| Plucking Feathers |
Tonight we butchered our two roosters and a hen. The roosters were starting to crow a lot, which probably isn't aloud since we live in a Hamlet, and they didn't just crow early in the morning, but all day long! So Ben and I watched a You Tube video on how to butcher a chicken, and decided it looked pretty easy so we got started. I was scared it would be sad to watch the killing part, but it was okay ( Ben did that part) and once they were dead it was in Hannah's words " It looks just like food". So I plucked feathers and Ben took out the chickens insides, which was actually amazing to watch. The hen we butchered actually had different stages of eggs developing inside of her.
After we were done Ben put some on the BBQ and said the meat was a bit tough, so tomorrow I will try it in the crock pot and hopefully that helps. Quite an experience. Ben actually said he would do it again, and that it was a nice way to spend an evening. Must be a guy thing?
