Comment on New Poultry by cowgirljules

Thank you!

I don’t generally name them, although some of the ones that are around for a long time evolve names. And there’s Murray, Max’s rooster, who was named right away. My main roosters are named Red, Big Blue, Forty, and Pretty Boy. Some more don’t have names. The ducks will probably get some, as they’re pets.

There’s a whole class of naughty roosters that get named and then eaten, but those aren’t very nice names. Or roosters.

Love these pictures. Do you name them or s better not to on the ones that will be dinner?

Yes, five to a team, for this particular event anyway. Sporting Clays and Skeet may be different.

Ah, politics! I guess trap teams can only have 5 people, then? (I know not of the shotgun sports.)

Good for you for refusing to let the politics bullshit ruin the kids’ fun!

Comment on Chicken stock by cowgirljules

I’ve done it for just an hour too, and still do if I’m pressed for time, but it feels like I get more gelatin out of the bones if I do it longer. That may be coincidental to my having necks and feet to use, but it doesn’t hurt anything at least.

Wow, you cook under pressure for *two hours*? I make stock in my pressure cooker all the time, but I usually only cook it for about 40 minutes. What does the longer cooking time give you? Do you get more flavor that way?

Echoing that you’re not a failure just because the timing isn’t right.

Well, hell. The guy backed out of the one I really wanted to sell, and I am majorly second guessing myself on the other two. Guess they’ll be around for a little longer. Dog drama.
