Iowans, what processors are still butchering chickens?

[There A Chick]

No, I've butchered before. I had a friend with 3 spent hens who showed me how. She skins them though as she pressure cooks the spent hens because their tough. It's not that I ~couldn't~ do it, I'd just prefer not too. I think everyone should ~know~ how to do it. Plus, they only charge something like $2.30 per bird to do it.

For me, it's more of a time thing. I work full-time in a job that can be rather stressful, have a longish communte, so I have very little free time as it is, and when i do, I want to ride my horses!

I really have to try and pare down the other things going on in my life and prioritize the horses because as you know, we have so few good riding days anyway. So, hey, if someone can do this for me for that little of money, I'm there!!

That's not a bad price at all. Well worth it. Hope you had a chance to ride your horses in the 50 degree weather yesterday. What a nice day. Take care and good luck. Dennis
