Sheila I so enjoyed reading about the processing of that chicken- I think it helps me to really get a feel for what Maxine has to do and just how far she has come in learning her chores and helping her momma…. Just my thoughts- love reading your writing!❤️
The details of the chicken processing provide a picture of all the work involved in that I would never have thought about. I suspect Mother knows more about what really happened and interested to hear more.
I think that's why I was so into writing that section. Food preparation was a never-ending job that we often take for granted now. I loved reading Barbara Kingsolver's Animal, Vegetable, Miracle because she describes the tedium of some of these processes and the seasonal nature of our food sources.

I to enjoyed reading about the processing of the chicken. I think it should stay!
The details paint a great picture of the work she had to do to get a chicken to the table.
It was interesting for my daughter also.
We had a discussion about how much work children had to do, and how little complaining was done in doing those chores.
