It went well! I am going to post the results once he is done resting in the fridge, which will be later today!

My large Black Copper Maran was butchered on Saturday the 22nd. He was frozen today, Monday the 24th.

The rooster was 4lb 7.4oz before processing. After processing, the yield was 2lb 15.2oz carcass and 7.4oz, equalling 3lb 4oz overall yield.

I use a small kitchen scale to weigh mine. I had a hang scale but its got damaged some how.
