Hopefully, they are having you come in for review of your test results so they can massage your wallet.

I hope it's all ok. I don't think it's a case of "massage your wallet" if you're having chest pains. Whatever the reason, it really does need to be addressed so I'm really glad you're following through. And yep, we look forward to following you and your family's progress!

CCX are a great way to stock the freezer with meat in a very short time. Are those shrink bags?

chicken bondage... hmm... not my thing, but who am i to judge?

Are those shrink bags?

sure look like it....right? Fast? tell us more about use.

I've considered them but, only one to do the butchering makes it a not fun process. I'd reconsider if something helped. NO, not spending for all the plucker tubs, etc. Not worth it for just me.

I keep thinking I want to buy turkey poults, or breeding pair....BUT, then I remind self -- you only eat it a couple times a year and have 3 turkey breast in freezer right now! self control needed.

it's not bad. I get 20ish chicks and put in the tractor. at 8 weeks the kids and I do 10 and then the next weekend we do 10 more. usually takes about 2 hours to do 10 start to finish. it's the best meat source I have found yet besides venison.
