Title: Chicken friendly abattoir
Post by: fleehill on October 16, 2021, 14:27

Could anyone tell me of an abattoir not too distant from Bude which will process 3 cockerels for me.
Many thanks. - Richard

I am not sure if we have any forum members near you fleehill, so you might not get an answer.

If you decide to do this yourself, there are a couple of threads in this section about how to go about it.  They were started by Bodger and Muntjac and are on page 2.

Many thanks for the reply. I don't think I could do it myself as I hatched them out and got quite fond of them.

That is quite a common one when people have hatched their own chicks.

If you can't find an abattoir, it may be worth asking at local farm shops or farmers markets.  Anyone selling meat might have a contact for you.

Ask the local butcher

People who may be willing to assist.

Your regular butcher
A game keeper
Certainly a chef will show you how to pluck and draw your birds.
