This is about working my way country right. I bout 17 chicken for $90 great deal! My roos are happy. Im no long over ran by horney males and unwilling pullets. Its to hold me over till I can start get some layers. Quiet possibly make some egg-stra (like the play on words) doe selling eggs. But right away one had Egg Peritonitis so bad its rear was hairless and swollen out. In doing research. Finding I couldnt save it. And my son wanting to be a scientist we killed and disected it.
I couldn't bare wringing the neck. I wanted to do it a humane way...but *ashamed* I drowned it. I used this as a learning experience for my son. I told him it really wasnt the best way to kill a chicken. It wasnt humane. It was just the only way I could do it. But the chicken was suffering. He still wants to wring a RIR chickens neck....
So....in skinning the chicken I was able to show muscle and fat and we plucked a few feathers.....amazingly....now I think about it once the chicken was dead....minus skinning it....it wasnt much diffrent then pulling stuff out of store bought chicken except its cleaner lol.
So I opened up the buldging butt....and was kinda upset at first thinking maybe I killed it for no reason. I saw what I thought was fat. I continue pulling it out and it registered it was partially cooked egg yolk. It filled her insides and was causing the buldging of her rear. I found her intestants, her liver, and then my hand hit blood sqwishy warm not like the yolk and I found the rest of the organs....including the one lung that was yolk engulfed.
Now I am parinoid about the others.
But for another day....I am trying booby-bating again wish me luck!
