So I have been raising chickens for a couple yrs now (layers) and I'm planning on getting 25 meat birds (cornishX) for some meat. I deffinately don't have a problem killing animals (not saying i like doing it, but I hunt and trap so I do it all the time) But my question comes in is really what kind of setup do you all have? for slaughtering them and cleaning them. Got any pictures to share?
I was thinking about making some cones on a stand for them to bleed and not squirm around too much. But I have no clue how i plan on plucking their feathers.... I don't want to invest in a feather plucker just yet and I really dont know a good way other then by hand.
after i boil them down and soften the skin can you use like a metal rust removal brush to take feathers off? or how do yall reccomend it other then by hand and a feather plucker?
Lemme know what ya think and if you can post some pictures please do they will help!
