Restoring order in the chicken yard

We took advantage yesterday of a sudden day of warm sunshine on the southwest Oregon coast to restore order to our flock of two dozen chickens. We had too many roosters and they were beating up on the hens. Today the rain returned and so did order to the chicken yard.

Sam holds a condemned bird.

I took my turn with the axe.

Annie and Erik clean the birds.

After boiling, they're ready for canning.

    I love canned chicken. My husband not so much.

    I take mine to the Amish to have them cleaned. They do a wonderful job for about $1.00 a bird. I give them a bonus for speed and a very clean chicken and I have no mess here. And they get to keep the gibblets which I do not like.
