Comments on: Some answers to your questionsThis is a journal, of sorts, of an organic garden in SW Michigan. "Ut sementem feceris, ita metes."By: emilie- April 17, 2008 oh good! Someone else has a husband afraid of whole birds. Mine hangs out in the next room whenever I roast a chicken and can't even look at the bird until I've cut off the breast for him.http://fastgrowtheweeds.com/2008/04/17/some-answers-to-your-questions/#comment-2327 By: El- April 17, 2008 Sorry Pamela!!!! Really. I was trying to be as ick-free as possible! I don't intend to do it again for a while...but I will be really sure to post a warning to you first :) (and remember I was a vegetarian for 16 years until last October)http://fastgrowtheweeds.com/2008/04/17/some-answers-to-your-questions/#comment-2326 By: Pamela- April 17, 2008 p.s. I'll be back tomorrow;this site (except for dead poultry days) is great fun.http://fastgrowtheweeds.com/2008/04/17/some-answers-to-your-questions/#comment-2325 By: Pamela- April 17, 2008 Poor guinea girls. I think you need a warning code when a dead poultry post is coming. How about this-- go away Pamela.http://fastgrowtheweeds.com/2008/04/17/some-answers-to-your-questions/#comment-2324 By: El- April 17, 2008 Ali, I am sure caponizing them might solve ONE problem, but it brings with it a couple more: you mentioned the biggest one (ick). I really just don't think they're domesticated enough to really be worthwhile yard birds. On noise alone... And my daughter was a little sad. She wasn't here at the time but she knew it was coming. She knows it's going to happen to the chicks too. But she still has her lap birds so she has enough feathered friends!http://fastgrowtheweeds.com/2008/04/17/some-answers-to-your-questions/#comment-2323 By: Ali- April 17, 2008 How did your daughter react Might caponizing male gunieas in the future solve this problem Not that I want to learn to do that job, but the chicken manual makes it seem possible!

I made a modified killing cone out of a milk jug and used my fish fillet knife.http://fastgrowtheweeds.com/2008/04/17/some-answers-to-your-questions/#comment-2321 By: teem- April 17, 2008 Roasted guinea - my favorite. If I'd a known I'd a driven over for dinner. BTW - no info on the slaughter itself. Did you wring his neck or just chop his head offhttp://fastgrowtheweeds.com/2008/04/17/some-answers-to-your-questions/#comment-2320 |
