I plucked the possum last night and skinned it this morning before putting it into the "chicken food" crockpot. This'll provide them with protein for at least a week or so. Waste nothing... So a win/win situation, a pest gotten rid of, and the chooks fed... And... another step into getting back to living off the land once more
