Here's a bit of a pictorial of the description I wrote up yesterday. May help to visualize what happened. Or it may be more than you wanted to see...

| That's actually me dunking the bird to loosen the feathers. Oliver on the left, Zane on the right. |

Zane, plucking a chicken.
If you click on the picture, it'll make it bigger and easier to see what he's doing. |

Orrin, butchering a chicken on the first day. We used the table
on the tent trailer as the butchering station. |
 |
Orrin, butchering the very last chicken. It's not that he enjoyed doing it,
but he was sure happy that he was almost done. |
I forgot to mention last night that we ate our first chicken for dinner yesterday. The first bite was a challenge, I guess because the association of butchering them was so recent. It was pretty tasty, though, and leftovers were even easier to eat today. I guess it is just something we will get used to, as we have no plans of becoming vegetarian!

And the main course last night. A nice looking chicken, spiced and lemoned up
and ready for the oven. |
