Chicken soak info needed

[Ken Hill]

I take to heart everything yall post, so I grabbed up a few chickens to further my bowl turning endeavors.

I know about using DNAsoaking, but need enlightenment on the addition of the chicken. For a test run, I have a roughout in the coop with him...will post further test images shortly.

BTW...his name is Jake:D

I also wasnt sure about drying blanks, so I have a test blank being soaked by a chick as well....more evaluation to follow.

I'm no expert on turning, or finishing, but I do know chickens...and Jake does not look happy, nor do the chicks.:(

[Kathy Marshall]

David's the expert on the chicken soak thing, but I do know that a chicken with a name or cute little chicks are ineligible for use with the chicken schmaltz method.

This is Ken in Idaho.......looking down.......shaking his head.......:confused::rolleyes::eek:

It got a duck soak before turning!

Mickey, those birds are very content. Most of them follow me around like puppy dogs. I free range but right now I have a mating pair of Red Tail Hawks on premisis.....

Kathy, the chicks have no names.....but will, however the next batch of meaties is due any day and they dont get names:o Unless you consider "Broiler and Fryer" names assigned to the flocks! I wonder what wood goes with a 5 pound Cornish Rock LOL!

[Lee Koepke]

I hope you took accurate weight measurements, have a sister bowl in a plain brown wrapper as a control, all complete with a complicated graph ..... or at the very least pics of the omelette's

This is just shameless!!!:eek: Using poor, helpless Easter chicks for your own selfish interests!:mad: Ken, I can understand the use of adult chickens - they can make decisions on their own - but, chicks?!?!:rolleyes: I am horrified!!!:p

And, besides, as I understand the concept, one must use free range chickens - specifically from the free range chicken farms in which I bought up stock upon the disclosure by Hart of the secret formula!:cool::D

[Faust M. Ruggiero]

That's a DNA soak you need for those blanks Ken, not an ammonia bath. If course, it you feed those chicks a bit of grain alcohol, they might further distill it into DNA. Either way, I believe you give the term "spalted" some new meaning.
Happy Easter

faustFaust, I believe the term is s-poulted!!

[Ken Hill]

Haha, if there is a way to make cheap DNA then i'm good! We only put the birds on "Shine" the week before we butcher:p

I'm figuring for every 5 turning blanks sold, 1 poult gets included:D

[Dennis Simmons]

I see David has not responded, he must be out trying to get the buzzards away, from his wood shed :P

[Curt Fuller]

Ok, I've been following this whole chicken thing with just a smidgeon of doubt. So I decided to consult the experts.......
The Colonel 192680
and Old Man Tyson 192679.
They've been around a while and they have the credentials to back up their opinion192678


And they're telling me that this whole chicken thing is the most cockeyed crazy story they've ever heard!

[David DeCristoforo]

Sorry... hiding out in Nevada. Be back next week. But I'm not takin' the rap for this. I was very clear about not using caged chickens. You don't pay attention...you're on your own...

[bob svoboda]

Was going to comment but these posts got me hungry....gotta go.

[Roger Chandler]

I did not have chickens, but last evening I made some Turkey schmaltz....:eek:.......do you think it will work the same??

[Chip Sutherland]

I am soooo confused.

[Cathy Schaewe]

Hm. MY easter eggs had no schmaltz. Obviously they weren't free range chickens. Or something.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

I'd suggest leaning really heavily on "Or something!":eek:

BTW...I am the current president of "STCFTS".......and I really object to this thread, topic and inhumane treatment of caged and free range chickens, turkeys and ducks....

[Cathy Schaewe]

BTW...I am the current president of "STCFTS"......

The number of things that come to mind for that acronym .... I'd better just go to bed!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Its a lttle known organization "Save The Chickens From The Smaltz".....:rolleyes:

Ok, help me out here. I thought chickens liked schmaltz. (or however you spell it.)

You know, chickens go with schmaltz like .... well, anyway...

[Ken Fitzgerald]

You mean I formed an organization to save the chickens from the wrong thing?:confused::eek: Woe is me!:rolleyes:

[Ed Morgano]

I'm really confused....I thought this was the turners forum.

[Bill Wyko]

Ken, I'm one of the founding members of B.O.O.S.A. (Benevolent Order Of Smart Asses):D but this takes the cake. I'm really looking forward to the future of this thread.

Ever hear of a rotisserie (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7ACGW_enUS374US374&sa=X&ei=7za1TaHrMMa2tgfC1oDqDg&ved=0CCQQvwUoAQ&q=rotisserie&spell=1)?:eek:

[Ken Hill]

Btw, went to pick up a new kid goat yesterday and got to chatting with the owner. He was commenting on how he had just made a chicken plucker....and used a shopsmith lathe to turn it:eek:

Faust, I believe the term is s-poulted!!
That was a really fowl joke, John...
