Has anyone here ever done this?

I was wondering, what do you do to clean it (get any lice & whatever else out) and what is the proper care & storage for it while you are saving up enough to make something with it? Is there anything else that I should know about it? I would like to know now, before the time comes. I read here: http://www.journeytoforever.org/farm_poultry.html how to process them properly, and to collect the plucked down with a vacuum cleaner. As much as it tells me most of the information, I still want to learn more.
