Oh HELL NO! This bird had other ideas she latched on an really pinched the shit out of my thumb, and I pulled back and I am laughing and cussing and going ow fuck shit that hurt and my dad's laughing and is all like what did you expect, they can have mighty powerful beaks, and I said well I was expecting a love nip not a chomp down hard.


The bird won this round But just wait, one day I'll sneek up on her when she least expects it or something lol.

Indeed, turkeys LOVE to peck, peck, peck, and like chickens, are carnivorous little buggers. Personally, I wouldn't let either of them near any fresh wounds I had, but apparently you're much braver than I am!

The side of the thumb I let her bite wasn't injured, the sore spot was on the inside of the thumb and I would never let her near the blistered side.

Oh, so now it's sore where it once wasn't. At least the thumb is pain balanced now.

means what it sounds like...

Yepper, Aries, it's exactly what it sounds like, and it's actually necessary, to ensure they do not cannibalize each other in close quarters. No one wants to buy a torn up turkey for Thanksgiving. And once turkeys/chickens taste the blood/meat of another, like a pack of hyenas, they'll take him down like a duck on a June Bug and have the bones picked clean w/in the hour. Not a pretty sight.

You'd grab a turkey/chicken around the body, secure its wings, stick it under your non-dominant arm, walk it up to the machine (with electrically heated blades), and with your dominant hand, hold it's head and stick its beak into it, and then step on the foot pedal. This brings the two blades together over the beak, simultaneously cutting and cauterizing the beak. One tends to trim 1/3 of the beak off, which blunts it. Turkeys have very sharp beaks, and can do much damage to each other. Another reason for debeaking/beak trimming, is the longer the upper & lower beaks grow, the more uneven/distorted they might become, which intereferes with efficient eating, which equals loss of weight and overall health, which means less market weight, which means less profit. I remember the smell of burning beak quite distinctly, but you get used to it.

The one I used looked quite similar to this one:

Might give you nightmares. Actually it's pretty interesting and incredibly easy, but would gross out most folks who are used to getting their meat in the supermarket.

Yepper, and screw their back up, as well. They do put on weight pretty darned fast.

Dayuum, hard as it was, I miss all those days. It's good to know how to raise, kill and fabricate your own. May come in handy one day, if the SH'sTF. Then I'll be everybody's best friend!

It's more offensive to animal activists that know better.

oh and my Grandmother had a farm. Til she became vegan at 45 and lived to be 97. Also, entirely no such thing as organic or humane farming, more lies.

Not to people that know how to survive without killing sentient beings. Like me.

It doesn't "turn my tummy", I've hunted, killed and
butchered birds and rabbits for food...
I've operated on myself for crying out loud...
I've put down animals to put them out of misery...

One thing I haven't done is mutilate animals for
money, and then brag about it...
congratulations.
