Today was the big chicken day. (They are one of the reasons I haven't had any time to post here for a while now.) All the piggen meat birds move into several freezers around town. We had four friends come help us slaughter them. Three families took seven birds, and we get the rest... Something like fourteen. Here's a full cooler...
And a cooler I've been working on...
And the parts of three chickens out of that second cooler...
Kelly went to the store to get more freezer bags. We'll leave five-or-so whole to cook in the rotisserie, but the rest get parted up into legs, wings, breasts, and carcasses for soup. The birds weigh about seven-or-eight pounds cleaned. Each breast is a pound. Each leg is a pound. That's four meals for the two of us. Then we still have wings and soup.
