Butchering day. Started with the kill cone.


Headed to the scalder and the feather plucker. (I didn't save the video correctly, dammit!)

Iced them down and took them home for a nice final dress. Started saving the gizzards and hearts, so we'll see how those turn out.


The runt was just under 3lbs, but he was also only 6 weeks old. The big rooster was 6.5lbs dressed. The other hens were 5-6lbs each. Not bad for 8 weeks.
