First Chickens Processed!

6/18/2016

 
Big day on the farm today. Andrew processed his first chickens. 

When I ordered the chicks from the hatchery, I ordered 27 birds. 25 girls and 2 roosters. I received 34 birds in total. The hatchery sent me 7 extra birds. My suspicion was that the extra birds the hatchery sent me were roosters. My suspicion was correct. The boys in the hen house started to fight amongst each other, and even started getting aggressive towards me. Therefore, it was time to thin the flock. Andrew butchered 6 birds today. 2 of those roosters became our dinner this evening. We had grilled lime cilantro chicken with black beans and home made guacamole. The cilantro and chicken we raised. It brings me great joy to raise my own food. It gives me a great sense of satisfaction knowing I can sustain myself and my family.
