Well, we had to wait an extra week to get them processed. They understandably wont just do 24 chickens if there isnt more to be processed. Which wasnt that big of an issue since we have been raising them to 12 weeks plus for years(like small turkeys).So if anyone wants to use them I would make sure Dana is processing that week.
So the operation is in an old barn. We had to round up boxs to transport them. The crates can be purchased cheaper, but I was told they are like 70 bucks or more new. Anyways, we pulled up to the barn Tues afternoon, transfered them to crates she has available, and picked them up the next day. I unfortunatly did not go, since I had fallen offf a 13 foot ladder on my side and was and still down for a bit. All the chickens were vacuum sealed, 3.25 per bird. The birds looked good, we havent tried any yet since we still have 7 from last year. Barring some unforseen circumstance, we will be using Berkshireview Farms next year.
Thanks again caress for directing me to them. Funny thing is, our friends use to own a home adjacent to the farm, and their oldest daughter who my wife saw when she picked up the chickens hangs out thers and helps..
