second attempt. some slight improvements and more ideas for future improvements.

I think you are doing a great job. it sure looks good to me. Really, no matter what it looks like, as long as it works, all is good.

im getting better. the wife wasnt so i made her go to the dr. she has an upper repository thing. a couple shots and a few prescriptions and shes on the mend.


MEAT birds got out some time in the night. they wondered about 10 feet from the chicken tractor. no losses were had bit we had fun herding them back in this morning. they are getting big and our schedule is full for the next few weeks. gonna put 5 in the freezer today and try to get a jump on things. maybe next weekend i can squeeze in 5 more before my brother in laws wedding.

5 birds in the freezer. we just skinned them and packed the breasts, legs and thighs. the left over carcass got chopped up and put in bags along with the organs and feet for dog food.

altogether 5 birds makes meat for 6 meals for the family of 6 and 3 meals for the 3 dogs . the feathers and guts get buried in the garden.
