Poultry Processor in Central NC

[DogChickenDad]

The poultry processor I had been using in NC (Chaudry) has sold his operation and I am not sure if the new owners will do custom jobs. The next closest processor is 3 hours away.

My wife and kids have said no to me doing the processing so I need to find someone who will. I have 15 roosters that need to be taken care of, anybody have any suggestions or leads?

Man, I feel your pain. Biggest problem around. Send wife and kids to an overnight stay and get it done.

I'm in northern Pennsylvania,if closer me and my son would come over and give you a hand. Check at your local feed mill,they know who is raising meat chickens.

I did talk to my feed store guy yesterday, he has arranged for me to get the 15 roosters to a local farmer in a couple of weeks to be processed when the farmer does his flock. I am tired of these boys assaulting my girls. They will sure be tasty in stew!

It is a shame a custom processor can't stay afloat nowadays. I was planning on growing more meat birds and selling them but now I have to rethink that idea. Seems to me a co-op could make use of a mobile processor but then again for a small bunch like mine it would not be worth the rental cost.
