[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3388209, member: 15054"] What a chore!!! I hit Craigslist and OfferUP often and I got 125 FREE Laying hens all less than 2 years old. Some were just 6 months old. Plan was to eat them all. I ended up selling 1/2 of them for 5 bucks each gave the other 1/2 to a buddy which I called and asked if he wanted free hens and we used his truck. Made a chicken wire top wood framed cover for the bed of his truck and tossed them in. I skin my chickens and ducks. I hate plucking. I have friends that eat the chicken feet. Your chickens looked very clean Feet and all. Great job there!!! Those birds take up a lot of freezer space for sure. My chickens have a pen with a white corrugated plastic/pvc top which does not let heat through. I also have insulated panels on the west side to keep summer heat from cooking the pen. 7 foot tall pen. I have old steel coffee cans screwed to a board and open on the top that I put the feed into. They can't scratch the feed out every piece gets eaten. If they can scratch or dig and toss with their heads they will do it. Sucks you lost some to the heat. I think you did very well and you know where the birds have been. PM sent! [/QUOTE]
