[marko15]

Hello All, I'm new to backyard chickens , but just wanted to let you know that I am starting a poultry processing business (shooting for May 1)in North Central Pennsylvania (Tioga County) I will be processing at my house and I will also be going mobile. If you or anyone you know are interested , please email me your name and address and I will send you out a pricelist.

Well, I guess this try at the poultry processing business is not going to get off of the ground. I ran out of money for startup costs and there is none coming in and there are too many roadblocks for me , so I'm taking it from the Lord that he doesn't want me to pursue this at this time but maybe at a later time.

Well I butchered 65 chickens yesterday, The first 8 were like small turkeys , I guessing is the 12-15 lb range, they had at least an inch or more of fat between the skin and the meat, then I did 16 more small ones between 9-12 weeks old, that went better, then later in the afternoon I did about 41 that were arounfd 9 weeks old (just the right size) and that was a breeze compared to the morning birds. My Whizbang plucker can really pluck them birds and I'm glad I have it!!

Wow, what an enterprising idea to go mobile with a business like that! I would certainly make use of it and raise meat birds. Too bad you're not near here.
Best of luck!!
