@burgerusmc we have had great luck with Meyer Hatchery. My husband and I will raise and process about 120 Cornish cross this season.
Right now we have about $4-5/bird. We buy them 50+ at a time and that's cheaper because the hatchery has a price break for bigger orders.
If you want their "fry pan bargain" they are 30c each and take longer to reach processing time but a good starter for anyone who hasn't processed their own before.
Currently our 25 day old CX are weighing in right around 2lb.

We just got our first Broad breasted turkeys and are interested in Cornish Cross for 4H kids & for us personally as well. Love the breakdown of costs as it is definitely a concern; don't want to get in over our heads!
Update:
Got my birds back today, numbers are great!
Average over 42 birds 4.75 lbs @ 7 weeks of age
Total processing charge $140
If we add that to the pet bird cost we have a final expense per bird: $ 8.45
I think these numbers are outstanding and what I'm striving for. Good luck with your chickens
