Chicken Processing

Our first batch of chickens have been completed.  The birds looked great and except for our scalder breaking down again... we stayed ahead of schedule.  We had the Boernsen's over to help for a couple of days and it was a huge help in keeping things moving.  Sharon had been asking for some type of drying rack for the chickens so I made a new drying rack to put the chickens on to drain while the bag is placed over them.  Sharon said it worked really well so we'll keep that around and keep that in our process.  We ate one of the chickens that we just processed this weekend last night for dinner and as usual it was fantastic.  The next set of chickens will be processed in late August.
