Gday brewers I thought I'd flick this question to you guys and Gals @Zambi particularly im sure youved done this before?
so ya know back in October last year we had them little hatchings well this little fella is a Rooster
He's only 4 months old English Sussex breed.
Anyhow $ are tight and I thought hey why not eat him!
ive thought about passing him on abd talked to a few people here but herd this one lady who takes roosters if she dont like em well she eats em anyway...
so what's your best practice when it comes to slaughtering and dressing a chook.
I've done pigs and cattle in the slaughter house back in the day so I've got the basics covered lol
I'm guessing dispatch the chook
Bleed it for a short while
Gut it
Then I hear ya gotta boil it for a short while to help in plucking the feathers.
then off with the bits that don't appeal .
And talking to this Indian dude said their bloody lovely.
I intend to roast him ...
Oh and I'm not too happy about using my kettle to boil him will running hot water over the feathers suffice or say i heat the water up using my boiler then just add that to a bucket and steep him to loosen them up.?
Help a newbie please.
Cheers
