Your farmhand is pretty cute. You go with the turkeys! I plan to buy my own little Mr. Drumstick this year, because I've done the math on feed and wear and tear. No, thank you!

But: can I scare you for a minute? 1. you only need about 2-3" of water in the bottom 2. your heating instructions are fine 3. never remove the weight 4. just let the pot cool so the jars come back to normal pressure. Coming to pressure takes about 20 mins or so if you're in a hurry to get a 2nd batch going. I just leave the thing on the stove--overnight even--and go about my business. And I stick with food names for my edible birds too! Chicken Patty, The Colonel, and Thanksgiving Dinner are walking around outside right now. Don’t let pressure canners scare you!
