Well, we finally finished butchering our 96 buff roos yesterday. It was a chore but actually went smoothly. My question is: We dipped them in 145-150 degree water with a few drops of dish soap in it, hosed off the birds after plucking , kept a bucket of bleach water handy for continually washing off the work tables and hosed them off. Washed the chickens with the hose after gutting and put them in a cooler full of ice water after. Is this getting the chickens clean enough? They looked nice and pretty just like you get from the store but I am concerned that we should have dipped them in some kind of solution to clean the skin better. Did we do OK? or should I be concerned that they are not clean. Thanks
