INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

[BpDpFLUFFYBUTTS]

Iso butcher near Terre Haute, IN , having a hard time finding one , finally got a hold of one and he has a 10 bird minimum , and we have only 6 cayuga ducks we need butchered but would have to pay 55.00 for the 6 . Any help with a reasonable butcher around this area would greatly help

HOOSIERS! UNITE!! There are actually 2 older threads for Indiana. Lets get together and make this one active for all of our benefit! After a few confusing months of trying to contact someone to get on Indiana's thread, I've since found out The OP's just aren't active anymore.

This is for those of us that want a place to share local info, from breeders to processors. Food mills, veterinarians that will treat a chicken if necessary. Fun stuff like poultry shows, and just let off steam

if we need to! I started keeping fowl after being away from it almost 30 years. Some of this information was pretty hard to find where I am at, BYC has helped a lot.

I do not live near you, but have you considered doing it yourself? It took me several years to psychologically prepare myself into trying. (and also several Youtube videos) I had a farm-raised handyman who offered to teach me. Honestly the decision to process was the hardest part. He was a good mentor. It's easier to have someone with you to work, socialize, and keep your mood in check. After he passed away, I helped teach others. It's a good skill to know. I also understand that it's not for everyone. It's not easy. If killing were easy, we'd have much bigger problems.

We did some photoshoots with DS's fav hen.

Some were pretty silly.

Love her!! That's a breed I've always really wanted but just haven't had the right opportunity to get yet.

Just a heads up she has a weak prop toe.

Do you notice in all pics? She was standing funny in some because we were positioning her & clicking pics fast.

Much of her personality has to do with how she was raised. DS plays with her daily so she's very comfortable being handled and walking around the house. (She will follow him up and down the stairs with ease.) Her siblings went to my friend's house. Those Spitzies like to roam free and sleep in trees. They are not much for human interaction, but gorgeous yard beauty.


All imprinted on him as chicks, but one he decided to keep and shower with affection.

She's honestly not the prettiest Spitzhauben, but to him, she's perfect.

That could be it. Its nothing to worry about. I would just not have her first when it comes to breeding.
