Are you a chicken?

CAUTION IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH DO NOT WATCH THESE VIDEOS!!

Well today is the day to butcher our 12 chickens! That is good and bad, the good part about it is: we have 12 whole chickens in our freezer, but the bad part is that my mom and I have to pluck them. :(

Luckily my brothers are doing the gross part and I don't have to do that!

anyway, here is a step by step process on how to K*** a chicken:

1.  First thing you need to do is tie its feet up so you can have something to hold on to when it tries to run/fly away (and believe me it does) our chickens just lay there like they are waiting for a message or something. then you need to make sure your knife(s) are very sharp.  

2.  After the head is off you will need to let it bleed for a few minutes, 

3.  Next you will need to dunk the whole chicken in your boiling water for just a few minutes, then test to see if the feathers are ready to come out with ease, if they don't you will need to dunk the chicken again

4.  plucking: just take all of the feathers out,

5. Moving on to butchering!!!

Well I will just post pictures instead of describing this :)

6.  On to the plucking (well getting all of the little feathers out that they missed! This is what I do)

After all of the little tiny feathers are out it is time for packaging and freezing!

For packaging  we just use freezer paper and freezer tape, and label it!! and just put them in the freezer
