The time to process birds grows near. I am looking for input on
your way, your set-up, what works for you? I feel confident about
dressing a bird, but there's so much more. How do you deliver
your final blow? Do you do it in a barn, a kitchen, outside? What
do you do with the blood and parts? I know there will be lots of
answers, as different states require different handling of carcasses.
Would you recommend outside sinks? A stainless table under a
tree? Do you employ the garden hose, wash it all away? Do you
think I could have my coffee at the same table? ha. How many do
you process at one time? How long does it take? Do you have friends
over to help? Is it a family affair, or do you take care of things when
the little ones are not around? I would love to hear from you, and
what works best in your circumstance.
