Time to butcher! Our Cornish X chickens were ready to be processed. We set up some stations beforehand to make things go a little smoother. We had a slaughter area (not pictured), then a dunking station, defeathering station, gutting station, cleaning station and then the cooler boxes to put the final product in. Our family is pretty good at working together.

| Everyone helps - even the littlies. They can do the final plucking and making sure everything is clean. |

| The biggest job is the plucking. Many hands make light work! |

| Dunking station to help loosen feathers before plucking begins. |
It was a LOT of work, but it was good to have our own homegrown chickens in the freezer.
