It takes me two hours, but since DH does the kill and tosses the trash with feathers, etc. and puts away the outside stuff, maybe add another 15 minutes. But literally, the last hour I'm picking at every minute pin feather. Partly because most of the birds I process have dark feathers, but most because I'm OCD. I'm sure we've all eaten LOTS of pin feathers in store bought birds without even knowing it.
I know on my recent trip to the UK, I swear there were still some major feathers left in the chicken parts I bought at Tesco's.
I skin the birds I process because the dark pin feathers and usually the meat bees find me too quickly to do anything else.
As for pin feathers, I guess we probably don't see the white ones that much in store bought chicken. But, I still can't bring myself to eat Aidells chicken apple sausage even after 3 years. I cut into one and found a whole, white body feather
inside the sausage.
