thank you scott, I loved what you said about how we should pause a moment before the kill. My dad really respected all life. he liked animals more than people and so I was taught they die to keep us alive like you said. We are teaching our son this and hope to not be saying one thing and then doing another. hard to put your money where you moth is you know... I will begin saving for a chicken plucker or see if we can rent one. also I will try to get trafic comes or save the big bleach jugs. good to know about the needing to bleed them out quick. my friend one time was out on her grandma's farm and was told to go wring a chickens neck for dinner, she had seen grandma do this in the past so she went out and was out there for a bit when grandma came out all the chickens were limping becuse she had grabed them by the feet not the head and broke many of there legs so many had to be killed. needless to say they spent the rest of the vaction time canning chicken. I think I am tramatizing myself before I even try to butcher them. I will just pray and study how to do it the quickestway and have my hubby and neighbor here and our son so he realizes why we get upset about wasting food. thank you for the feed back.. I really believe we are in a changing time and need to learn how to live more off the land and less off our society. I really want a chicken plucker thoes look very handy.
