Who slaughters their chickens????

[sara]

I'm going to find out if I can butcher my meaties soon. I may have someone else do the deed, then I'll do the plucking and all. :|

Not to change the topic or anything, but has anyone gone troll fishing lately?

Yummy, I love troll

Yup, chickens, quail, ducks, rabbits, deer, fish etc. Do I love my chickens, not the ones I kill, I know they are meat right from the start and I don't let myself think any other way. Got two nice chicks in the brooder now, I know they are cockrels and as soon as I did know they became possible meat, unless I need another roo later on.

i taught myself because i wasn't about to pay 1.85 each without a bag. i really enjoy it. it's relaxing and makes me feel good to see the project through start to finish.

my children are learning an invaluable lesson. how, where and what's of food.

it's not for everyone, but it works for us.

We butcher our own chickens and turkeys. 50 birds in June but usually 25 in two weekends. Turkeys are usually done the first week in Nov.Myself, DH and the daughters. Sometimes the boyfriends as well.

question to the OP .... so do you process your own birds or not?, 1 post ya said no way!! other post ya said ya do??,, is your whole life this confusing also??

 

[Daycare Mom]

We do our own....12 more tomorrow morning! Gotta love those meaties! The plucking is the worst part..takes so long!

Yes, we do the roosters and meat chicken.
We love our birds too and they had a good life.

 

[ChickenToes]

Yes, we butcher our extra roosters. We do it for the same reasons everyone else does - we know the animals were treated well, fed well, and given a good life.

I'll never be able to eat store-bought chicken again.

I love troll as well but I find it a little gamey and tough sometimes. How do you cook yours?

personally, i do that twirly thing first so their hair stands up in a dairy queen do and then boil. after the meat starts falling of the bone, throw it on the bbq and douse with sauce. oh, yeah, that's good eatin'.
