Richard Perkins and his team blindfold themselves to eviscerate the final two chickens of the season as a muscle-memory demonstration. One blindfolded run took 3 minutes 30 seconds. They also discuss feed trials, pen design, and grocery prices like €5 for kimchi and €4 for four small pickled cucumbers.

Last slaughter session of the year, Last birds coming through. And then we can analyze the different feed trails. We've been doing as well as the pen design. It. Looking at the price. This is a Swedish company that doesn't. It's not Swedish, it's just non pasteurized. This is Danish, I think. Danish. Danish company. And this is certified organic kimchi. It's €5. Crazy, no? And pickled cucumbers. These are things we put in our boxes. But no, maybe Swedish. These are €4 just for four small cucumbers. Just goes to show that's Ragnar. Second's the easiest thing is to live. Yeah. You like custard? Last birds. These are the last two chickens go for the slaughter all year. And we thought we'd do something silly. Don't try this at home. Very sharp knives. Not a good idea. These are birds that aren't for sale. They're for us to eat. So we're doing blindfolded evisceration to see how good our muscle memory is before we shut down the slawry for next year. And we're going to get graded on presentation of final bird safety by not cutting ourselves and getting the oval in the bin. Now, we've been saving hearts and livers, but we're not doing it for these birds because it's a bit tricky without any sun. So we're going to blindfold ourselves, eviscerate some chicken. You up for it? Blindfolding, evisceration. Let's go. Yeah. This is the most dangerous bit. The little. Hard to know if you've got the right bit. How's it going, Benjamin? I'm on the. I'm on the crop. Can you see? No, I can't see anything. Just because you got a blindfold on and completely gon. Utterly blind. I've been the dark. Oh, I'll grab the blade. This is good. Now, we have done this a lot of times, so we're aware of the risks involved, but don't try it. Not such a big deal if we cut ourselves. Now, Benny, I'm just going to see if I can. Nicholas, can you tell me if I successfully. I'm saying that's the heart, which I can put up there. And I'm going to try and separate the liver without breaking anything. Is that a liver? Are you sure? Yeah, that's a liver. Yeah. And I'm feeling the gallbladder and I think I've separated it and that should just be liver, yeah? Yeah. But I lost my knife. I don't know where the turns are there to your left. Your left, Ben. Left. Further up. To my left. Yeah. Fill that left. Fill that up. I don't want to get in. Richard. Though. Right. Okay. Working next to a left hand. Knee is not too good. Then it's lungs. Checking the windpipes out. Check it out for me, please. No, don't spray it down. I don't know. Which one was it? How'd it go? I left a bit alone. All right. Who's inspecting? No cuts though. Pretty good. Got the butthole. And I separated my liver and heart. Did you? Yeah. Apparently. What was the time on that one? A little bit long. 3 minutes and 30. 3 minutes, 30 seconds. With your eyes closed. Just goes to show it's a muscle memory thing. That's how you get fast in doing this. You perfect the minimum movements necessary and then you do the same thing every time. Like any farm job. Really. But these came out really good. That's perfectly saleable. Bird. Real british pasta.
