Just found out about this and wanted to share with BYC in case anyone else might need their services. I havent called them yet since I dont have enough roo's to process yet, so I dont know the prices. Here is what I have via my Ag dept here in Placer county Ca-
Sierra Foothills Mobile Poultry Processer (MPPU)
The Sierra Foothills MPPU Offers a complete poultry processing facility that can be transported to your property. The MPPU is a trailer containing all of the equipment and facilities necessary for processing all types of poultry.
Entirely self-contained, it can be transported to your farm to process chickens, ducks, pheasants, turkeys, geese, and other poultry. Poultry processed in the MPPU can be sold directly to consumers at farmers markets, through community supported agriculture, and from the farm.
Youth poultry exhibitors can also offer processed poultry to their junior livestock auction buyers.
The MPPU is owned by the High Sierra Resource Conservation and Development Counsel, and managed jointly by High Sierra, UC Cooperative Extention and Sierra College.

I hope this helps anyone who may need their services. I dont know the prices for processing, but if anyone finds out before I do- please let us know here on this thread. If you have dealt with this business, please share your experiences with us.
I think its pretty neat that you can sell your poultry pretty much anywhere after they do the processing. Of course, maybe I could do that anyways, I just dont know the rules about that. I dont plan on selling any of my own I may have them process (if I decide to use their services), I plan to EAT them myself!
