Hope this is the right place to post this, but I figured you folks would be the ones to know.
I don't need to have any chickens made into dinner at the moment, but I'd like to plan for when I do. I don't expect to be able to kill them myself; I just have too few of them and am too familiar with their little quirks already; if I had a bunch, it'd be a different story.
So I need to find a local processor who will take a very small number at a time. I only have 7 chickens, so 7 would be the maximum number I could bring! And of course what's more likely is to need to get rid of a pair of bad layers or something.
So, central Ohio -- anyone here who butchers small numbers? I've had an Amish man do rabbits for us before, but it's such a royal pain to coordinate schedules with someone who doesn't have a phone so I'm trying to get away from that.
