A customer at work gave me this big ass wooden crate. It is build sturdy and has these nice latches on the side to take the side off, and it has some tough caster wheels on the bottom. Loaded it into my work truck and took it home. I'm gonna make a chicken coop out of it.
Good lord. That sounds horrific. I wasn't raised on a farm or around chickens so there's no way I would ever have been exposed to that, and I have a new respect for anyone who had to do that disgusting chore. I remember Garrison Keillor (the Prairie Home Companion guy) telling a story about slaughtering chickens as you described, and one got away after it was decapitated and just kept running.
