Local already raised and processed meats...

Meatie chicks can be ordered from almost all of the major hatcheries. This time of year there may be sales on some. I do not know of local RBs.
There may still be local DP chicks available.
I ordered my RB from Strombergs.
I am sure that there are more local people raising meat chickens, maybe check CL. I just have not paid any attention to that. Some of the Food Co-ops have meat options.
I just scald and pluck by hand. Big pot and a Cajun stove and a candy thermometer. 155 degrees works pretty well.... Of course the most I usually process in a season is 50 tops, usually 25.
