You can certainly wash it into the ground but I try to catch as much as I reasonably can in a bucket for later disposal.

The feathers really do go everywhere but a rake should get most of that cleaned up. I tend to skin more birds than I pluck (until I get my new plucker set up and running, anyway). It is easier and doesn't make near the mess.

I wouldn't mind an audience. I have a few local folks that are already asking me to show them. Too bad we'd freak out the "normal" people that might be at Cliff's TSC swap thingy or I could show you there. lol

lol!

If you let me know the next time you're processing, I'll gladly be there :) Thank you!!

What breeds do you process? I'm trying to figure out what breeds would be best for me. I love roasted chicken, but it's also VERY important to me that they can have a "normal" chicken life before slaughter-be able to walk around, enjoy the sunshine, scratch for bugs, etc.

I quarantine for 4 weeks before I put any birds outside where my flock lives.
 
*covers my eyes since I have NO business adding to my flock right now*

What is everyone bringing? Flower-will you be selling fodder at the meet? I definitely want!

I have nothing to bring but my sweet self and a lot of enthusiasm for learning new things that will make my girls happier (provided no one tells them I want to raise meat birds). lol!

Someone on craigslist had 40 meat chicks for $1 each.

I am going to bring a sample tray or two.....just to show (with some info sheets). I can bring you some barley seeds from our local feedstore if you need me to. It's about $20 (may have tax added) Let me know.

And, if you are bringing nothing, you have more room to take home LOTS! hahawahhaaa!

That's my friend Anne in Cumming :) She's the one who got me thinking about this again so closely. lol!

That would be great! Thank you!

I can bring home lots, just no more chickens until I get these chicks integrated with my big girls. They free-ranged with them for the first time yesterday afternoon (under my watchful eye). I don't rush ANYTHING-let the girls do things at their own pace :)
