Down One Chicken
As the 1965 hit song, Turn, Turn, Turn, by The Byrds played in the background, we killed out first chicken. Wes, our “chicken expert”, helped us out with each step of the whole process of dressing a bird properly.
After getting it all processed, in the oven it went. A couple hours later, we ate the most delicious chicken we had ever eaten. It was nice to know that the food we were eating was totally organic, had not been fed antibiotics and other chemicals. It had a good life, free ranging on our farm, and was now giving back to us.

I have enjoyed reading your postings on your site. In fact, I have enjoyed it so much, I have given you an award you can view at my site:

We, too, have killed one of our chickens to eat before. It was an all-day experience but one I think everyone should have at least once in their lifetime!
