We have a 'date' with a friend who butchers every kind of critter for when the weather is better. We just couldn't face learning while it's nearly freezing, dark & pouring rain, especially when we don't have a covered area to work in right now. The info you have is great though, and something I look forward to sharing with others and keeping myself. It's good to have such a detailed guide as a back up.

The rest of our flock is working over the sod we just flipped. Hopefully we'll just have to till it once, and keep it in shape by non-mechanical means after it's been in production.

How do no-till folks break virin sod to veggie gardening?

To Joanna and others who want to butcher their own birds but haven't
tried it yet, may I offer my updated article on the subject at
http://www.themodernhomestead.us/article/Butchering-Ready.html

Your best learning option is of course to work with someone who's
experienced. In lieu of that better option, I think the article is about
as good a guide as you'll find. (And, with the recent update, it now has
3 doz illustrative pix.)

Please use and, if you find it useful, pass on the url.
