This was my first experience with Cornish Crosses. They are massive birds.

Good video!

Ok, I'm not the mommy. I'm the human who humanely raised four meat birds. The meat birds were healthy, happy, free ranging fatties that made it to nine weeks without collapsing. The meat birds have been tasted by my dog. Moodusnewchick will now talk in third person as she sets a goal for herself: Try the chicken by 9pm tonight.

I was holding one of the other meat birds while filming it, so that was probably the noise, or it was that annoying duck that never shuts up

Had to be background noise. Even with our status as newbies with the axe, I have yet to hear anything from a bird on a stump. In fact, I think when we place the head and pull the body snug, I don't think they make noise after that point.

No, they didn't make any noise at all, not even a screech. Maybe they're in shock? Or the way were holding the head prevents them from making any noise.

A few tasty meals!! Lots of meat, I didn't weigh anything though.

BTW, I know this is vain of me, but anyway...I detest the pic of Chickenwing/Drumlette spraying down the table...what the heck look is that on my face AND why does my behind have to be so large! Ugh.

You look very grossed out in that pic
