bronze Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 How cute! Dilly, I know what you're thinking! How can you hide an incubator and cheeping chickies from OH? She could hide the incubator but I think he would notice her obsessively going to whereever it is. Dilly- I'll try and contact my mate this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) They are gorgeous - what dispatcher did you get after all. RE question you posted on the C F which I can't find again now. I found a link on P P on how to dress chickens - a site which lots have recommended. http://butcherachicken.blogspot.com/2007/09/step-2-remove-feet.html It's just the same for quail - but they are smaller. Are you going to cull them yourself? P.S. Don't know how that chicken popped up - and it won't let me edit that and the smilie out!

bronze Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 Oh thank you Dilly Dh is doing the culling though I would if I had to. Don't think I could bear another incident like the 3 legged chick one though We've got the normal handheld one but after it arrived dh pointed out he could have just used a pair of pliars I just have to confidently sex them now my leg rings have arrived so I can just send him out to do all the ones with rings of a certain colour.
