Sorry Mike, hope they aren't missing for good. Hope whatever set up the ruckus just scared them into hiding somewhere. Hope you find the perp as well.

Hope they're just hiding and will come out when they feel less threatened...

It would be unusual for all of them to be gotten that quickly, the alert call from the others probably sent them to hiding....at least I sure hope so.....

I've never had crawfish, my only involvement was one time when my Dad, stepmother and I went out for dinner. She got the crawfish. In the shell. Dad and I were peeling them for her after we finished eating. Now if someone ELSE wants to peel the little buggers, I'm gameI haven't had crawfish anything since I moved up to NY 9 years ago...
Sure hope those chicks do show up Mike. I agree, I don't think anything could get them all at once. Of course at 3 weeks they aren't trained to go back to the coop by themselves either.

Now the "proper" way to eat them is at a Crawfish boil, usually outside. You "dump" the boiled crawfish and other yummy goodness like Andouille sausages, corn, taters...on the table. Everyone gather around the table, peel and eat away.

We used to do that about once a month with all of the people that I worked with at the Navy Base. Of course there was usually a keg involved back in those days.
Sorry I was slow updating as I was out cutting grass so I can spray but the chicks are all here. The coop they are in sets on a pallet and one of the boards that seals it shut had an opening that they found and they were all caught under there. We figured that out when we saw the hen would not leave the side of the coop but just sat there waiting for them to come out.

I've eaten my share of crawfish and can peel one way faster than I can a boiled egg or take the meat from a crab leg. (My wife won't eat them; says they taste like "bad shrimp" and I suppose it IS an acquired taste)
You can buy them from Amazon, par boiled in or out of season-- frozen, already peeled and deveined but of course, it's only the tail meat......you will miss out of suckin the heads (which I do not participate in anyway)

I would avoid Boudreaux Brand. Says right on the package "Product of China" and reviews say it has a decidedly 'ammonia' taste to it.
BUT, they use that magic word that all the kewl kids use and look for in product searches. Sustainable
"wild caught" too...which of course means those crawfish lived their happy little (albeit short) lives as free range animals, without a care in the world, and are probably/maybe all natural, 100% organic, non-gmo, gluten free and peeled by only the best and brightest children China can find to work in their Sustainable seafood plant.
