Hi! This is my first time raising chickens besides helping my mother with her flock when i was a kid. My chicks are coming in early may. I'm getting some layers and some meat birds. I'm having trouble finding a local butcher here in my area (southwest area of Michigan). Any help would be great! Thanks, Bonnie
Try to find an Amish Farm, we have an amish man that butchers for $2 a bird. You just drop them off and pick them back up in an hour or two. You just take a cooler with you and have ice in it and he does the rest. Hopefully you can find an Amish man.
Try your local extension office and feed store. I learned to do it myself by putting an ad on craigslist, and a nice man showed me how. - be careful.
