The Chicken Massacre

(WARNING: Images in this post may be disturbing to some individuals (not really) but viewer discretion is advised)







Almost seven weeks ago........the Roberts purchased 50 cute little yellow chicks called broilers. The idea was to test out whether or not raising these chickens would be a more economical way of feeding the fourteen individuals that make up our two families.

A few days ago we all got to experience what families in America must have found common practice 75 years ago...........slaughtering your own meat. What a task, our worker Terren and a couple other ladies from the surrounding villages spent all day plucking feathers, cutting the chicken into pieces and bagging it all. Needless to say we are a lot more grateful for pioneers such as KFC who make enjoying our little feathered friends much less tiresome.........
