How to butcher chicken outdoors
What happens here
The video begins with a disclaimer about sharp objects being used in the chicken processing. The creator then introduces himself as Josh from Stoney Ridge Farmer and outlines the day's project: processing 48 Cornish Cross chickens from Meyer Hatchery. He thanks Right Farm Products and Coops N More for providing equipment. He then gives an overview of the entire setup, including killing cones, a scalding pot (propane-powered), a Pro Plucker (extra-large), an economy plucker, a processing table with tools, a three-bay sink for chilling, and packaging supplies. A fan is shown for keeping cool, and a canopy provides shade.
