If you live on a farm or raise chickens, you'll find that some people kill chickens by 'wringing' or breaking their necks. To start the 'dressing' process, you'll need to boil some water. Submerge the chickens in the hot water in order to easily remove the feathers. After the feathers are removed, you'll need to singe the hairs off. Now, take a knife and cut around the anus. Be sure to not cut the intestines. Remove the neck and all internal organs. Afterward, start cutting the chicken into pieces. Thoroughly wash the poultry before storing or cooking. Don't forget to remove the feet. For more information look here: http://everything2.com/title/How+to+kill...;
