I'm not qualified to process them efficiently, so I take them to a nearby Mennonite lady who charges me $2 a head to do it. But I have no problem eating them. I'd rather eat my nice healthy, happy birds than those poor abused ones at the grocery store. Too bad I can only raise half a dozen or so a year, we don't have room for more. Someday maybe. Lol, DGD said a fb friend asked her how she felt about eating one she'd raised and she answered, "yum!"Didnt you tell me theres no way you could eat your chickens or was that someone else ? I havent had a good chicken noodle soup in a long while. I could probably get a free roo. I also love home made bread ! expecially w/ soups and stews
