Things to know:
Minimums & Maximums:
In order to operate the unit, we require a full batch of 250 chickens, 75 turkeys, or 125 rabbits. This minimum does not have to be met by a single producer/person--it could be met by a combination of producers/people.
Prior to processing, animals should be:
- Crated (No cardboard boxes & not loose in the back of a truck). Need crates? Ask us.
- Free from food, grass, grit for 12-18 hours
- Well hydrated
- Absent from disease or sickness
We will:
- Butcher, dress, bag, weigh, and label your birds.
- Compost offal, including giblets (heart, liver, neck, feet), unless you specify otherwise (giblet harvest costs 25¢/part/bird)
- Charge extra for oversize animals (chicken: 9# live weight, turkey: 35# live weight). They are hard on our bodies,, cause extra wear and tear on our equipment, and they take extra time to handle.
- Turn away turkeys with a live weight of over 40#. This is the weight capacity of our machinery.
Thank you!
