We got 13 CCX butchered today and packed on ice. That is hard work. We finished up at 2:30 just as it started to sprinkle. We cleaned up, and BJ headed for a shower. I did evening chores and headed for a shower. I got squirted with blood and looked like an axe murderer. LOL BJ got sh!t at and hit multiple times. I was so tired yesterday evening that my brains were not working, and I fed the chickens. We use a killing cone, BJ holds their feet to keep them from backing out. So he got the full chicken poop volcano spewing in big squirting blobs. LOL Even standing off to the side, those durn chickens aimed at him.
We both took Aleve, back hurts, shoulders hurt, tired, sore, my feel good hurts. Haha. Tomorrow I get to stand in the kitchen and process them. Oh joy. (sarcasm)

Yeah, gotta eat. CCX are a great way to raise a LOT of meat in a short time. I ferment the feed, move the pen daily to fresh grass. I call them Dirty Birdies. LOL LOL

Well congrats again on the butchering Bay. And yes dirty birdies they are. Ecspecially if you have to wait another week or 2.
I'm thinking with my dark cornish (an astounding never happens) I have 2 of 12 (the 12 left) are going to be roo's. Makes me glad I didn't process one of my only 2 roo's left. One is a home raised pure breed. The other is out of the bantam hen and I'm not sure which roo. Sucks that out of 30 birds and left with 5 that 2 of those are roo's but may come in handy now.

My 8 black sex links have a sneaky barred too in the bunch. Or at least that’s what it looks like. They are a month old.

Coffee is on.
Today is school, grocery run and picking up Babe a friends welsh pony. She's small but a good step up for the girls as they're quickly outgrowing our mini, Rayne. And Babe needs a dry lot which I have.
Girls had fun riding at the arena, Jocelyn had her lesson on our pony Richie. He's amazing. Kinzey rode Rayne just for fun, no lesson. There was a lot going on but both ponies did excellent.

Thanks for the coffee. I have 13 chickens to process today. I’ll be busy. I wish I had a good idea for supper, with a freezer full of meat, I’m drawing a blank. I guess because I don’t want to have to spend time cooking after being in the kitchen all day processing chickens. Maybe I’ll start a pot of beans.
BJ is worn out, sore and can spend some quality time in his recliner today. LOL he needs to rest up, there is 12 more out there.

We are doing lots of crockpot meals... last night was pork chops with ranch seasoning topped with 2 cans of cream of soups. So all I had to do was add sides. They were fall apart tender.

I did crockpot pork roast last week, it sure was nice to have it already cooked. Hmmm I’ve hit lots of hamburger, maybe spaghetti. I canned my own sauce last year, just dump it out and heat. Ok, spaghetti tonight!
Hint for home canned spaghetti sauce;
No matter how much or how long I cook the sauce down, it’s always a little watery. So while heating it up, I sprinkle a little corn flour in it until I get the consistency I want.
Now, finish this cup of coffee, go outside and do chores, then get to chicken-ing!

Good morning all. Light rain on and off today.

Beer can chicken. It's great and one less to cut up... last night was pork chops with ranch seasoning topped with 2 cans of cream of soups.
Unless you've decided on the spaghetti.

Edit PA's porkchops and cream of mushroom is supposed to be here.
One of my favorites. I've even done that one in the motel. Get off work open lid and stir.
