An excellent reply! I know we used to (back in 2008) have that game bird feed available here. I'd have to check our organic options for something in that line.

You did 100 birds I see. It looks like you skinned them. Are they too hard to pluck, or to use a plucker on? How hard are they to gut? (My husband has a time with standard chickens...) Did you leave them in the chest for time to "hang" or cool and freeze right away?

You used a tractor on pasture. I am assuming, because they are so small, they can fly easily and our set-up would not work with them.

For feed, at only 8 lbs for 2 months, we could have our homestead feed maker make some up, so we could use organic.

This is very intriguing! I've resteemed the post so I can find it later. And thank you for such complete answers! Don't often run into someone who can give them about poultry!
