Chicken Days - June

Yesterday's chicken day wen't pretty well. We started around 8am with customers coming as early as nine and as late as 4ish. The processing went well and we had Nancy B. helping us on the gutting table so it was even smoother. We used to have a huge issue with our electric scalder not keeping up. Now we have to be careful about keeping the scalder temp from getting too hot. Our first batch was too hot and the first batch through the sclader ended up being set aside as stew chickens for our family for the winter. Today is a short day with not as many to process as yesterday so I expect that things will move along nicely.
