BIG BILL 95 Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 i try to rear something every year but this year i reared 2 geese but it turned out to be a waste of time, i got them from nearly day olds and got them to 9 and 11lb when i weighed them but one decided to hang itself on some wire while it was reaching for some leafs on a climber that was growing up wire, so i decided to cull the other at the same time, i then hung them in cellar for 2 days, when i started to pluck them they stank rotten , i hadnt gutted them straight away and they had started to go of as it was abit mild at the time but i thought they'd be ok, i wont make that mistake again , ive managed to get hold of a lump of venison from a fallow to put me on but would of preferred a nice goose, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brewman 1,190 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Haven't raised anything but getting a lamb delivered tomorrow then picking up a venison on Saturday both for the freezer so cutting them up but fancy rearing something for next year Bird wise even if it's only some quails.
