processing day

We were able to spend a weekend out in the country for the first time since school started!  One of our goals was to process 6 hens--perfect weather for it!

Lucy took a break and worked on her burn pile

Using the homemade feather plucker

It reduced the plucking time to under a minute!

The first two are plucked!

 

 

 

 

 

And the last few random pics from the weeks--Lucy came to watch me vote.  Do you like her "Eye" voted sticker as a patch?
