Thanks for this lovely (?) tutorial as we may be doing the same thing with our rooster which was supposed to be a hen. The others are safe unless they stop laying . . . I wish my Grandma had had that handy-dandy de-featherer contraption because I remember picking out feathers - particularly those stubborn pin feathers.

I had been vegan ir vegetarian my entire life and hadn't even ate chicken yet though. :) We even built a PETA approved gas chamber for a more humane death.

You're absolutely right - with a lot of homesteading projects, learning by doing is VERY different than learning by books - although YouTube videos can be a fantastic resource for this kind of thing. We love your family, and really did have fun with you guys that day... looking forward to doing it again in the fall (now that you're seasoned chicken butchering veterans). -- Farmer Dan :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
