I mean, would he have known what to look for or what he was seeing? Just asking, no implications... Glad everyone made it through your absence. 
My DH is terrified of chickens. We have 58(?). He will take care of them if he has to but they are mine. He isn’t a cat person either and only pets 3 of our 8 cats. Oscar gets evicted from the house every chance DH gets. The first time he worked cattle with us, we were still teenagers and I was in charge of shots, tagging, dehorning with scoops, and castrating. Papaw made DH hold the first bull calf that went through while I cut it. DH flinched every time the calf tensed up as he lost his manhood. Dad then told DH to never p*** me off or I’d castrate him! 
I still drag him into various things around here that I need his help with - like catching chickens. He can’t catch them to save his life! I have to and hand them over. 
I had my husband hold the ram lambs last year when I cut them. It grossed him out, but he held them tight. He is a pretty good sport about things, he will hold the chicken feet while I peel the skin off, but no dragging the guts out! He mostly watched last summer when we slaughtered 3 hogs, on the last one, he tried skinning-a little.
