Cut resistant glove for chickens
We retired a few older hens
yesterday and I used a cut resistant glove for the first time (Thanks
Mom).
It feels safer than a leather
glove and easier to clean.

Retiring chickens
Do you pluck the chicks or skin them? Which method is better?

Plucking vs. skinning chickens
Nayan --- We prefer to pluck if possible since the pastured fat gets lost with the skin otherwise. We did skin our ducks, though, because they were really, really hard to pluck. But with chickens, a power plucker plus a couple of minutes of hand work does the trick nicely.
