the pic shows the heads, but can you decapitate them and hang by the feet? or would you need to bleed them to do this? or?

i am seriously planning to do this, much to my hubby's disgust. ok, well not much, but some. i do have a fridge with an external thermostat i can use, but i also buried 3 55 gallon drums for root cellars, and think one of them would work perfect also.

i have 2 roosters from this spring that i am enjoying for now, but know i will want to dispatch soon enough. i may keep one till spring for a clutch, but i may just collect some fertile eggs now and....
at any rate 2 is too many. they are starting to fight. when that gets ugly it is over.

it will be my first time eating one of my birds. i am determined to make it a delicious celebration.
