I am very proud of myself today
« on: October 22, 2012, 08:41:27 pm »
 ;D ;D ;D




Yesterday I got given 3 Aylesbury ducks and a drake, a call duck and 3 cayugas (sp?) I let Mallows have the 3 I can't spell.
I also got given 12 cockerels and after dispatching one of them all by myself I now have it cooking gently on my fire and by gods it smells gert lush :yum: :yum:


So I did it, every stage and didn't wimp out of any of it :thumbsup:

Carl, I don't mind eating rabbit, as long as it had space to live a good life 1st ;)
As for tips, I would say decide and just DO it!


At night is easier, and I use an air rifle as I know I can't mess it up. I bust my wrist badly as a young un and can't grip that well :-\
the one I have just et was a 3 year old orpington. breasts were fab an the dogs ate enjoying the legs (raw) :yum: :yum: :yum:

Gently picked him up, took him out of earshot of the others, held him by the legs so his head was on the floor and a pellet between the eye and ear. obligatory prayer of thanks and then as soon as the flapping stopped I prepped him.


He was scrumptious :yum:
