Jules. Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 The boys were 17 weeks old on Saturday, & it was time for them to go. The dispatching went well, I was a little bit nervous beforehand, just so that I'd do it quickly & humanely. I've took the skin off my finger plucking. I'm going to gut them tomorrow night, then freeze them. We'll have one as a roast on Sunday, & my work colleagues want me to take some cooked chicken in, so they can taste them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Well done. Were they Light Sussex? I'd love to raise meat birds, maybe after the dispatch course I can convince the parentals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
