DW is not exactly about the butchering* process. The helper would speed things up for sure. It takes me a few minutes to pluck a quail. Maybe I am just slow... skinning takes me seconds though.quail pluck really easy! probably not much time difference overall than skinning. Hubby and I have a pretty good system....he pulls the head off and dunks then hands off to me for plucking then he guts and I finish cleaning and packaging. we each jump in and help the other as needed.
*Edited to correct "butchering", not "budgeting".
