It was chicken processing day at the Mahlburg farm. Mark and John pardoned some pullets for me to give sanctuary. I loaded two kennels in the back of my car. My new car's hatch opening is about 2 inches higher than the Vibe was so the kennels actually fit into the back of the car. I was happy about that.
I took their new kitten with me. He was not a good traveler and cried most of the way there. He has an excellent set of lungs and I may have an eardrum still suffering trauma. His siblings have not missed him.
I came home with a much higher ratio than 2 to 1 on chicken vs chicken feet. Most of the extras went into the freezer but a few of them have been processed into broth. The feet have to be blanched and peeled before that can be done. Most are easy to peel, but if they haven't been in the hot water long enough or have been in the cold water too long it is a challenge. They make nice, thick, flavorful broth which is destined to have noodles added to it for lunch today. mmm mmm good!
I gave Thor one of the feet still raw. He also thought that was doggone good. Much better than those lousy pig ears.

Remember Evelyne's response to Wen Wei's request for chicken feet? "Does she know where those feet have been?"
