R.I.P Arlene, April-August 2009

It was a short life, but as chicken lives go, a pretty good one. He was just too much man for this world.

We used garden shears and severed his head completely. I don't know about painless, but it was quick.

  1. Garden shears are a MUCH better idea than a hatchet. I'm going to try that.

  3. That's how you did it? With garden shears? That's a great idea. It's like "Gray Gardens" meets "Psycho" or something.

    I'm hoping for backyard chickens someday (when we own a backyard), so I'm taking notes.

  5. Thanks for identifying which chicken...I'd lost track. Quick is good. Life is messy, isn't it? Who thinks about these things when one is merely after some eggs?
