Well, well, well- looks like it didn’t post the comment I tried to send from my phone. What I said was that it looks like a good day! That chicken plucker is crazy, and it makes me think that if given the choice, the life of a fluffy chick is much better than the life of an adult chicken. Remember that bossy chicken that came by way of Babylon?
Great photos! I’m such a hypocrite sitting here feeling sorry for the chickens and I eat chicken! You’re doing it the way it’s supposed to be done! Beautiful images of the stuff of life.
My grandmother always said that chicken feet made the best yellow gravy!
