A little wooden shed behind the house was known as the "meat house", where the hams were kept. They also killed their own chickens, by chopping off the heads, & hanging the chickens from the clotheslines. The chickens would flail, & flap their wings, even after the head was cut off.<br /><br />Thanks for the interesting bontonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852536941656729576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-77601124618775762462013-10-21T23:07:36.465-04:002013-10-21T23:07:36.465-04:00Janet!
