We look forword to meeting you next year!

 We Only service VT at this time. 2025 Bookings start March 1st. This Year There will be many appointment options please read carefully when filling out the questions. 

Please read the message below as they are very important!

Here are our rules for processing.

1. All birds are to be without feed for at least 18-24 hrs. This makes everything stay clean and makes the process go faster. Failure to do so will cost an extra $0.25 Per bird.

2. We need to have plenty of running water and a place to hook up our hoses. Without water there will be no processing. They can have water and if they are in tractors and still eat grass that is fine. 

3. Power must be available we need power for our equipment.

4. If chickens are over 12 - 14 lbs they will have to be put into turkey bag's and the cost of the bags will be charged extra to cover the cost ($1.75 Per Bag). This is the only part of packaging that isn't covered in the cost.

5. We ask that the birds are easy to grab and are not far away from the processing area. We do not charge by the hour, and if we have to take even more time to catch or chase birds. There maybe a small fee added to your bill to pay our helpers for their time.  

6. Ice is not included in the price of birds. As it is to difficult to predict the amount of ice needed on a given day do to temperature and the number of poultry. This will be charged on the invoice at the end of the processing.

7. If you cancel we can not garentee you will get back on our schedule. Due to our scheduling we are working 5 days unless we have other obligations. 

8. Due to high volume of phone calls don't be discouraged if we don't answer right away. We will call you when we are free.

9. All Packaging is included unless what it is stated above happens.

10. Overly large Turkeys that have to be plucked one at a time will be an extra cost we ask that people raise their Turkeys to 12 to 16 weeks at most you want a 22 pound bird or less. We will not cut them up for you they have to fit in our poultry bags and if they don't you are responsible for figuring out what to do with them. If a big turkey breaks our plucker you assume all repairs at your expense.

Also............

I will call you the week of your appointment to get the total number of birds and the type of the birds. Please get back to me as soon as you can if i miss you. This helps me get my helpers lined up in case I have to do a lot of birds. Also feel free to call me after you book and give me your total you ordered or you plan on hatching your self. Small disclamer the only water fowl that pluck fast and easy and you'll get the best bang for your buck is Pekin Ducks and the Embden Geese. All other waterfowl do not pluck all the way and there can be feathers that we can not get.

We hope your season is plentiful and cant wait to see you next year!
