So we phoned several chicken processors last week until we finally found one who could "squeeze us in". She was very kind to do so. Of course, last night our phone rings and it's the "local butcher". We were then faced with the "what to do" dilemma, do we take them to Bridgewater or do we wait and take them to the Valley. Even though Bridgewater is much closer, we have decided to wait and take them to the Valley. This kind person helped us out in a pinch, we could not disrespect that by cancelling. The only problem is, we have two birds "off their feet". They are way over due for processing. So, those two are losing weight as they cannot reach the food and water. To keep them alive and keep them from losing too much weight I have been taking food and water to them. It's sad to see them in such a state. They are soon going to be 4 months old which is quite old for a meat chicken. The ones who spend a lot of time outside seem to be doing the best, some hardly have any walking issues at all. I do not like to see them struggling.
'til next time...
