A new experience on "Humble Roots Heritage" farm included participating in butchering three chickens. It was first time this season that Joe and Jessi would try chicken meat. They kind of had to "test drive it", to know what weight to expect from the birds when they would take then to the butcher in two weeks. Also, Joe's father, John was coming for a visit with his wife, Maria. Plus, they wanted to treat us to a very good dinner.
Ivana will become a great farm girl one day. She was ready to help with plucking and took charge in dipping the bird into 140 degrees water.
Plucking was done pretty quickly. Then we got to see the intestines, found out what was in the stomach, examined the healthy heart and lungs.
Dinner was plentiful and we also didn't let the gizzards go to waste. Mirek cooked a chicken soup with Polish noodles, Jessi baked the chickens with rice and veggies, and nobody seemed to be very traumatized by the experience. Maybe Leona was, a little.

This all reminds me of when I did this for the first time at some friends' farm years ago. Well done Ivana!
