I know we're not very far removed from the family farm sustainable lifestyle - but how quickly we all forget, as we drive through to get our fast food, and shop for prepared chickens at the local grocery store. Thank you for this.<br />-ReviRevihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03118538206780122093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-25366828583574737752012-10-10T15:20:02.414-05:002012-10-10T15:20:02.414-05:00You did a beautiful job! and yes! you did it the &...You did a beautiful job! and yes! you did it the "old fashioned" way! now you have even more skills as a homesteader! I love it that you decided to skin them instead of plucking, might try that next year!

No machines, plucked by hand. Some sort of hot water cold water bath and then pluck.<br />I was thankful that they pass out when you hold them upside down. Made the slaughter part so much easier.<br />Ok, I'll stop now. I do enjoy your blog, though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-43208465556714751912012-09-24T22:02:33.014-05:002012-09-24T22:02:33.014-05:00Can I just say I am majorly impressed! This is so...Can I just say I am majorly impressed! This is some major league stuff you have taken on. I remember hearing stories about my great-grandmother (a widow) who could kill and pluck a chicken by herself, no problem. It's something many of us just take for granted. Bravo to you!!<br /><br />LynnLynn Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009540811451983030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-6607182286568896402012-09-24T20:00:15.698-05:002012-09-24T20:00:15.698-05:00I'm on my feet clapping!

Wow, what a long day, but it does sound like you made good time. What a team you two are! Can't wait to hear more and go check the other links for any parts of the story I might not have read yet.

I imagine the more you do, the quicker it goes just as anything is. Sorry the plucker didn't work as well as you hoped, but nothing is a fail when you are willing to try and learn from it. Wow! Love my pumpkins!!

When commercial meats are processed, they inject it with sodium and of course are fed an unhealthy diet etc. When you process yourself, you bypass the junk that most add to the meats. I hope to double our amount next year.Pioneer Woman at Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533698959389851926noreply@blogger.com
