post-mortem chicken redux...

OK, so yesterday I described processing poultry from the farmyard critter stage to the ready for KFC final product, ala the University of Florida's "do-it-yourself " home abatoir directions. Today, I give you the illustrated addendum!

The first photo is the first of the birds awaiting (with remarkable calm!) the inevitable, and some of the kiddies already rapt with facination. Next in sequence is the fatal moment, with "Russ the Knife" performing the coup de grace. This is followed by Norma assiting with the 'plucking' stage: Look ma- no feathers! We then move indoors, where yours truly is helping to show off Noemi's handiwork. Finally, the end result: chicken in every pot! (or the umpteenth dead chicken cliche, depending on your perspective) ;-)
