Does anyone have a butcher shop process their chickens? I am very interested in raising meat birds next year but I am pretty sure I would have trouble doing the deed myself and if we did it ourselves I'm not sure I could mentally get around it enough to eat them lol. I am well aware of where food comes from, I have ate plenty of animals that friends have raised, named, and butchered but for myself its hard to get my head around ha! So I'm wondering if you have used a butcher to process your birds, did it at least balance out to be approximately the same cost as going to the store and buying chicken? I don't think we would want to do it if the cost of feed and then the butchering ended up being double quality grocery store meat. So just trying to get an idea before I approach my husband about expanding our coop and run lol
