    They've been doing this I'm told by a friend there. They were doing it in the Georgetown area to, where COVID-19 is running rapid through the Hispanic community. The line was nearly a mile long he said.

    All the chicken producers on the Shore are doing it. Mountaire is $1 a #. The others are 1.5-2 a #. Mountaire is doing a pre order at St. Francis de Sales Sat May 2 9am-1pm look up St. Francis de Sales church on FB.

    They're doing this because they normally sell a large percentage of processed birds wholesale to institutions and restaurants; since everyone is at home we've changed the way we buy chicken and are now buying almost completely retail through grocery stores. There currently isn't a market for birds packaged this way...

    I read farmers may need to euthanize 2 million chickens on the eastern shore because the plants won't be able to process them.

    I'd be happy to buy some at thee prices and without all the middlemen.

    Any heads up on a west shore guy trying to make my way over there for some bulk chicken...

    Sure, the consumer is still there. Just need to get it to them.

    Dumping all that milk. Veggies going to waste. Be great to connect to the source.

    I heard from my daughter in Raleigh that something similar was going on. People were lined up starting at midnight, in their cars, at the shopping center where the store is. When the truck rolled in around 8:50am the sale was done by 9:10am. Man that is some serious chicken lovers!

    Does anyone know a large chicken farm? I saw a news saying millions of chicken will be de-populated b/c processors are under-staffed.
    Perhaps I can buy a few live birds, and keep them until needed.

    I'm hoping for some hogs or a couple of calves. I just need a place that will let me shoot them at pick-up because I have a trailer.....just not for anything alive...

    If you took it an it lived, it would be a though a$$ bird. Free range birds older then 12 weeks are only good for the crock pot.

    Over 2,000,000 birds have been gassed an turned into compost so far. More then 4,000,000 eggs have been broken.

    The chicken is being sold cheap in bulk to make freezer room. When the producers can ship overseas again prices will rise.
