Different Kind of Day




No crag routes today. No grand alpinism, no summits, no red-points, and no third classing ... Instead today was chicken harvest. We had a small harvest as three weeks ago coyotes got past the electric fence and decimated our flock. Still, we plucked, gutted, and cleaned 31 birds a total, which included almost a dozen turkeys. The photograph of me is manning the plucking station. The very short video shows the difference between meat birds and laying hens.
