I guess this is how he got his start!

Just in fun for today.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone and I have to thank those of you who helped me with the information I needed thru this past year. It was a big help.
From My Family To Yours We Hope You Enjoy This Day!

That's the way we used to do it, but if one didn't hold their head down they would move soon as you would swing the ax.

We never had a turkey to kill, but I killed chickens that way as a boy. Except I used an ax, not a hatchet. The chicken didn't move on the block either. My mother just pulled the chickens head off.

The pictures remind me of when I was, oh 4.5 yrs. Shortly after the end of WWII. Dad back home(ThankYou) and we went out in the back yard to 'do the chicken'. I was on the far side of the yard, so when he dropped the 'headless' chicken and headed towards the house. The violently thrashing chicken, was between him & me and had me 'trapped' out there. I thought it was 'after' me !! Never forgot that. ha

Reminds me of one instance in my childhood. Even though we were urbanites, grandma/pa were rural folks. It was after Christmas and I had my little camp axe (present) with me looking for anything to chop.

Grandma said that we were going to have fried chicken for lunch and told me to get my axe and come along. We went to the hen house and she smartly grabbed up a big fat white hen.

Went out back and there was an old tree stump that had numerous wear marks. I got to chop it's head off and watch it flop about, then help with the plucking, and I forget the rest, even the eating part.

Think of it often when passing chicken fast food stores as to how times have changed.
