The Chicken Slaughterer

When ordering chicks the minimum order was 15, so we got 5 laying hens (Barred Rocks-one turned out to be a rooster), and 10 Cornish Giants for meat, then acquired 3 Leghorn hens. Now our chicken ranch is going to see a drastic herd reduction this weekend, on the agenda is: killing, plucking and dressing 10 chickens. Never done it, any suggestions? Should we just freeze the carcasses, or use seasonings? If the advice is to pay someone else, don't bother,I'm leaning toward hiring the job out, but I've been overruled, (just seems like a way to use up a whole Saturday that could be put to more productive use). But any other tips would be appreciated.

PS It should go without saying (but after the tablesaw pic thread, it needs said), this thread would be more palatable in a text only format.
