I don't see why you couldn't do it in your back yard. As long as you clean it up, how would the neighbor know? Unless there are no fences? I'm pretty much on my own when it comes to slaughter time so my slaughters are spread out pretty far. If I feel up to it, I'll take out one bird and then bring him inside to process. I've gotten my time down to about 45 minutes from the time I start wetting the feathers for plucking. Then depending on how tired I am, I'll go get another one or just wait til the next night.I feel like I have farming in my blood, though I've lived in the city my whole life. I've always wanted to move to the country, but circumstances were never on my side. I can slaughter an animal, I've done so before, but as stated below, I'm a backyarder who has touchy neighbors. I'm trying to come up with a solution so that I could slaughter somewhere. Getting someone to let me, is another thing
