I am not far from you at all! Just about 10 miles from Rockford!
What kind of chickens do you have?
I currently have 9 bantam cochin hens and 1 rooster, two americauna hens (they will be finding a new home soon) and 20 Vantress chickens which I refer to as my little "meat nuggets"
This will be my husband's first time butchering chickens and I am being very careful not to get attached to them! I also have 4 call duck eggs in the incubator that I am crossing my fingers to hatch.
What kinds do you all have? I'm still searching for a few more bantam cochin hens - eventually I'd like to have one of every color and so far I have a black, blue, lavender, penciled, silver laced, barred, patridge, buff, and white.
