I process by using a kill cone that is pictures and I cut both sides of the neck right above the earlobe. The rooster will within about 5 seconds pass out due to loss of blood pressure and will die within around 10-15 seconds. I catch the blood in my hunting sled that has hay inside it. Once all the birds have been processed. The blood and any offal I have that I don't eat is buried in the yard to decompose and acts as a nutrient source for the plants that I plant in the yard. For how I process. I start by removing the feet to the joint of the leg bone. Once that is done I turn the bird around and slice vertically up the neck and pull the neck out and then detach the windpipe and the esophogas from the neck skin. I use the esophogas to find the crop and pull that free of the skin and breast meat. then I cut that out (esophogas, crop and windpipe) I cut the excess skin off the neck and remove the chicken neck bagging it for later. Then I turn the bird around and do a small horizontal cut at the top of the abdominal cavity to make a hole into it. I stick my fingers in to make sure the organs are moved aside and then continue cutting around making an upside down U shape to the pelvic bones. Then I have room to pull the organs out. I save the gizzard, heart, lungs, kidneys, feet, neck, and testicles. Some I use in making stock some I feed to my dogs.

I didn’t realize I was being judged on articles. I just wanted info out that happened to my chicken (that’s my chicken in the picture), thought it might be helpful to someone else.

Glad none of your babies have gotten it yet! I was scared to death when I found out my ducks had it but they were healed in no time. If you ever find that one of you ducks has it and you have any Q's I would love to answer them!

Thank you, friend!

Thankyou for the lovely review!

Thanks for reviewing the article.
The wonders of digital photography. If you take enough picture eventually you'll get a decent one:;
