Thanks, I wasn't sure about decreased exercise vs needing to stay warm in -10 temps.![]()
Now...the question is, what to make of it?
- Either I am feeding too many carbs and proteins, which is a possibility because both culls had WAY too much fat around their vents~ OR~
- These two birds were prone to overeat and accumulate fat, which is also a possibility due to their fat stores and the placement of them~ OR~
- It's the time of year when they are supposed to be accumulating fat of this nature and I don't get to see this level of fat because I never cull at this time of the year~ OR~
- A combination of all these factors~which I'm inclined to believe is the logical answer.
I've always found that those fence running loud mouths were much improved if you shot the points off their little ugly heads. Oh, the peace and quiet....Just gonna brag for a minute...
The hubbs and I processed the 4 guineas today!
Well... I caught them, held them, put the flailing bodies in a tub, scalded them, plucked them, gutted them, washed them and got them ready to roast.
The hubbs felt very "Manly" because he helped by chopping off their heads with a machete. (No sissy axe or sharp knife for this guy! Had to be this big, ridiculous ninja-style machete!) -The things we women allow just so we can get a dude to help!![]()
Huh... suddenly it's so quiet around here!
Buh-bye!
