Here Chickie Chickie......


It was a nice day despite the rain.  Scott had the crew here today trimming windows in the basement and fixing the fireplace.  We have had a fire in there for 4 years every winter, every day.  That is a lot of heat!! So the mortar needed some repair!  
Scott, David, Acelia, my mom, and I processes some chickens today.  21 to be exact!


Acelia was busy holding bags, running back and forth with the bowls and delivering chickens!


Scott got a new set of knives today in the mail.  Just in time!! They are so sharp that some
of the meat had a nick or two!  
Mom and I put them in the fridge and will can them tomorrow.  We also froze the hearts, liver, kidneys,  and necks for the dogs raw food.
We have about 25 more to do and those we are going to try to pluck and leave the skin on.
I can't believe how big some of these were!!! We have several that will fill up my roasting pan.
We've raised chickens before but they were around 3-4 lbs.  These, we are guessing are around 5-8 lbs.
We raised Freedom Rangers this year for the first time and loved them.
