I don't get the chicken stuff. I mean, if you didn't have like stores to buy eggs for basically free then I'd get it. but otherwise it just seems like a PITA and waste of energy. unless you enjoy it obviously. then go nuts if that makes you happy.

The chicken ranching gives the city/hippy/greenies who have a large suburban lot or mini ranch some sense of getting with nature farming.

And has for 15 years.  Then genius restauranteurs realized they can sell these same women "farm to table" concepts at a nice 20% markup over the Tyson birds that they were actually still serving

This brings me back to my childhood days.  My mom had leghorns and some reddish-brown ones.  She would order chicks in the spring and get them mailed to us.  She would let me or my little brother hold them because it was easy to quash them.  At about 6 weeks old she would be picking out young fryers and keep the biggest and meanest of the reddish-brown and leghorns.  All the rest made fine Sunday meals.  YLA, enjoy those tasty meals.

i participated in a full on slaughter at a neighbors house.  meaning head chopped with hatchet, ran around spraying blood, dip in boiling water then pluck and use machine to get pinfeathers off.

Yea, we did it the same way.  Mom had a stump and an axe and she was very good at it.  My job was to go find the headless chickens, and they loved getting in the ditch with the ten-foot-high fireweeds.  Also, the house stunk really bad with her putting them in the sink with boiling water.  Sometimes it took days to get rid of the smell, but damn they tasted good.

they had outdoor kettle on coleman

[Katpappy]

We had a huge outdoor kettle that sat on top of an incenter made of stacked steel tractor wheels with the spokes removed.  We would put wood in it and fill the kettle with water and while the fire heated the water to boiling we would shoot a pig just above the eyes while it was eating from a trough of grain and then hang it by the hind legs with the tractor and take it over to the kettle then dipped the pig for butchering.  In a way it was similar to butchering a chicken, but on a larger scale.

taco is a fine looking piece of chicken.  that naked neck bird is disgusting.  you should have your wife kill it next.

[star seed 7]

It looks diseased, I wouldn't eat it.

I think his wife probably male genitals fights the bird that looks bad. Just says the neck is naturally all mumped up that way as a cover story.

Don't know what is causing it?  I hold off on describing my slaughter job.

My dad is out at the cat less ranch helping our crop farmer plant the wheat and sent some updates over the weekend.

"Krause drill, loaded with Hamilton variety of dryland wheat seed bought from Jim Tubbs (TTT seeds).  We used all the seed I bought, getting 300 bushel from Ken's bin, then taking to TTT for cleaning, the planting today."

Ben ji are soil moisture conditions better than last year?

Is he using an air hose to get the wheat out of the truck?

No idea about the air hose but yeah, it rained this year. 18 inches so far (20 inches is average)and most of it since May so we may get a crop from our Milo this year and a wheat crop next year.
