No problem with the chicken-plucking how-to. I was a little skeptical at first, I'm more of a city slicker. The whole thing started off as a joke while watching a football game! We completed our 5th annual plucking festival this past June.

WOW! My husband and I, would like to THANK you and your backyard crew for this very informational website. We didn't know much about this, but now we know enough to do it ourselves. Thank you for showing it step by step. It pays to learn these living off the land values, as the economy will force us to do so in the near future. We are slowly educating ourselves by getting books and also doing our own gardening, and raising everything to live off the land.

Better to use the cone method and slice the vein. not cut off the head. let the blood drip into a bucket with water or vinegar.

use vinegar if you want to use the blood for food. makes a great soup.

Really cutting off the head is the wrong way to do it.

You can purchase stainless steal cones or use red road cones turned over. Cones are best because they can not move and flap wings. they also drip better.

What a fascinating life you lead!! The pictures were very good. Good summary and description. How is the flavor of these birds?? No mention of that.
