You'll want a small blade like a scalpel to make this relatively small cut without cutting into the spinal cord, though that is preferable to cutting the windpipe/crop.Lucihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06198014141555869921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730310750864966773.post-8921260420663536872010-12-18T15:33:11.485-08:002010-12-18T15:33:11.485-08:00I'm in the same situation, with 4 roosters and...I'm in the same situation, with 4 roosters and am looking to butcher my first chicken. You mentioned some useful YouTube videos, can you recommend any specific vids or web sites?

DH said he felt a little queasy putting the chicken in the pot, but I poked the leg sticking out and mumbled something like, "That's right, you're in the pot." It was exhilarating to achieve this new level of sustainability.Lucihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06198014141555869921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730310750864966773.post-60227734365365903862010-10-31T19:49:30.895-07:002010-10-31T19:49:30.895-07:00Luci,
