Chicken Butchering Fall 2010

Two weeks ago, we had our fall butchering day. Eric's 8 week project was completed!
With our friends, the Kroekers, we took our 125 chickens to another friend's butchering cart.
It went very smoothly, no accidents or problems besides a few bile bursts-Yuck!
We had a chicken this week that Mom salt-brined and seasoned, and was it ever tasty!
Now, we can take a chicken break until Spring!!!!
