Screw that. I just want a chicken.
Sell me a chicken!
I just ordered $200 plus worth of locally grown meat. Check your local farms etc.
No problem getting Chicken here in Californicator from store cooked, to raw any part and other chicken parts.
Good luck on finding cans of Tuna, Spam, any veggie from beans to corn.
Ernie Anastos can tell you what to do with that chicken! :-)
Local rural market had hundreds of chicks, roosters, and pullets for sale, no different than usual. Chicks were going for ~$1.50 a piece, depending on breed. Point-of-lay hens were a little harder to come by, but it's seasonal demand more than anything else.
We have three neighbors with producing hens and have eggs stacked to the brim. If your municipality allows it, I recommend getting a few. They produce eggs daily and are simple and cheap to care for.
Whats your bid on about a 3 or 4 pound hen, I’ll send it to you alive, you kill, pluck and gut it.
