Done, all the broilers AND the extra cockerels are cleaned. Made elderberry jelly too (first time)! What a weekend, now to put a turkey in the oven (from last year)! One very happy cockerel got a last minute 'stay' he's quite pretty (wildly colored for an araucana) and I will see what he and one of my young pullets produce next year.
"Silence of the Crows!" I read the title and thought you meant crows as in the black colored bird!! Now I get it! I clicked in the thread half expecting to see a shot of you on one knee with a shotgun in hand and 20 dead crows laying in front! Sounds like a busy weekend!
