Turkeys For 2013

[Bettacreek]

I couldn't imagine! A ton would've lasted me an entire year with my main meat and egg flock. Now, we're going through a good bit more. Seems like babies eat more than adults!

The poults sunning it's self is precious. It's completely normal, all birds do it. Sometimes they lay so still, I touch them to make sure they are alive! LOL

You can lead a horse to water.......

but I'm NOT going to suck on his butt to make him drink.

if you don't get it, just think of the horse as a straw

So we have eatten our own home grown turkeys before, BBWs that we had processed at a local farm.

WELL.......


We bit the bullet and just tonight processed one of our own Bourbon Red tom. Boy We were nervous but all went well. We didnt do the prettiest job dressing him but he looks pretty good. He will sit and wait in the fridge for the next 4 days til he can join us for Easter dinner. I will probably brine hime for 12rs before cooking.

My Daughter pulled some Turkey out of the freezer part of a Red Bourbon Tom that I brine for about 12 to 14 hours and then smoked it on the grill and it was as good or better than when I cooked it and the moister stayed in the meat.
There is no comparison between a store bought bird and a home grown one.

7am this morning I got a call that my Eggs that Celie had sent me has come in Thanks again Celie.
I will be putting 48 eggs in the Incubator tomorrow.
