I hate to say this but...

Hey guys! I wanted to post this on BYC but they are now un-operational, so...

My routine every morning:



Get compost for chickens.
Fill water bucket for chickens.
Go outside, feed cats.
Cats ignore food and follow me.
Halfway to coop, put water and compost down to get feed from shed.
Cats try to drink chicken water.
I open shed and open feed bin.
Cats try to get into feed bin.
I put the lid on the feed bin.
Cats try to eat feed out of bucket.
I pick bucket up.
Cats try to eat compost.
I pick the compost and water up.
Cats follow me to coop.
I dump compost into run, cats try to eat the leftovers in the bucket
I fill the water, cats try to drink water again
I fill the feed, cats try to lick the dust out of bucket
I clean the coop, cats sit outside the coop window meowing.
I go back to the house. Cats resume eating. Time wasted? YES!!!

Sounds like you are being appropriately snoopervised.

I may be being presumptive here, but I'm taking a wager, remember, this is JUST a guess, totally not concrete information here- that you MAY have a lot of cats?

We have always set them on the ground...after the neck we just hold them up to bleed out.... can't imagine hanging a duck or goose by the feet. We use a killing cone for chickens.
Turkeys we shoot then bleed out. They are too big for cones.
We don't pluck ducks or geese - we just take the meat- pull back the skin.

We skin our muscovy but pluck the pekins because we raise for family and they want the crispy duck skin lol.

We're exceedingly grateful for all of the gracious welcomes you all have given the transplant BYCers.
I'm intending to stick around once BYC returns, so y'all can't get rid of me too easily...

I'm glad your sticking around!

 

[casportpony]

I'll stick around.

I'll stick around.

Havn't you been loitering for awhile now

Yeah, been here for 1.5 years, but think I will try to be more active.

Active is good....

Of course there is nothing wrong with just reading stuff...i do that some days.

I think I remember folks back in the day saying they hung smaller birds, i.e. chickens and ducks in a row on a clothesline. Once all calm, they went through with a sharp pair of hedge clippers. Snip, snip, snip

This certainly works for chickens, and we have done it! But ducks' legs are supposedly too fragile to properly hang by.
