I am not laughing at you I'm laughing with you.
A month or so ago I told my SO that I wanted to get some laying chickens because I love fresh eggs. I told him it would be a source of eggs and meat. He looked at me and said "Every animal we've ever had I have made my little buddy, Were YOU going to kill the chickens when it came time?" 
That put an end to the idea of raising chickens for meat.
I was raised in farm country and my Dad was a hunter so I'm not clueless about where meat comes from but I've never had to start the process myself. And I won't be doing it any time soon.
