    Scalding Pot size??

    I used a propane turkey fryer with my water, on the burner for the fryer. It worked great. And I plucked in the wheelbarrow.

    I'm a little mixed up

    can you post photos of your birds? I ended up not butchering my meat birds (Cornish) and they turned out to be very good layers. They are white birds and give me light brown eggs. Separating might be the best way to go. The ones you think you want to keep, just separate them from the rest for a...

    Humane why to kill male chicks

    Having a husband or boyfriend is not necessarily a help. There are a lot of pansy men out there, believe me, I know. My ex-husband wouldn't even bait his own fishing hook, take the fish off or clean his catch.. All he did was cast out and reel in.. shoot, he wouldn't even empty the mouse trap...

    Killing, Plucking, Eviscerating, & Cutting Up Your Chicken - Graphic!

    I let mine rest in the fridge for 3 days before freezing. It allows time for rigor to pass. And when I roast them, I put them in a roasting bag with the breast side down. That's also the way I cook my turkeys.
