Monday we went and picked up 50 new training birds. Today was a cold rainy miserable day so we decided it was a good one to clean one of the bird freezers. There were some real skankers in there that had be put away wet. My husband helped and once we had sorted out the really bad ones I took them to the back of the property for disposal. The coyotes will be having duckcicles tonight and by tomorrow there won't be a sign of any that I threw out.
The other freezer will get done tomorrow and we will be all set for the season. The farmer that raises our birds does a wonderful job. They are very clean birds and he bags them individually and freezes them. With the cost of feed however, the price has gone up to $13.00 a bird. We get the 22 week birds that are fully feathered and if you look after them they last a long time.
