Oh, I got rid of 6 bantam roosters today too. Gave then to a friend. So I'm down 17 birds to feed!!!

I think I over fed everyone tonight...

We have a place that does it per bird here, I think it is $3. Not for me.

$3 processed whole, $4 processed and quartered.

Very nice! There's loads of Amish here, I just don't know any yet, lol... gotta find someone...

Beer can... That is interesting about the packaging.


Ravyn.... I once took some birds to be processed at the butcher, crazy expensive... I can't remember what it was... But maybe at a total guess maybe 12 bucks per bird

It was based on a price per pound of live weight.

Robbed isn't what you got!! You got royally... ahem... (insert improper word here)!!

If you look them up a lot of people are mad because they discontinued them. I can still get them, don't have many left, definitely going to order another case or two next time. If I nuke them I like to slit them open and pile sharp cheese and pickled jalepeños on them. The whole house will smell like wood smoke.

When I buy regular Oscar Meyer hotdogs they are in a case packaged just like you would buy in a store. Oscar Meyer actually makes some with no nitrates, they taste the same as the regular ones.
I would like to say more, but we are forbidden to talk on 'social media' but I garuntee that most generic store brand cheaper products are actually made by the more expensive name brand. I don't know for sure but I think walmarts Sam's brand dog food is actually pedigree.

Edited to add they are huge too, big round as a brat and longer, mmm good!

We have old believers here.... But they don't butcher for hire as far as I know

Send the kiddos door to door with live birds...

Tell 'em to go heavy on the sad eyes...

Last quote I got was 5 a bird vacuum packed. traveling processor comes to town about once a month... woks out of some ones back yard. I haven't seen him on Craigslist in about two years though.

There is only one place I could possibly take them and that would be in the next city. Over... Probably the last butcher shop in the county... that does the whole thing I am told by one of the fellows at the feed store. The guy does livestock mostly.

for me my best bet is to learn how. and start small.

@Beer can pretty much every generic is put out by a name brand... usually you can figure out which one belongs to which by comparing where it originates from/processed at...

They don't always put it down, all Aldis stuff comes from one place, same with cambells, kraft, general mills, kellogs, etc, always same place. You can tell dairy from the code date though, but most people don't know what their state is.

Except my kids actually usually do the butchering for me.

Anywho.....

Someone just offered me spitz eggs for the price of shipping... I accepted
