It's a hard thing. Most of my experience with butchering occurred when I was little and my family raised goats and rabbits and chickens. I got too attached to the critters (what's a girl to do??). In the years since I've been able to reflect back on it as an important and formative experience. Everyone should know where their food comes from and what it takes to get it on the plate.
I wish you guys were here with me...but only two little chickens won't be enough for us all anyways.
Maybe the next moot?
