Chicken killing parties? Really?

Picture
Butchering animals is never a fun job, and definitely not a social gathering time, or is it?  Necessity, being the mother of invention, dictates we find an easier way to get unpleasant things done.  At a party with my cousin I mentioned the need to get our chickens"done" and jokingly said we were to have a chicken killin' party soon.  Everyone should wear red and bring a knife...
Well the response was about as opposite as i thought it could be.  These people wanted  dates and times with promises to be there if they could.  I should probably mention that most of these people had been involved in the peace corps. We had nine people attend and all participated in all steps of butchering a chicken.  Imagine my surprise.  We got 18 chickens done in 3 hours.   Whenever I need to get things done around here I'm just gonna call it a party...
