Our butchering season is over for the year!!! No more hauling water and feed twice a day to the birds, no more feathers, no more guts.......well, you get the picture!!
We finally finished our chickens last week; thanks to the help of dear friends (thank-you SO much, Wissmanns!!) we did our last 120 birds!!! Once again Scott's plucker was indispensable, enabling us to get the birds plucked a whole lot faster then we could have by hand!!! Our butchering season always has rewards and challenges, but there is nothing like that delightful feeling of not having to butcher any more birds until spring!!!! :)
