What to do with extra roos?

[Mrs. K]

I use a defeathering head that attaches to a drill.

I also skin mine, so much faster. I don't have to wait for water to boil, nor deal with feathers everywhere. A little snip at the skin at the pointy part where both halves of the breast meet and then a firm grip and pull the skin off of the meat. I also carve the meat off of the carcass bones rather than clean and freeze the bird whole. It's important to note that I'm not de-boning the bird, I'm merely cutting the quarters off of the carcass. This greatly reduces my processing time and since I live alone and am only cooking for one, makes my meal preparations easier too. When done, my bird is processed into two thigh with drumsticks portions and two breast with wing portions. I leave the back and neck on the carcass, then open the carcass to remove the entrails and grab the bits that I enjoy (heart & liver) then boil the bones to make stock that I freeze in one cup portions (I use left over cake frosting containers for this). I bury the skin, feathers and entrails in a four foot deep hole in the back yard that I had dug for this purpose. After about a month, the contents of the hole decompose sufficiently that I can reuse the hole and don't suffer from the stench of the remains.
