Killing Chickens

The leadership here wants to prepare us for our field experience as much as possible. For those of us going to Sub-Saharan Africa, that means learning how to kill chickens and cook bread over the fire. So last weekend....we did both! It was a crazy experience. 

Here we are beginning down by the lake with a fire.

Emma found a farm dog and tied it to herself.

Uncle Robert telling stories to the children....

Here is 1 of the 4 chickens peeking out of her box.

Here Uncle Bob is choosing the best bird!

Cute, isn't she?

 Getting the instructions for the killing.

 Head on the chopping block....

After the headless bird danced and danced, it rested in peace....

 Bird in the boiling water for 10 seconds....

Time to pluck!

 And pluck....

 And pluck...

Time to eviscerate...

We had to leave before the chickens were cooked. But the bread that we cooked over the fire was very good.
