What made you happy today?

I got a solid night's sleep

Nothing made me unhappy. Does that count?

Counts big time.

Today was a beautiful day. Tomorrow and Sunday are supposed to be just as gorgeous.

THIS!!! First time one of my pullets jumped into my lap today...

It is finished. But question for anyone that has butchered, is it normal that there were feathers under the skin? And when I popped them, it was like oily feathers that came out? They were all over his body, wherever a feather shaft was. And we couldn't find the crop to remove it so we assumed it came out with the guts

Awesome! And yes that is normal on darker colored breeds. I equate that final plucking with popping blackheads

so you are saying that what made you happy today is that the butchering is finished? Im sorry but seeing the pics and hearing about it actually made me sad today. I know its a part of life and the food chain etc but seeing it ona 'what made you happy ' thread was unfortunate

Just keep scrolling. Butchering is a very large part of raising chickens for a lot of people. Obviously not for you, but I'm not sure it warranted a comment saying it made you sad.
