my cornish X are about 6 weeks now and i keep thinking of how to process them.
is it easier to bleed than to butcher with an ax.
My parents are exited to come over and help but I don't want them to end up doing all the dirty work.
These are my chickens and I don't want them to feel like they are still taking care of me. Because knowing them they would come back to me one day and tell me all about how I got chickens and couldn't even butcher them myself. (they still tease me about bringing my hair dryer on a camping trip like a whole decade ago, they had electricity so why not Right?)
I bought an ax but Its pretty big for me, Im like 5 feet tall. Small build. would i be better off getting a hatchet or bleed them? I can use my feed bags to help with the bleeding but i have no idea where i would hang them and so on...(and how long to hang them too)
Seems like an easier set up as far as props go, to use the ax. im just afraid to miss
