All you need is a sharp knife, a canning kettle, an old work table, and plastic bags for the feathers and innards. I'm not real fast at it, but once I start the processing step it's only 15 minutes or so until they are ready to chill. No blood in the house, and a bird raised on a good diet, withdrawn from feed at least 14 hours before processing, and hosed off after bleeding out makes almost no mess that can't be bagged.

No need to do them all at once, I prefer not to do more than 5 at a sitting unless I have help to make it a production line.

It is illegal for me to sell birds that I have processed here in Ontario, they must have the stamp of an approved provincial inspector.

Build stackable brooders.

Yeah, that isn't going to be too much of a problem actually. I used a light box I had built for germinating and growing transplants to make the brooder I have, and I already have 2 more light boxes. The biggest problem is going to be getting enough heat into them in that first week or so. I took the heat lamp out from the 3 stooges when they were like 9 days old, and they were fine. With so many chicks in each brooder, I have to wonder if they will need any heat lamp at all.

I feel the same way when I drive to Alabama.
Get a map, Amy
Sorry gachooks
You know what they say, the only good thing coming out of GA is 85 north

Got one on the wall.

I've been meaning to bring this up and keep forgetting:

Has anybody heard the myth that you have to throw out any eggs your chickens lay during a thunder storm?

 

[NTBugtraq]

Really, not saying this to joke, I wish I could put the mental picture I have of you on the screen.
A genius, probably never have to worry about where the money for the next power bill is coming from, in the middle of nowhere, chain smoking, and trying to cram 800,000 chickens onto Hell's half acre. Did you guys read about Ted Kaczynski up there?

Well, if it wasn't a joke, why'd it make me laugh so hard?

Genius...no way...ingenius...I have my moments.

Money...mostly spent now, I'm using what little capital I have left to ingeniously create things that will provide me with an income for the future.

Yeah, we heard of Ted...I like to think I don't ramble as much as he did and I definitely don't see conspiracies...;-]

No, but I've seen a chicken throw an egg when it thundered. Kinda like Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
edit: And no, I will NOT be posting a pic of that

Egg, obviously...what's a more interesting question is how did the chicken that came out of the egg survive. Mom, not a chicken, looks down at thing in nest and thinks..."Hmm, that's not one of mine!"
