Is that on the Eastern Shore
I was just read for some reason chicken farmers will be killing 2 million chickens
No processing capacity. Too many people calling in "sick", or afraid to work (aka getting more money on unemployment than working).
Are they selling live chickens?
Culling 2 million.

They are also ramping down the hatcheries as well. It takes 3-4 months to ramp back up, so we will have another chicken shortage until staffing resumes, and the chicken population scales back up.
They are selling frozen chicken at these sales mentioned here.
Damn, if I was closer I'd be trying go buy 12 or 15 live birds for a couple bucks apiece and butcher them myself.
The producers (Perdue/Tyson/Amick/Mountaire/Allen Harim) would never sell you a live unprocessed bird.
USDA rules Im sureBut isn't this at the big chicken houses where the growers are raising the birds for these producers?
I'm sure your right, if a house has a thousand birds that were due at the processing plant every week then my trying to keep a dozen or two from being wasted would just be a waste of time on their part. However if 100 people were to take 10 live birds for their own consumption that would save a lot of food from being wasted.
USDA rules Im sure
They should send trucks all around md
I think that’s a great way to get food to those who don’t want to stand n lines to get in and out of grocery stores
They had a sale today at Homestead Gardens, but the weblink was broken and we didn't want to head down with having a pre-order on the books.
