I raised many chickens and sold the fryers. I also sold eggs and cream, ducks and geese and turkeys. My husband made me an electric chicken picker and all I had to do was boil the water in a large kettle and then scald them and put them on the picker and it would take all the feathers off. I still have people ask me if I still sell the cream. My kids and I would eat fresh fried chicken even when we were butchering.
