Killing a Chicken

[PoultryChick]

I was wondering if anyone knew where you can find step by step pictures on killing chickens or turkey like what Buster did for skinning.

I am starting to wonder,,,, do people actually get stock, thinking they will save a buck or two, then wonder what to do with it after it's not so cute and fuzzy????

the original link posted show the butchering process, but not the killing and de-feathering.

this guide is an overall view of all the steps along with the suggested times for scalding the poultry.

Put your pointer and middle finger on either side of it's neck with your thumb against the head and flick your wrist,,, the bird will be on the ground and it's head in your hand.


It's that simple.
