Processing my first chicken ~Pictures added~

I don't think I'll ever get "use" to it... but I don't think a person should EVER like ending an animals life.

Thank you!

Here it is.. all cooked. The meat is pretty good. It's raised right and organic.

ah that's a little overcooked wasn't it?

That actually looks disgusting. How do you get it plucked better?

the plucking is the easy part the hard part is scalding it so you can pluck it...once you have the scalding correct all it takes to pluck one is to rub your hand against the lay of the feathers. I can pluck one in about a minute if it is scalded correctly.

Nope... just Silkie skin.

I guess we could have plucked it better... but we all make mistakes on our first try.

He was a Silkie cross (what's why his skin is darker).

Oh.. one more thing to add that I forgot...

There is still some feathers on him because we don't eat the skin. We took all of the skin off.
