Chickens for bug control and food recycling.

They sell hand held ones. It's a drill bit with 4 or 5 of the 'fingers' attached. the drill spins the fingers, the feathers come off.
Not expensive at all.

I got one of those and it was worthless. Now I just skin the birds.

Should have a broody hatch tomorrow...not a large one, if they make it at all.

That's what I do too but after five of them I am pretty much through for the day unless I can get my sons to help. Pulling skins of old boys is so tough but the young ones much easier.

Not relative to the thread but I drove past this house today and saw a yard full of all different kinds of lilies...I can't imagine how many years it would take to fill a yard this size with lilies, but it was breathtaking!

Is your flower bed BTE garden?

Yes, though never done as deeply as in the garden, I've seen some amazing results in the flower beds with the use of the wood chips. Completely different than what we were able to grow, which was pretty much nothing in this clay, ridge top soil.
