What I need now is a good lung-scraper...

So we had a number of hens and a rooster that started to eat eggs. We worked hard to identify them and discovered that half our flock was doing this. Not good. After separating them we were finally able to get time for processing.

It was interesting to have processed hens rather than meat birds, and a number of them had eggs in various stages of development (to be expected).

I did find that it seemed far harder to remove the lungs of the hens over the meat birds. Part of this is I'm sure was the smaller working space. It would have helped to have a lung-scraper this time around...
