I quite agree, Ron. But then, (more oral history) I remember the dread of being told to gather the eggs knowing that I would be assaulted by a particularly mean old rooster who ruled the chicken yard. But the eggs were worth the travail; I recollect that the chickens were fed on kitchen scraps. They had dark orange yolks and tasted better than anything you'll get at the store today. But enough with the personal anecdotes: I reckon that those of us who can recall those days are simply a part of that cross-section of "Post European Colonial avian butchering and consumption data." That's a good way to put it. And, by the way, in my earlier posting, I didn't mean to refer to my great-grandmother, born in 1870, but to my grandmother, born in 1892.

Morgan,
Try to think of it as oral history or anecdotal ethnography when people tell
their family chicken killing and consumption practices. We actually are
getting a cross-section of Post European Colonial avian butchering and
consumption data.
