Oh, I'm glad your mom watched! Too bad she's more squeamish than mine!
The wet feathers put off a very mild smell. Total non issue for me, who has worked in nasty poultry plants.
Don't forget a yogurt container (or similar) of soapy water to rinse your hands, and a container of ice water for the livers!
And a hose too. I made a kill cone out of a one gallon water bottle and it works great. Even the big birds fit.
I like to think of them going docile as a nice transition to the killing cone part. Plus only a few bite me when upside down! Tell that mother of yours to cowgirl up with you just like mine did.
It's funny because my mom's family all know what to do with a chicken when it's time to process but she never did it. My grandmother on my father's side told me of the day she had to kill a chicken herself (usually The Men did it for her, and she processed). My mom is very happy to buy her food and probably considers it a rise in status or something. And then her daughter (me) gets it in her head to raise meat guineas and drags her into it, lol!
