I always thought yuppies were suburbanites that wore matching workout outfits....

It is pop in Nebraska.

Thank you! Yes I didn't plan on getting them, but I am really glad I did. This way we found the kinks and can work them out before I get larger numbers. I truely might look at Amazon and think about the table. DH talked to a woman who sold them, free-range chicken, and he got a serious case...

Store bought is easier. Just finished processing my 4 Cornish Cross. It went well in my limited opinion. I expected much more blood. I need to get bolder and learn to just pull the guts out, we also need sharper knives, and a higher table (I agree a fish cleaning station would be ideal.)...

No it have little faith in any animal. If a dog were to act agressive, I would put it down. If a horse would step on my head, my trust in it would quickly decrease. I do not fault them for keeping the horse, but I do not know that I would make the same choice.

Well they didn't really kill him, but yes I get what your saying (I figured Superman was a rooster)

Oh that really sucks

Thanks! That is what I wanted to do, let them watch, but I needed to be told it was ok. Thanks for all the good info. We are processing Sat, DH or my father is going to do the actual killing (I know I could, but if I don't have to I will let another surer hand do it)

Thank you lots of good tips, I will use. I have cleaned fish, watched deer and rabbits be processed, we also regularly take cows to be processed, but I have never had to do any of the actual work before. We will see how emotional I get, I do not know. My bigger concern is how much my girls see...

We only have 4 (I got them by mistake) but as I wanted to start raising meat birds this spring, I was going to aim for 50, this will be good experience. They might have just got a reprieve, mom may not come out until Sat. But yes I know it is going to be a sad day, but I agree very worthwhile.

I will remember that.

Processing day today. I have already kept the birds too long. It will be my first time, but I enlisted my mom (a farm girl) who has helped do it alot. Hope it warms up a tad bit.....

sitting here wondering if you have tried it...:D
