So, today is the day. We have 7 cornish x that we are ready to process. I have never done this before, but I think I'm ready to try. I am going to bleed them out, skin them, and quarter them up into freezer bags.
These are my 6 year old son's chickens that we got from his kindergarten class (I know, who gives meat chickens to kindergartners, right). He has finally come to understand that these birds are designed for eating. We explained it all to him and he is ok with it, might even decide to come out and see the processing, but he has already decided that he will not be eating any of this chicken meat. HA!
So, I am off to the store to get trash bags and ice, then I'll start setting up for the big event this morning. I'll take some pics along the way. Wish me luck!
