Chicken Day - Batch 2 - 2011

Another chicken day is here.  I'm up early to get the scalding water started.  Scalding has been our most challenging process and generally causes us to wait until the water comes up to temp before we can start.  This morning I started the water at 5AM.  If this isn't early enough I think my only option is to load the scalder with hot tap water in the morning.  Since I'd rather not have a garden hose connected to a sink I hope 5AM is early enough.
