80 Chicken Feet and Nine Hours of Work
I was originally going to use "From Farm to Table: A Fencing Story and Fresh Perspectives" for the title, but I thought "80 Chicken Feet..." was more fun. You be the judge.
A Firsthand Farm Experience
This past weekend, I had a front-row seat to a process most people in the USA never get to witness—Daniel and Rachel slaughtered their 40 chickens, and I was on babysitting duty for the little ones. It was an exciting experience watching the entire cycle unfold.
Daniel captured the chickens, brought them to the slaughtering station, and then used an electric plucker to remove the feathers—a far cry from the laborious method my mother once described from her farm days.
Once Rachel took over the gutting and cutting, everything was neatly separated—the feet in one bowl, the liver, heart, and gizzard in another, and the chickens in a holding tank of cold water. When the final process of vacuum-sealing was done, their freezer was filled with six months' worth of super nutritious, healthy chickens. Rachel uses the chicken feet when making broth, as they add a tremendous amount of nutritional value.
The Value of Quality Tools
This firsthand experience made me reflect on how things have changed and the value of working with quality tools—whether it's for farming, food prep, or fencing. Just like Daniel and Rachel's method has evolved with modern tools, so too has the way we approach fencing at Louis E. Page.
