The NEW Crazy 24hr AUCTION thread

[emvickrey]

Don't know what happened to your pic I used.... Well, I was asking about the hen in the 2nd pic, which I would guess is the one you said is the splash that came from a blue hen and a WC blue polish. I LOVE that look!!! Are you continuing on with that project?

No, I sold the roo. I had kept 3 pullets, 2 black and 1 splash. I sold the rest. Something got the smaller black pullet right out of the pen with no sign at all. I suppose we have a large snake hiding out somewhere. Anything else would have left a track of feathers. That splash won fist place in BV in a show when she was 3 months old. I plan to put Elvis and Pricilla in a show providing they aren't Broody, breeding or molting at the time. It seems thats when they want to look their worst is when there is a show. I haven't named that splash pullet or her sister the black pullet. I hatched out 4 of the splash's eggs and it seems that 3 of them are going to be splash and it's looking like 2 will be frizzled. Still a little early to tell though.

Kim - yours are cooking along in one of my 'bators. I don't think I'm going to get any of the SPPRs to hatch - I honestly couldn't see well enough inside of them to confidently pull them out, but I think they might not hatch. I'll definitely try to get a couple more of those from you the next time I see you have some! My kiddos were excited about those because they kept calling them SUPER eggs. Your eggs traveled very well with plenty of extras, and as of right now, I'm anticipating hatching:

+ or - 1 SPPR
Maybe a couple of BCMs (again too dark for this novice)
+ or - 2 Welsummer
and a few Blue and Lavender Ameraucanas - I'm super excited about those!!!

Now if you'll just come to my house and hold my hand Saturday through Tuesday, I think we'll be ok!

I'm not a drinker, but I think in the case of a group hand holding hatch, that booze should be involved.

Arielle, if I KNEW we would be able to roast one of these guys, I would definitely jump on this... We are flock newbies and while I'm not quite at the point where I think we could butcher a chicken, I sure do loooooove turkey!

Quote: WHen I realized that finding a place to butcher was near impossible, then found one close by at $5 per chicken or $10 turkey, well I decided I needed to learn a new skill toward self-suffiecency. I say a prayer at the "time" -- thanking each for the food going onto my plate and feeding my family.

I can do 1 turkey in the time of 2 chickens. Guess which gives more meat for the effort?? Besides turkey tastes different, and I like variety.

I want to learn to process chickens and turkeys but for some reason I go all squeamish even doing a mercy killing! I csn gut and clean fish and do eggtopsies without batting an eye but can't do it on birdies! *facepalm*

I have found that a killing cone makes all of the difference. I even take them and swaddle them in a kids 3T t-shirt and duct tape to stop them from struggling, then I put them in the killing cone and sever their Jugular and let them bleed out, then I sever the cervical vertebrae.
