Sterling Day 2

morning: Went to Mark Dunbar's farm on Ketchum Hill Rd and learned how to drive two different types of tractors, one small gasoline powered tractor made in England in the 1950's (Ferguson) and one larger diesel powered tractor made in Germany in the 1970's (John Deere). The hardest part is definitely backing up with a trailer attached but I managed to more or less master it after several attempts.

afternoon: worked 3 hours as a "farm hand" clearing thorny brush for a new fence line, sanding eggs so they will be clean for the dining hall, and shoveling dung

evening: slaughtered, defeathered and cleaned a fat white chicken to be served in the dining hall

fun stuff! Very tired and sun kissed, hands completely sliced up

Waiting for an open funnel


Chicken funnel


Tying the feet


Getting some pre-cut tips


Making the cut


Bleeding him out




De-feathering



Ready to eviscerate


And off with the feet and he's ready to cook
