I live on a small farm and grow our own chickens& eggs. I used to watch my mother butcher chickens by wringing their necks and then putting the headless body under a basket. I would watch that basket flopping around and cry my eyes out. I told my mama she was the cruelest woman in the whole world! Ha!! I'm a wimp. I like my meat but I'll leave the butchering to the pros or anyone I can't see kill the animals. You are 4 brave gals, I'll say that for you!<br />Blessings<br />Gmama JaneGmama Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02866486725742104875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677866446660565018.post-12803099477426583372011-05-27T18:13:32.239-07:002011-05-27T18:13:32.239-07:00I really appreciated this post.

I don't think that I could take care of the kill either. I have helped butcher hogs and deer but if I see a face or the head that kind of does it for me :)<br /><br />Have a blessed day!<br />~SharonSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737384601584423130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677866446660565018.post-989107607097258522011-05-16T12:54:39.231-07:002011-05-16T12:54:39.231-07:00We did rabbits for a year.

There is no scalding, no plucking, and it seemed a little easier to gut.<br />The pelt slips off like a t-shirt. I think if I had to choose between raising meat chickens or rabbits, I may choose the rabbit. There are benefits to the chickens though too. I guess it would just depened on your circumstances and willingness.Mountain Home Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14307105463600660439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677866446660565018.post-79100336218233803712011-05-13T14:10:45.325-07:002011-05-13T14:10:45.325-07:00I've butchered lots of animals, and the kill p...I've butchered lots of animals, and the kill part is my least favorite.
