Hello from southwest Missouri

[Xanous]

Im a little tired of facebook and started joining foums instead. Im just here to learn more. Mostlt lurking probably since I imagine most questions are answered if I search. I got my first breeding pair last fall. My doe had her second litter just before Easter. Got some getting close to butcher weight and not really looking forward to it lol Planning to get off pellets eventually.

Welcome. What is it about butcher day that is causing you concern?

 

[Xanous]

Killing the cute bunnies . Ill get over it when it comes time.

 

[user 8761]

Oh well I can’t offer you any tips on that lol we slaughter all kinds of ‘cute’ animals on our farm. The more you do it the easier it gets and the better you get at it.

Ive processed quail and chickens so Im sure itll be no different.

We have timing in common. I'm on 2nd litter with my first buck and doe. I keep them as pets and breeders but the babies go in the freezer. I wish someone would want to buy a few because they are very nice and healthy but if not..... I love their pelts and look forward to doing a better job this time around. I bought a homemade electric chicken plucker so now am working on building my flock for egg incubation to hatch out, grow and process. I think you will enjoy this site. I do, lots of help.

Incubating Easter eggs for hatching baby bunnies ? Ha ha ha just had to joke a bit.

I decided Im done processing chicken until I get a plucker. I could eat eggs over chicken anyway. For some reason the chickens I did never tasted good. Im thinking they were too old.

I will let you know how my flock turns out. Never processed chickens before or incubated eggs. Never a dull moment eh.
