I've butchered chickens.

Get a machete(in Iowa we call it a corn knife) to do the job. Bleed 'em, pluck the feathers, and dress 'em. Best chicken you'll ever have are those you raise yourself. MMMMMMMMM

1. It's amazing

how some people can brag about how they killed an animal.

2. My grandma used to all the time

where I am sitting, we were a subsistance farm then. She preferred to wring their necks.

3. Yeah I've heard that some people do that.

And I know that some use hot wax to take the feathers off. We used boiling water.

4. Yes, boiling water

makes it much easer.

How long do you hang them up for?

5. Seems like it was for about 20 minutes or so

to bleed them. Then dunk 'em in the water and start plucking.
