No one processes up here. The closest is Mass and they charge $5 per
chicken. I'm not paying that. Processing is part of the whole
experience for me.

Now $7 for a 30 pound turkey I would happily pay.

Where in MA do they process?

I live in MA and would love to raise a batch of meaties,but the idea of processing that many is too much

the place i took mine is in New Bedford Ma.
they charge 7.50 a turkey and 5.00 for chickens -n- ducks
the sad thing is they will be close up shop this coming Dec. which is next month, so looks like i be doing my own if I can't fine another butcher shop​

We used the rotiserrie for for one of our small turkies the other night and
still have leftovers. We were over my wife's family today, almost ready
to eat a 20 pound deep fried bird when her brother and I decided to
have some words. He grabbed me by the shirt and I sorta well, punched
him in the face. It cut our day short. We wen't home. I'm done. Thank
God I'm an only child.

Next year I'm having a Chickenstock at my house so people who actually
want to hang out together can have a nice Thanksgiving.

Bummer man! I tolerated mine and made it out of there ok. I'm the oldest of eight kids. It gets crazy at times.

A prison nearby does animal butchering/processing. They charge $2.60 for a turkey. Bring them in one day, pick them up the next.
You have to schedule with them well in advance.
