(At least that was the case with our breed). Too bad about the feathers in the washing machine! It was a good idea "in theory".Harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02028560337465431899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8263087349746122997.post-25189693238922183312012-02-23T14:23:15.643+10:302012-02-23T14:23:15.643+10:30Yes, I can now most definitely see the dual benefi...Yes, I can now most definitely see the dual benefits of leaving the bird to 'rest' a while!

Being brought up on a farm we often had chickens/pheasants etc to pluck (and kill in the case of the chickens), in fact I once remember my Dad deciding to butcher his own lamb (we are sheep farmers and my brother still is) and all it got very messy. Oddly both my brother (the farmer) and sister wont eat lamb these days, I always think it's connected with memories of my Dad cutting one up on the kitchen table.
