Scott's long time desire...

 Scott got to harvest his first chicken.  He's often contemplated the idea that someday, he would only eat meat that he harvested himself.  This roosters were well-cared for by Jen & Kerry (friends we stayed with). Kerry coached Scott through the whole process. Above, Scott is attempting to sedate the rooster before using the axe.

 This was the de-feathering process.

The featherless birds were then cut up into section for supper that night and the rest for the freezer.
