poor goat chicken - how sad

Sorry SCG...

I could use the cleaning service, too.

Just had a goat step on goat-chicken (the chicken that thinks shes a goat and lives with the goats instead of the chickens) and split her from neck down past her crop. We just had to finish her off.

It's always the unique ones that die. It's never the ones that just mosey through life.

Ain't that the truth.

Yesterday we processed 9 rabbits and two cornish x. After the two cornish I told dh I did not like it and I did not want to do this again.
He agreed. We posted them online for sale and a lady is coming tomorrow to pick them up. It was a pain in the behind after doing all the rabbits to take 2 hrs to pluck chickens! I don't want to do that again. sheesh

You can always skin the chickens, it's much easier.

Butchering can be very time consuming work. I skin and split with poultry shears for now on for any chicken I don't plan on frying or roasting. Much of my birds are destined for the crock pot or pressure cooker for soups, stews, chicken-n-dumplins or bisquts, no need for the extra work of plucking, even with a plucker there is work.
I've added work to those I pluck though, dry pluck now, much better skin roasted up.

Thanks. I told my dh about trying to skin them. But we just don't want to do it.

Just a "little more work" you have to do to "earn" your eventual dinner... Gotta admit, store bought sure is easier, even if it isn't as good for you. Hmmmm I wonder if that's why some folks get it in their head that unless it's hard and hurts, it can't be good for you?

I've only had rabbit once in my life that I can remember. My Stepdad shot it. A wild one. Back in the 60's. I just remember picking out the gun shot pebbles. :/

Anyway, back to this thought. Anyone into reg. exercise? I miss it. Use to be able to on a regular basis. Getting older. Now I find some really good excuses..at least, I make myself think they are. :/
