We started our day out this morning washing chickens! They are all done having lice so I wanted to get them washed and free of any poison. It is very challenging to get 6 chickens washed and blow dried! First we have to wash them with soap in the first bucket and them we have to transfer them to the second bucket that has water and vinegar in it. The vinegar helps to get all the soap off. When we show them we transfer them to a third bucket that has conditioner in it. We then wrap them up in towels for them to dry. We leave our chicken burritos wrapped up while we start blow drying the first one. We then put them in a cage in the sun to dry and they prune their feathers to put them all back into place. This took all morning. We are now soaked with sweat and water from all the wing flapping that went on.Hopefully we will not have to do this again till November for the fair!
I'm laughing out loud at your story, and the picture of the "chicken burritos" - too funny!!
ReplyDeleteI can tell for sure I am a city girl ... like you didn't already know that ... ah, the memories of childhood summers with Jessie (tee hee) ...anyway, I never would have imagined washing a chicken was possible (unless you count washing the boneless skinless kind before cooking it) and to me a chicken burito is something you buy at Taco Bell :)
