One week closer to D-day
Had an absolute disaster this morning. After that monsoon last night, the roof collapsed on the pen. The tarp on top held water and the weight of it sent 2 full sheets of expanded metal crashing down inside the pen. Problem was, the way it fell I couldn't get inside the pen to move it, or get to the chickens which were trapped in one corner. Called a buddy who hadn't left for work yet and he came over to give me a hand. One of the birds was doing the one-legged boat paddle as i guess the metal hit it in the leg. We got it squared away and I got that chicken plucked and in the fridge. Cooked it for dinner tonight. I must say, I was quite amazed how much meat is on a 5 week old meat bird and how damn good it is. if the remaining 13 make it to 8 weeks, my family is in for some fine dining
Cant wait to see the cost break down. We got layer this year but hopefully next i will be doing the meat bird thing.
Man, I wish I had some property to do this. Them chickens are looking good!
