Poultry preservation thread (CW; deceased poultry)

CW; Preserved whole/parts of poultry and/or the progress.

My rooster passed away last month, he was the best rooster I’ve ever had. Absolutely broke my heart. So we decided to preserve his feet! I wanted to see everyone else’s experience with preserving so please share here!

Here’s the progress of Biscotti’s feet, they’re not quite ready. Been a little over a month but they’re not fully dehydrated yet so they’re going back into the salt for another week or two.

Interesting!

Are you just keeping them in salt? Is that how you dry them out?
I don't know.

Yes! The salt sucks out any liquids in it. As long as they don’t get wet after preserving they’re good to go!

This IS interesting. I'd like to learn how to skin a pelt like @MysteryChicken does and preserve Kong that way, but curious about other ideas... like their footprints are a pretty neat idea also.

Question.... What does CW stand for? Cartoon Network keeps coming to me...

Edit.. See, I'm not even in the right area code. Wrong channel !!

Cool!
We use borax when preserving stuff from birds we get while hunting. Such as pheasant tails or turkey fans.

I've got a how to video I gotta do a voice over on before posting. It's really long, so it will be in multiple parts.
