Anyone know if the Beaumont show is still happening March 25th this year?

Anyone near Fort Worth offering services to dispatch/process chickens? We have one aggressive rooster, confirmed by multiple people, that needs to go. So just one, not a whole flock or anything. This is the first time we are doing this so an observer or someone just to guide through this process once (to not inflict any unnecessary suffering onto the rooster and not to waste meat) and then we would be comfortable doing it from on forward. I had one person who flaked on me and another person who refused to invite me into a homestead group simply because I didn't have a full FB profile (loathe social media). Youtube is not a substitute for this type of thing, at least in my view.

Try googling "organic meat" in your area. Call and ask. I know that some will slaughter as well as process, and if not, they may be able to refer you to someone who will.

Tried that before. The one guy who used to do it now doesn't and all the rest only know more info you have cattle.

Have you considered putting an ad on Craigslist?
(Of course some luney might show up with an ax, a stained apron, a mask, and a bad attitude. )

Yes… and no.

Yes I had met someone via FB’s marketplace by accident. They are *between* You and I geographically speaking…. If I recall correctly, vaguely around Roanoke or Keller iirc (if I recall correctly) … I will search my messenger archives tonight to see if I can find that person who I got some stuff from about a year ago. It’s their neighbor who was/is still apart of some type of backyard chicken group(s) and they appearantly will do this as well as tech you to do it. I have a few Roo’s I need to process. I just haven’t reached that stage of being able and ready to deal with it yet. I’m a veteran working on ptsd stuff still.

Not my idea off a fun weeks forecast to look forward to:

 

[janiedoe]

The weather here is pretty gross today. It is wet and muddy and our ponds are overflowing. That's not so bad, considering how low they were a few weeks back. We are still considered to be in a moderate drought here.

 

[NagemTX]

Yeah, rain and cold. Please one or the other mother nature.

Got the pallets/crates. Actually, boxes 34 inch square and 2 ft deep. Looks like stapled together, but very heavy, about 70 lbs. They have a floor.
