My neighbor used to process my birds for me, I'd give her x-number of birds out of the flock of x-number of birds each time she would do this for me. I expected her to take the finest, fattest birds for her labor, as that was only good and right. She often invited me to come "help" (learn), and one day (several days) I took her up on this offer. I am now confident and competent to do this final step on my road to self-sufficient poultry production for my family.
Baby steps towards that end, and only move forward on this process when you're good and ready to. Don't feel bullied to speed through your process of coming to terms with this, nor of ever reaching the ability to process your own meat. For some, it's just not an attainable goal, so don't beat yourself up about it.
