Accidently killed my favorite pet chicken today...

[marcym]

I'm an Iowa raised, corn fed farm woman. I once stepped on a banty Hamburg chick. It was not pretty. Our teenage girls STILL tease me about it. Sorry this happened to you.

You are honoring her life and giving it meaning. Have a great dinner! It's good these things happen some times...so we can be thankful for all we have in this life and what life is all about.

I salute your courage and compassion.

Sorry to hear that. A special toast would be a fitting tribute.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your favorite hen. Processing her for the table is a very good way to pay tribute to her, so her life will nourish your family's. ::::raising a glass to her, also:::::

Thanks again guys. I couldn't sleep last night. Surprised by how this has affected me. I'm getting soft as I age...

I've almost done that a bunch of times.

you will probably want to let the carcass rest for more than one day before cooking.

Only on this Chicken Forum would people be saddened by the loss of a pet chicken yet be thankful to be able to consume that chicken for dinner. I am the only one that sees a bit of ironic humor in that?

I didn't know that; thanks for the heads up. I was too tired to cook anyway...
