It is my personal belief that owning and raising chickens should not turn us into raving lunatics.
We knew when we filled our chicken coop with over twenty living chickens that we were embarking upon a journey that would stretch and challenge us. We knew we might need to do things we had never considered doing before. Things like frequent the feed store or save our table scraps.
I didn't really foresee the necessity of "removing" certain chickens. Apparently they can go nuts. When a chicken goes nuts, it tends to believe it is continually laying an egg. It sits in it's nesting box just waiting for that egg. But the egg never comes.
Unfortunately, when this happens, all the other chickens find it disturbing. They find it so disturbing, in fact, that as a group they all go on egg production strike. No eggs are laid until the sad, crazy chicken is gone.
I refused to be a part of this removal process. My husband undertook the job and removed the chicken. By that, I mean he removed the chicken's head from the rest of it's body.
It is my personal belief that when a man must, for the sake of his family, undertake head removing jobs, he should most definitely not place the headless chicken in the deep freeze for his wife to unsuspectingly find when forging for food.
NOT NICE.
