Wednesday I hand picked 10 chickens, dumb thing to do. Packed on ice, I’ll process them today. Yesterday I went to my friend’s house and got his chicken plucker. We figured out that I’ll be done with all of mine about the time he needs to start on his. LOL

sounds like perfect planning to me.

I found adding flaked finishing corn to their feed, a couple weeks before. Makes for some mighty tastey chicken dinners. But then again I live in what should be known as corn cob, so it's easy to get free corn.

I ferment their feed in buttermilk and water the last 2-3 weeks.

My friend gave me 4 more big chickens yesterday plus more feed. I got the 10 chickens processed and in the freezer. I cut some off the bone, wound up with 4 pounds of deboned chicken. I made pan sausage with it today.

My slaughtering days will be Wednesday and Thursday, trash runs on Friday so I can get rid of the guts and feathers. Before anyone gets on their compost bandwagon, if I bury it inside one of the fields, the dogs will digit up and probably roll in it. Ick. And Phew. If I bury it in the downed fence back field, hogs will dig it up. If I double bag it and put in trash can, it won’t have time to get putrid and stinky and will be gone.

That sounds like a good "finshing" schedule, thanks for that.
