We processed 25 meaties this morning and it only took 3 1/2 hours. To some that may be a long time, but to us that was GREAT.
I have only processed 15 other chickens before total and the other three helpers had never processed any before. I think I'm ready for the next batch of 50 coming September 9th.
We had a good system I think. I dispatched the meatie, another person scalded and plucked ( love the whizbang plucker) and two others gutted and bagged them and put them in the refrigerator.
They finished out between 5 1/4 lbs and 6 lbs. They were 9 weeks old.
Not a bad day.
I we can do it, anyone can!
