Just found out that next year after raising the red rangers, I will have do all the butchering myself. For those who don't know, I'm getting 8-10 of them so that should give you an idea. We currently don't have a killing cone to use but I will be getting one soon. I will also have to do the processing myself.
You might be wondering why I will have to everything by myself. Normally my dad helps with this but he's starting to get back pain that is currently barely manageable and prevents him from doing much. My older brother and younger brother stay clear of anything that has to do with the flock and our mother can't handle the sight of it. Everyone actually told me that I won't be able to do it and should not bother buying the chicks next year.
I plan on proving them wrong.
Does anyone do butchering and processing themselves??
Do you have tips to share?
