chicken cutter

[Chicken613]

I plan on processing about 100 chickens in one day. Im debating if I should purchase a chicken cutter similar to something like this. What do you think? Any better way to quickly cut up that many chickens? Anyone know of a place near Cincinnati, OH to buy them second hand or rent?

From experience, using a saw to cut carcasses = bone chips = more cleaning time. Not worth the trouble for something the size of a chicken, unless you are going to do 100/ day, everyday ..... and for the price of one of those, you'd have to do that for a long time to recoup the cost.

A chicken is not that hard to split and quarter with a decent meat cleaver (not one of those chintzy stamped P'sOS- it's gotta weigh a couple of pounds), a large sized set of quality kitchen shears, or even a good heavy bladed butcher knife ...... sadly, those are not readily available at your local department store anymore ......

Why do you need to do 100 in a day, may I ask?

We did 2 dozen a day a 2-3 times a week when I was a kid ...... 12 in the morning and 12 in the evening.

I'd recommend a good pair of shears
