I'm a city girl, so it was a little difficult for me at first, but now that we have raised them for almost 10 years it doesn't bother me at all. (Mean, calloused person that I am!) Mind you, I haven't actually been called upon to actually cut their heads off (sorry if that's too graphic for anyone...), as the boys really like to do that, but I'm a pretty fast "gutter," if I do say so myself!<br /><br />The first few years we plucked them "by hand," but for the last several years we have been able to use a chicken plucker which *really* speeds up the process! <br /><br />I am so grateful to be able to have such good organic meat and to know how it was handled in processing, etc. <br /><br />We're going to be raising another 50 in a few weeks to tide us over the winter.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10732627354378250003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866659982820371097.post-182718901553572472009-08-29T10:07:15.893-05:002009-08-29T10:07:15.893-05:00Do you all butcher them yourselves?

Your chicks and seedlings, the hymns, and your thoughts about desiring the milk of the Word- all refreshing and encouraging.<BR/>Have a wonderful rest-of-the-week!John and Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003995927332943576noreply@blogger.com
