Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The space, setup, and equipment required to raise and process poultry are minimal when compared to other types of livestock. This is part of what makes chickens such an appealing choice for small-scale meat producers.

Expert butcher and teacher Adam Danforth covers the entire slaughtering and butchering process in this photographic guide specifically geared toward backyard chicken keepers and small-farm operations invested in raising meat responsibly.

With step-by-step photos and detailed instructions, Butchering Chickens includes chapters dedicated to necessary tools and equipment, essential food safety measures, how to prepare for slaughter, and how to process the birds quickly and humanely. It also covers how to break down the carcasses into cuts and how to package and freeze the cuts to ensure freshness.

This comprehensive handbook gives poultry raisers the information they need to make the most of their meat.
