Thanks but I don't have a cooler that would hold 8 chickens and swapping out frozen jugs that often won't work for me. Appreciate the suggestion, though.
This is really good to know! I have 8 Cornish X Rock cross chicks coming this Friday to put in the freezer in a few weeks. I can only fit about three at a time in the fridge after processing. At what age do y'all recommend I start butchering them, and how long should I keep them in the fridge...
