Butchered my first chicken/animal

[humblehillsfarm]

I have some Cornish x that we are processing next weekend. First time I’ve ever done anything like this. Unfortunately I found one that couldn’t walk today so I had an unexpected dinner.

I grew every single component of this meal. Potatoes, green beans, herbs, and of course, the chicken. Other than making vegetarian dishes, I have never been able to do something like this so it feels very rewarding!

Well done - no pun intended.

Nice job! food grown by you on your property is the best!

Good job!

It actually was a little well done but still well seasoned!


I should add that I felt really proud of myself for not crying!!! I’ve cried so much over my laying hens, but this experience was different.

Great job!! Looks delicious!

A processed chicken meets a much more peaceful and respectful end than a laying hen dead to predators or illness. Great work on a job well done!

Congrats! Our first was just three weeks back or so. It is deeply satisfying to sit down to a meal you are totally responsible for. Honestly, a bit envious. Our property isn't there yet. But you sat down to the end goal.
