Oh, and in terms of how much pressure I had to use, it wasn't too much. Definitely cleaner than, say, an axe. Unfortunately I managed to chip the blade because I cut off the wings with it (
) so I need to sharpen it before I try this again. Definitely not doing any more til spring either way—it's freezing out there.
I do the killing in the Garage and the rest in the kitchen. Last summer we got a new big sink and it helps a lot!
Well, that's one way to do it, lol. I brought it inside for the last rinse because I only had 2gal of rinse water out there... hose had frozen.
Bet that's nice. No garage here, I just cleared an area in the woods that was sufficiently away from the coop to not attract predators. That dog crate with the board on it was used as a table---worked well. I angled it away from me so I could rinse it without it all rolling back towards me. Bird was hung on tree with baling twine.
Nice setup!
Ha, yes, that would change things a lot. I can't think of a single person that I know in my town that doesn't at least hunt, if not raise their own beef/chicken/pork/etc. I've been the lone soft-hearted holdout until today.
It is great that you did it! It will be easier next time but now ever very easyHa, yes, that would change things a lot.

Nice pictures!
