This is our first time with meat chickens. We raised turkeys a few years ago, and the butchering was a disaster. Since I'm trying to prevent another awful experience that would COMPLETELY turn my husband off to the idea of raising our own meat, i have tried to enlist as much help as possible. I have a very sweet friend that was raised on a farm, killing their own chickens. The thing is. .she doesn't bleed them out.. she just breaks their necks, waits for them to stop flapping and then hangs them by their necks and skins them from their head down, taking all the guts out at the same time. This is how her family has done it for decades. Should I be concerned without bleeding the chickens out?
