Jodief100--- random stuff and BIG news

We did the same thing! Works great. We had a smaller one and the turkeys were too big for it. The high end industrial plucker we rented was not able to handle the weight of the turkeys.
Do you de-brain yours?

We don't debrain the birds. I never have trouble plucking if I scald them properly.

Hubby got his inspection for the electric on the garage done. Now all we have to do it wait for the electric company to hook it up and we will have POWER! Hubby will be able to run his power tools!

We had someone come out yesterday to fix a leak on the oil tank. He was driving away when all of a sudden he stops, gets out, runs around to the back and opens the back door on his truck. My little black cat, Buster jumps out of the back like a rocket! Buster loves to climb in boxes, cases, anything enclosed. I guess he found a cozy place to snuggle in the back of the truck. The guy said he started to pull out and he heard this horrible ruckus in the back. Hubby was rolling on the ground laughing at my poor baby.

Our chickens do the same thing! If someone stops by they better roll their windows up because our modern game bantams especially love to be nosy! Some of our birds are such busybodies! They don't do it in our visitor/customer parking area just the personal driveway!

I am thinking about the de-braining because I don't like the scalding, mostly because of bacteria issues and its not a kosher slaughter practice. We still do it, and honestly I don't really like going in through the mouth. The funniest thing about it is I'm not the one who does that part and I still don't like it.

for POWER!

We did lose a couple cats that way! Mom had cleaned out the freezer and the dummies crawled into the dumpster to eat the meat...long story short mom had to got to the dump to pick them up although one of the guys had taken the little one home.

Also for people in cold weather...check under your hood before starting your car or truck...they like to lie on the warm engine and ... well...you know the rest Had that happen to a cat when I was a kid and it was a very sad day.

Glad you got your cat back Jodie

The turkeys didn't come in for dinner last night and I haven't seen them all morning. I hope they haven't run off. I doubt something would have killed 17 adult turkeys in one day.

Saw this this morning, just wondering if they've come back yet. I sure hope they do!

 

[Pearce Pastures]

Any signs of them yet?

The piggie turkeys came home for dinner. Hubby had found them around noon helping themselves to my neighbors deer feeder.

So glad you found them!! Bad, bad turkeys. I was thinkin' maybe they knew their time was short and decided to "fly the coop"! Maybe they saw the new turkey fryer and snuck in on BYH saw your post from last week, put two and two together and figured "hey it is the weekend......."
