Coffee anyone ?

We had a nice time with our company yesterday. They are our business partners in a country music TV station. They updated us on what is going on, it’s all sounding good. STRYK TV is now playing on Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV. Next will be Google TV. They have a program on their phone that shows how many people are watching and what town/state/country they are in. Amazing.

They left before the rooster killing. LOL Neighbors little boy was very happy for me to kill the rooster and said he was going to eat the rooster. I showed him the guts, explaining each organ. We killed my mean rooster too. I had a pen of 3 month old chicks and let him pick out a new rooster.

Hopefully today there are no rabbit emergencies, no craigslist crazies and no more invisible tornadoes

WHAT??? You'd have nothing to worry with?? A FREE DAY?

@Jesusfreak101, NOPE -- not enough time to do everything. And with young ones to care for, even less time. I agree first bird is hardest. Then you just say WTH and get on with the mess. Of course, it isn't something on my menu for a few days! Never eaten geese, duck yes. I have heard the feathers are difficult. You can get directions for a plucker on the net, powered by a drill. Not as efficient as those that look like a washing machine but, thrifty to make. Bread makers! put ingredients in, push buttons, get lovely smell, and loaf of bread a little later. Some good eating!

Bay, a radio station?? Who knew? Music to butcher by. I hope the new roo the young one picked turns out nicer than the last....

My DGD wanted a rooster I had mentioned I was going to butcher for personality. A few days later, she asked for him. How do you say NO? He's still nasty but, alive. Her rescue. Yeah, had to later provide a couple hens to see if it helped. Nope but, he's still alive Now, I don't even mention those things....later, they get chicken & dumplings. With explanation "made a big pot, want some?" They took pork chops from hog, don't want goat meat. Ate some in a stew I took them -- without defining further.

We all have our acceptance levels. Its fine. I don't raise rabbit (cute factor stops butchering -- but, could if had to). I'm sure Bruce could do poultry if it was allowed on the table.

Hey, I only like oysters fried done, others raw is good.

Coffee is on.
I have helped butcher with both chickens and rabbits. Rabbits are much easier, less mess.

Yep...

My kids (having grown up butchering poultry of all sorts... and helped with an occasional deer and a pig) were THRILLED when I handed them a rabbit.

They said that was the easiest, fastest, most wonderful butchering ever AND you got a cool pelt.

I told that little boy and his Dad that my meat has names. LOL

Is that REALLY too much to ask??

 

[Alaskan]

When the kids are little

Yes

 

[Jesusfreak101]

Well I don't have kids so I consider myself lucky ha ha!
So much for a drama-free day...all was going well until tonight when I was outside with my dogs and one of them went out of my sight around my truck (that doesn't start up anymore) and yelped...came running to me limping on her back leg. It's swollen but I have no clue what happened. She was only walking, no running, jumping or anything crazy so I don't think it's broken...I thought maybe a snake got her but I looked everywhere and didn't see one around.
Maybe a hornet? It's pretty swollen.
She has no other symptoms so far, just that she screams when I touch her leg but she puts some weight on it.
I gave her a Benadryl and some aspirin so hopefully she feels better tonight.
I'll see how she's doing in the morning and if it's bad i'll have to take her to the clinic

Coffee is on. Need to clean rabbit cages, tattoo bunnies. Photos of the ones I will sell. Hopefully we get some rain too. Need it so we can plant our new hay field. Spring was too wet, so far now it's too dry.
@Jesusfreak101 and @Alaskan I hope your kiddos slept which meant you did too.
@AmberLops hoping your dog is better and didn't tear her cruciate ligament.
