Bigbrownhorse...since you've rented a plucker and scolder, it will go quickly.I've seen it done many times, from killing cone to ice water should only be minutes per bird for one person.As you likely know at least 24 hrs is suggested for the bird to rest/chill before butchering.Then you need to...

That is so true Freemotion....I have an eggs client, who pays for her eggs,( not a barterer) she recently installed a woodburning stove. I heat my home with wood, and we talked about that in the past and now she wants a really good deal on the purchase of seasoned firewood.I have enough for my...
