Meat chickens

[Iluv2hunt]

The only good cat is a dead cat. I woke up this morning and my tail gate has been clawed up. I mean bad. I hope I catch a $10,000 prize cat in the trap tonight.

Just thought that you might need some instructions.

I don't know if I missed it but what breed did you get?

Inside cats... not for me.. but outside cats that people let come in my yard... That really pisses me off. I let my dog out when I see them.

My catch dog is a bulldog mix of some sort, but he is a cat slayer. There are a bunch of feral cats that run around my neighborhood and he's got a couple of them.

He bites them in the midsection then puts his paws on either side of his head and holds the cat down while yanking up on its middle. lol, one of the neighbors saw it happen one day and they freaked out a bit.

Mine came back except for 1. Damn things were hiding under something I guess. I still haven't the slightest clue where they were....

I have cleaned a lot of chickens both my parents grew up on chicken farms. we raised them to

Now theres the fun way and the production way.

The fun is the ax. Puts on a show for the kids

The production is hanging the chicken upside down hooking a 10# weight in the beak. Then thru the mouth with a small knife into the brain. The nerves will twitch you have a short time to pluck it. Its faster and safer for human consumption.
When you chop the head then scald with boiling water you promote bacteria growth.

Oh and don't throw away the unhatched eggs there good.

Whatever you gave them they seem to like. When they eat they grow...So I'd make sure if they ever wanted to eat it was there for them. Funny thing is I told my wife the other day with our layers, "babe if you want eggs ya have to feed them. No imput no output."

[Iluv2hunt]

My layers have a gravity fed feeder in their pen that they can eat out of free choice all day.

The problem with these meat birds is they will literally eat themselves to death. If food is put in front of them all day, they will have leg problems and heart issues. You have to ration them and let them run out of food a few times a day. They will literally just lay in front of the feeder all day and eat
