I'm looking for someone in Fife who will cull & dress seven (I think) cockerels in exchange for a bottle of Adelphi whisky. I thought I'd be able to do it - I'm not, I'm a wimp. We're near Dunfermline. Any takers?

shame ur not closer, by kids are great pluckers .. lol..

[Dizzycow]

Your KIDS? Now I feel even more of a pansy!

[princesspiggy]

be brave, an give it a try, its quite interesting really. its quite usual to see chooks hanging up in our porch during the winter. it gets easier and quicker the more u do.

You're right, I should do it myself. I do need someone to show me what to do, though as I wouldn't want to get it wrong..... !

i did it by following an outline of how to do it i found on google. probs not done in the tidiest fashion, but its done. they are in the freezer, so time will tell!

I am down from the croft visiting my partner who is working Monday so I could do it then.  Provided you want to give me a hand with the plucking and dont mind me bring Floyd my border collie who believes everyone is his friend.

the pansy's way (!) is to skin rather than pluck, then just take off the "best" bits for human consumption.
helps if you have cats/dogs who will eat the bits you don't fancy - makes it feel less wasteful!

Pants, just back from a BBQ. Monday would be brilliant if your plan haven't been finalised, Floyd welcome as long as he doesn't mind exuberant lab & cocker...! If not monday then anytime suits you I'd be more than grateful! Cheers.

89 years notice seemed a bit excessive, then I realised you meant 9 o'clock

we do that too, much quicker. dogs will soon eat the rest.

I do that with pheasants, it doesn't bother me at all. But pheasants all look the same, and I hatched all these boys myself..... maybe I should do it in the dark?!

Just got back in.  Sadly I am heading up north tomorrow so am unable to help you out.

[Dizzycow]

No problem. Thanks anyway!
