I didn't find mine at Lowes, found it at Home Depot, aisle 47 with all the pesticides and rodent repellents.

Anyone in the Syracuse area have a good poultry processor that they use or would recommend??

Not I. I will offer " [email protected] " though. She did some for me once. Not sure what she charges now. She is in Constantia.

Lynzi -

Grrrrrrrrrrr to those god forsaken mites. Good luck getting rid of them. Ugh!! You are in quite the war with them...I know you're frustrated!!

Stony and Rancher -

Thanks for making me salivate with those food photo's. YUM! I think I will have some lunch right now!


Interesting conversations on the grass-fed cattle, etc. My husband and I have been talking about going in on pasture-raised beef with a neighbor. There is a farm in Marcellus on Rose Hill Road...considering them, if anyone has any thoughts or advice. I have to check on the name of the farm. I do like the idea of going this route for reasons spanning from health to local economy to animal/humane ethics. A timely discussion here....

My fiance and I are looking into this too, Thorpe but I don't know where they are located, Another last name that starts with a D that I can't remember now.

I think everyone was pretty far out, give me a few months and I should be getting good

If you have Amish folks nearby they might be willing to do some for you. Nuttsy from Boonesville has someone who does hers for a $1 a bird. Not a bad deal.

Hey Rancher ,
So did you butcher it yourself ? How did it go ? Did you get as grossed out as you thought you would ?
I have the men kill it & then I process the bird myself

Not yet but I expect to in the future. I won't do it without someone showing me how. I don't want to do it wrong and then lose heart.

I had mine done by an Amish butcher for $2.50 each,which I thought was pretty good.
TOB - I know of CNY Beef (I think that is the right name) in Homer. They also own Lone Birch Stables. Really nice people, beef cows are pastured on the hill in summer, have a pasture and barn in the valley for winter. Or there is Birdsall Beef in Scott, they supply some of the local establishments with beef.

I'm curious because if I cannot find a home for this splash Silkie roo, I'm seriously considering having him processed. IF I can find someone who would process a Silkie. My husband, being a chef, I'm sure would love to try Silkie chicken. If I cannot find a home for this guy that may be the end result. Maybe that would push me to add a couple more Orps and raise them to be processed for our own consumption. Hmmm decisions decisions....
