Hairy chicken skin??

[anniebethj]

So I got all my chickens plucked - theres no feathers on them, but it seems like there is hair. Now I'm sure they are just some kind of really fine feather, but how the heck do I get them off?

Singe them off over your gas kitchen range or use a candle.

Singe them off. You can hold them over a gas stove burner (although it stinks up the house!), light a rolled up newspaper, or use a long-neck lighter... the kind you use to light the barbeque grill or a fireplace.

A propane torch also works wonders to singe them off.

Yeah, I'd go with a propane torch. My only problem with these is that everything I read about Cornish X's said that these hairs were "bred out of them." Riiiight. Most of them, maybe.
