Hello All, I just joined Backyard Chickens and this is my first post! I wasn't sure where to reach out, but this seemed like a good place. I currently live in New York City. I have a commitment to slaughter my own meat as a personal and religious practice, and in NYC I have had a hard time finding sustainable chickens for consumption. The birds available at the live poultry markets are mostly commercially factory raised. Does anyone on this thread have recommendations (or they themselves have) meat birds that are sustainably raised available for purchase? Thanks! Jacob

Hey Jacob,

Glad to have you. I'm from the south (La) so I don't have an answer for you. Have you tried Craigslist. How about asking at your church? Check with the local butchers. See what's happening. Maybe someone else can point you in the right direction. Good Luck. Search around different threads. Make friends.

How do you define "sustainably raised"?

Hi Jacob,

I live in Central NY and I know a lot of beef cattle go down to the city, as well as a lot of lambs and goats for the Muslim populations. Are you looking for Kosher, Halal type raised animals? I work near the city about 1 time per month, and I could potentially provide chickens in the future. I'd need to know the quantity and what type you're looking for. Private Message me and perhaps we could work something out.

Dave.
