This year the meat birds received a new house! After hours of grueling work, the new and improved chicken tractor was finally completed. It remained outside of the field, in the yard this year, out of fear the goats or cows might destroy the tractor minutes after it was completed. Eric processed the birds yesterday. This was a week earlier than last year, so we had more reasonable sized chickens (4-5 pounds) compared to last years 6-7 pound giants. He continues to improve his butchering skills and was able to process each chicken in under 3 minutes! We processed a total of 24 chickens this year.
A fresh chicken dinner awaits any Vermont visitors!
