Mid Michigan - Meat Bird Processing

[MikeMoab]

Looking for suggestions on a processor in Mid Michigan, Flint area if possible.
Thank you in advance.

Mike, if you don't get hep on this, you might try calling your county extension agent. Not sure who licenses them in Michigan but some health department (city, county, state) should have a list of who is licensed to do that. These will probably be the biggest ones, could miss smaller people that might work for you.

Can you post a notice at your feed store. Many of them have a bulletin board customers can use.

Also can you edit your thread title to add "mid-Michigan". That might attract more people that can hep you.

Good luck! This can be harder than it should be.

Thank you for the suggestions and advice. I'm finding that several of the processors I've used over the last 5 years have closed completely or stopped processing poultry. What's left are charging $5.00 per bird. I guess it's time to start processing on my own.

It's about the same up here in VT which is why I started doing my own. It gets expensive fast if you are doing a lot of birds
