First round of dubbing starts in the morning, can't wait

Scissors or scalpel?

Surgical shears I'll never use a scalpel too messy, jagged can't have 100% control and rougher on the stag. Shears quick clean control and the stag is back in his pen

I only have experience skinning the whole cape including the comb. Obviously much different. Bird isn't exactly capable of moving around on me. Is there any particular brand or style that you recommend? I have a friend from Vietnam some of his ways seemed a little rough to me. Lol

Jeffers pets has surgical scissors but they are very nice solidly made and heavy like shears for 4 or 5.00 I have the straight and curved but only use the straight didn't like the curved. The wife holds the stag wrapped tight in a towel with legs and feet straight out the back and only the head exposed. She lays him down on a big dog crate on one side I trim one wattle then she flips him I trim the other then the comb I trim from front to back along the top if his bill to his head then go from back to front across his head tight to the other cut. Dress him up a lil pat dry then back to the pen. If he's straight comb the only thing different is between the front and back cut I cut the comb straight up from the back of the head. Usually no blood or just a little ooze I dub at daylight.

I wish I would've paid better attention to my father when we had 50 plus stags to do every year. What would be really neat is if I would have had my mother video some of them, he was definitely a pro at it. I remember him looking at the almanac every year to see when the sign was in the feet to the trimming, there was always very little blood.

Anyone raise flarry eye greys

I'm raising two little chicks right now from a lady i met at a chicken meet up this month.
I'll try to post a pic of the parents, the cock has white legs though so I tried picking two chicks with blueish looking legs.

I believe the second picture is of the same hen as the first because she said she has two hens and the second has large spurs but the second is hard to capture in a picture because she's always broody.
