About 6 months ago I got a small shipment of hatchery chicks. My favorite one (an EE) ended up being a Roo - of course! I live in a rural residential neighborhood, so I ended up giving him to my sister who lives in the sticks.
Since then, my sister has gotten a new flock of chicks and my Roo is being a big time bully. The plan was to eventually butcher him, but now the date has been set. Thanks to Frugal's EXCELLENT picture tutorial, I will be trying my hand at processing a chicken for the first time this saturday. Any pointers/tips I should know before hand?
Here's a pic of the bully:
And apparently he likes to go after my oldest niece.
