Well the time came to process the chickens and so we joined Mama, Daddy, Nathan and Mandy at the farm yesterday. All in all it is not a hard process just a bit time consuming is all (there were 19 in all). We slaughtered and then cleaned the chickens (inside and out). It was Daddy, Nathan, Rob and Caleb on slaughter duty and the rest of us on “cleaning” duty. We also found some time to do some weeding – what fun! We also got to do some harvesting – much better.
Here are the pictures of the process – if you are squirmish I would suggest you just skip this part. Catching the chickens.
They hung the chickens, broke their necks and then chopped off the head. It was Caleb’s job to get rid of the blood.
Katie and Mandy did a lot of plucking!
Mama cleaning them up! I helped but almost threw up with each and everyone that I cleaned – very stinky insides!
