Use a cone it restrains them in the position that keeps them pretty much hypnotized. If you hold a chicken upside down by its feet it will petty much relax or go to a sort of hypnotized state.I am fairly positive that we will NEVER EVER EVER process birds on my property. Ever. It's not the bleeding that bothers me. It's the killing...lol. I'm pretty sure I would be a sobbing mess. Especially with the death flap thing.
*shudder*
Now my husband has no problem with it...and I'm pretty sure he could do it just fine. But I don't even want to risk having to see them flap. I just can't.
So we sent our last batch of boys over to the Mennonite neighbor. He was processing a bunch of his own birds and just added in our three. He has a handy chicken de-featherer thing, too. It did leave a few stubs on there though.
Which leads me to a question...
Hubby and I have long disputed the merits of eating chicken skin. I love me a nice piece of crispy skin. Hubby thinks it's entirely gross to eat the skin. Unsanitary. After getting back my home grown boys...and seeing the stubble...I'm kind of leaning that way right now, lol.
Eating the skin...yay or nay???

Love pig skin especailly when its really crispy. Never thought about Goat skin.... I suppose the "de-hairing" process is the same? Scald Scrape and blowtorch?i also eat pig skin and even goat skin when done om a spit!
I've been a vegetarian since I was 5 years old so i don't think I would be able to disbatch anything unless it was in pain. That being said I applaud you guys for having the strength to eat your own birds. It is very inspiring.![]()
Actually it just burns off on the spit.Love pig skin especailly when its really crispy. Never thought about Goat skin.... I suppose the "de-hairing" process is the same? Scald Scrape and blowtorch?
