Amazingly enough, I wasn't.

Somehow I expected frantic turkeys to be running around in the
background with people, meat cleavers in hand, chasing them down and
hacking them.

City people just don't "get" country.

I was watching it all on MSNBC's Morning Joe Friday morning. I
may be a city boy, but I don't think I'm as dumn as those city boys
were on Morning Joe. They kept saying, "Look, they're feeding the
turkey into that grinder." Yeah, right, like they're going to grind
up a turkey, together with feathers and bones?

The device was simply a large inverted cone with a small hole
onthe bottom. My guess is that they were sticking the turkey upside
down into the cone so just his head was sticking out, then slicing the
head off at the neck, and then leaving it to drain for a couple
minutes, then throwing it off into a pile of headless and mostly
bloodlet turkeys.

Any farm boys here want to comment? Did I get it rite?

I can't speak for turkeys, but I have killed my share of chickens.
You pull the wings back so that one hand holds/controls both wings and legs
and their can be no fluttering or moving around.

You then place the chicken's head over a stump. With your other hand you
take the ax and cut the head off.
NOW, you had best let the fluttering chicken loose and quickly proceed in
the opposite direction.
As the chicken jumps around, it invariably (always seems so) will come your
direction and even seem like it is chasing you.

You then grab the legs and submerged the chick into a pail of scalding
water.
hang the chicken up by a wire around the legs.
Pluck the chicken.
Butcher.
Cook.
Eat.
Bon appetit!
