The Natural Chicken Keeping thread - OTs welcome!

[Leahs Mom]

@ Leahs Mom...I'm waiting for the 'OK' from the Moderators to post the video that will be made of our farm, buildings and stock...including the dogs (a new one..Caucasian Ovcharka) as well as the processing areas. Also will be select cuts of our upcoming clinic, beginning next Friday.

I'll be headed 'South', to the extreme, for vacation but I want to see the video up before the 16th. I hope you and others enjoy it. I have o problem with it being moved around to other threads if the moderators wont object.

I hope you post it here first !

It looks like some Marans I've hatched out. Does it have feathered legs?

No feathered legs. He's (I call them all he. That way I'm not disappointed when I'm wrong.) short and squatty compared to the Sussex. He'll be going to a new home when he's older, but I was curious what he is.

Would you mind if I used your photos to show the Moderators about what's coming up in our video, leaving us considerable room for mitigation?

Neither caponizing nor poulderizing is nearly so 'messy' as this. I know I don't have to ask permission but it's the way I do business.

I'm not hellbender, but poulardizing is "spaying" a young female before she starts laying, that is meant for meat. She puts more energy into growing big and fat and doesn't waste any building a laying system that isn't needed. The meat is suppose to be much better then even a capon.

I should have figured that out lol. Thank you!

Thank you Kassaundra, for the explanation and for correcting my spelling of the word.

Any of these pictured could be either a poularde or a capon.




As opposed to some of the birds that might have missed the procedure and were cooked anyhow.


Perhaps just a bit of exaggeration here...

Nothing illegal. Using them simply to compare what happens to chickens on a regular basis as compared to the procedure used in caponizing and poulardizing youngsters.

Thank you
