A friend and I hit the WSU Extension Winter Classes at Stanwood Highschool today. We took a poultry processing class - warning if you dont like seeing pictures of animals being slaughtered, don't click.

HI, i took one of the processing classes 3 years ago but we didn't actually do it…..Then 2 summers ago i did a class in Bellevue where each of us processed one and helped each other. The hardest part for me is to find a way to humanely kill them. We broke their necks and then slit them to bleed out. I attended Winter school this year too, but took other types of classes…I do recommend this yearly event. it is wonderful….The llama and alpacas belong to Don S. from Carnation area..apologize cannot remember his last name….He and wife are really nice.

Anyway, just stopped by to say Hi! I was 1,000 posts behind so I just read the past few days and called it good.

Hi There, Great to see Ya !!! After the last show i just went passed the old posts and have been trying to keep up…..Its a really nice community to visit. So, Tell us something good.

Hey Eliz, nice to see you around lately. I keep wanting to go to a class but never seem to manage. Do you butcher at home now? I sure the most difficult for me would be the kill.

Are you going to the Monroe show?

I have a rooster free to a good home. I am in NE Seattle. He is an EE, hatched first week of August.

That's a very pretty boy - wish I had room for him! Hope he finds a good home.

I know this might be a long shot but does anyone have an extra brooders (homemade or not) and/or incubators they'd be willing to sell? I'm in Enumclaw but willing to meet or drive somewhere (within reason, of course!).

Thanks!!!

yes, that's where I got them he was very nice and through up in half a dozen extra since he is unsure of the fertility. Here's the chicks to be:

If anyone is looking for a start with the ultimate homesteading fowl, the Langshan, this amazing young trio has been donated to the Prairie Hatcher 4-H Club's annual fundraising auction, Feb 22nd at Clark County Fairgrounds. You don't often get a chance at birds of this quality, and you support a good cause at the same time!
