If it is that's the only place I've heard of doing it that way. Most of us depress the area around the vent to tell. Pretty much the same as doing rabbits.TexasBred":1t7qpynz said:hooknline":1t7qpynz said:How accurate is that? 50/50? :lol:
Well a guy from a chicken hatchery taught me. Never did it a lot but he said that's how they do it.

ETA: thinking about my mother in law. She would butcher a bird for dinner. No aging or hanging. Just kill and cook it.
As a yonker my job on sunday was to kill a chicken, mother would pluck it then I had to draw it. BTW, I used to really like eating chicken feet.3waycross":10jzo6e9 said:Every Sunday when i was a kid.

Everything went really well but there has got to be a way to keep the blood from flyin everywhere after the heads are cut off and they flail around
I can use the same one we used for castrating the cat. He sure didn't like his dabblers being stuffed through that small hole though. :lol:slick4591":29zvjcop said:hooknline":29zvjcop said:We just did 7 young roosters as a test run for the big run Of 17 meat chickens.

Find a small traffic cone and mount it someway with the bottom turned upwards. Put the bird in it head first and out the small hole. That's the ticket.
