I would like to get some meat birds this spring but I cant seem to find a processor that deals with poultry. Anyone know where I can go? I willing to drive a reasonable amount.
If you are looking to heat your coop with out adding the extra light on your chickens you can use a ceramic heat lamp. They sell them at Amazon.com for reptile habitats. My chickens are still young and not laying so they dont need the extra light. I use one and it works great.
Having an aggie school doesnt mean you wouldnt get picked on. I attended and aggie high school with FFA and 4-H clubs but because I was the daughter of a farmer I still got picked on. The right thing to do is not to pay any attention to them, do your best in high school and if you are still...
I got my chicks from Ideal and had no problems. One died along the way but I was able to get my money back for that chick with no trouble at all. The rest are all healthy and about ready to start laying. I'm planning on ordering from them again.
Actually I would be interested in going and learning how to process. I have never done it myself and I'm planning on getting some Cornish X Rocks next spring for processing. If you could get me the info on who to call I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

I will be moving to the area in about a week so I haven't had time to check the local feed stores. I have already tryed a few butcher shop and Salem Feed and Grain. None of them do chickens and they don't know anyone who does.

Thank you everyone. I was just planning on selling the extras to co-workers and if I still have more selling them to neighbors. My thought was $2.00 for large eggs and form what you have said it sounds like a good price. Any of the smaller once I will sell for less.
Thanks again.
This is my fist time with my own chicken. Before it was helping take care of my Mothers flock. It has been a while since I have had to deal with selling exrta eggs and I'm curius to know how much is a dozen going for now a days?
There is a definite gilt factor here. I really don't want to leave them but I'm going overseas to meet My husband at his next port call. And seeing my husband is something I'm not going to miss after not seeing him for three months. But I still feel bad. Is good to here that they should be...
I will be going on vacation and am going to be leaving some 10 week old chicks alone in my basement for about 10 days. I will be having someone coming once a day to check my animals (dog/cats/chicks/gerbles/fish). I'm just not sure if checking them once a day will be OK for them. Should I try...
