try hudson lockers I think they only charge $4 per bird www.hudsonlockers.com/ small family owned local business

Closest processor I know is over in Simla. They're pretty far away and they too are a small family owned business. They even have their kids helping with the processing and they're awfully friendly but I know they're really far away from you too.

I'll second Simla. They are called Simla Meat Locker, they come up under google. You do need to call and let them know how many birds you have. They reserve a day for you, but it's 1st come 1st serve. They process on Saturday mornings. If you get there by 7 you'll most likely be 1st in line. If not you can leave them there and come back in a couple hours. They have a restaurant in town or you can drive around and look at cows and silos. 3 months ago they charged 2.50 per bird and they do a very nice job.

I like the idea. I have some ducks I need to process that I am going to do solo, but I know I will have more drakes later once the broodies get going

Take I-25 south to Castle Rock and get off at hwy 86/Founders Pkwy and go east. That will take you to founders and then turn left on 86 continuing east. Go through Franktown and get to Elizabeth. Turn left at the first street after the saddle shop (wish I knew the name off the street but there's a body shop there on the corner and if you go over the bridge you've gone too far-how's that for country directions?) and you'll see it there on the hill.

Well, not exactly my ducks. They were from eggs from my ducks that Amber hatched, but extra 3 randy drakes are 3 too many, ya know? I got dual purpose ducks for a reason. Time for them to fulfill their other purpose and for me to stop being such a wuss
