We are going to a mission conference in PA for a couple of days so we have decided to butcher our layers. I have arranged an arbattoir to process them 1 month ago. So I picked up the crates the night before and brought them to the plant last Thursday. I got a call Friday night saying they have forgotten that I was sending the hens and thus there were no inspector and no butchering. They asked me to take them back and rearranged another date. Well, my neighbour has to work that night and so I don’t have the trailer. I replied back saying I couldn’t make it and asked them to dispose the hens. So it was a waste, no free-range, farm fresh stew hens for us. I hope this year when we are going to raise 50 -100 broilers this won’t happen again.
