mobile hen slaughter

I thought I'd pass on info for a guy that does mobile hen slaughter in the valley. His name is Trev, #604-808-2161. For several birds, he charges $2/bird, but if only 4, he charges $10 for all and asks that you go to Langley (not very mobile, I guess). He will depluck and remove the innards, the head and feet. Cooling containers with cold water are needed for a couple hours before freezing.See More

"Hi Alyssa, I have a rabbit hutch that could go outside to put the little ones in during the day, if that would help you would have to come get it though...."

Jean Kindratsky replied to Vicky's discussion Diatomaceous earth for worms? in the group Chicken Coop Co-ops
"Vicky, We've also used cayenne powder in the feed along with cider vinegar in the water and this seemed to work. It creates a stomach environment that is unfriendly to worms without harming the hens."

Hi Vicky,

We had a great Seed Saving workshop last Saturday (over 30 people!), and now are starting to talk about forming seed saving collectives in different villages. A few people from Transition Cedar Cottage attended, so it looks like TCC might be a good bet for one of the 1st ones.

Do you think you might be interested in participating?

We're also looking at following up with a full day workshop, perhaps in February.

Cheers,
Ross

Food

Local, organic, rural, and/or urban, food production is a mainstay of life, and doing it well leads to wellness. From farm to kitchen, discussions relating to food--and the community arising around it--belong here.

59 discussions

Transportation

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

5 discussions

Housing

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
