Slaughter Time
The dreaded day has arrived and I am going to get my first lesson of living on a farm. Remember I am a city gal and never experienced slaughtering a chicken before. My education continues. Last night after our 35 young chickens went in to the hen house, we raided the “Roos”. We gathered 11 and put them in a Doberman sized cage. Didn’t feed them but gave them water. (no bread either)
This morning we spent getting the cleaning station all set up with needed equipment. Shari and I will take care of the outside work, and mom will take care of the inside part. Bev is going to be hiding, otherwise she said she wouldn’t be able to eat them.
Needless to say, there will be no pictures of this adventure. Those of you who have experienced this sometime in your life will know what is involved.
Just another part of farm life I guess. An education and new experience to say the least.
