So, once you've killed, dunked, and plucked your chickens, it's time to clean them out. First remove the windpipe (shown on second bird), then cut off the glands above the tail. Cut an opening in the rear of the chicken, care not to puncture any internal organs. Then...you rip them out!!! Make sure to rake your fingers along the rib cages to get out all the lungs and whatnot, and save the hearts and livers if you please. Give them a very thorough rinse, and then place them in a vat of cold water. After a while, remove and place in ice-cold water to give them a firm-up. Voila! Ready for bagging and freezing.
When I get time, I will post the rest of the slaughtering process.....in the mean time...TRICK OR TREAT??
TRICK.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
