Killed an animal for the first time this week

Warning:  graphic photos attached of the very real process of chicken butchering.  Not to deter you; this is the reality of where our food comes from.

7 roosters down; the coop is much more friendly now, everyone's much happier (at least the fourteen hens, one rooster, and us - we don't have to feed them nearly as much).  It's not as hard as I thought it would be.  Not the actual process required, but the act of killing an animal.  I expected it to bother me more, or be difficult somehow.  I feel way more awesome now, and pretty bad ass to be eating food that I raised in my bathroom (well, not the whole time).

Pictures below for you enjoyment:

  1. why did you have that many roosters to begin with? And good job too! I always enjoyed butchering chickens at Thorntons.
