Well, we're on a break now. After getting the water heated and everything setup, I think we began killing the chickens at about 9 or 9:30. It's 11:30 now and we have only gotten 2 chickens done! The kills went swiftly, but plucking was tedious and we also had trouble locating certain organs when eviscerating. I'm still unsure if I got the crop out. But now that we are done with those two, they do look pretty decent. I hope we did everything right. I'm feeling a little discouraged because of how slow we are going and because I cut something yucky open near the vent that smelled, and also bursted the bile duct (but luckily I pulled the bird away quick enough so none got on it). Lots of rookie mistakes going on here, but I guess we are rookies. Our friend who was supposed to help us wasn't able to make it today.
