we just processed 5 roos.

we have a few questions-
why did the dark feathers leave a goo in the holes?
and is it neccesary to get it all out?

Awesome post. I have always wondered how to properly kill and clean a chicken. It's a little graphic but hey that's how it's done! Thanks for the step by step process.

Great posting. I'll be "doing the deal" on 5 White Leghorn roosters tomorrow. This will come in handy.

Frugal... Amazing post! This is what I refered to for my first few chickens. Thanks. You made a daunting task much easier. I made the chicken stock, smells so yummy. Mine never got gelatinous, any idea why? Maybe not enough feet in it? Also, I was wondering, what do you use the chicken heads for? Thought about saving mine but wasn't sure what for, other than dog food. Blessings...

My broth did finally get thick, it just had to sit longer.

We, too, used this for the "how to" on butchering roos. After 12 down (and a sore, aching back) we declare a success!

Tomorrow is chicken stock day. 24 feet should make a good stock! And boy was it amazing to see what some of the roos eat. One of the roos ate a marble (not sure where that came from

We don't have kids and neither of us play marbles) and another roo had sticks and irrigation drip tube in his gizzard.

I think tomorrow may include finding out which trees have missing drip tube.

The rest were "normal"...including the mean one, who had a gizzard full of feathers.
