Modest Poultry & Eggs

Here we are transitioning again into another phase of treatment. I've posted an update on the green page below.

Hi, most of you know me already but for those who don't, I'm Amber. Kurt and I have been together for… Amber Joseph needs your support for Ouch! My cancer!

Hey everyone, I know this page has been inactive for a long time, but I've kept it because of all the fond memories.

Now it's going to serve another purpose. You'll see in the link below that I have stage 4 colon cancer that has spread to my liver. I came home from the hospital Wednesday and today I have to go back for a pet scan.

Once I've recovered from my surgery more I'll be starting 6-8 weeks of chemo, then another surgery (ies) on my liver if the chemo reduces the lesions enough.

If you've ever smiled because of one of our videos or had a delicious breakfast or took something to a party using our eggs, please please please consider donating whatever you can.

I'm currently on FMLA and that's going to run out so I'll be faced with working while undergoing chemo (I know lots of people do) or focusing 100% on recovery. Again, anything would help and if you can't, please send it along. I still have a long road ahead and I am hopeful, but reality doesn't always take hope into account.

93lbs of chicken per person annually. That's 30.5 BILLION pounds of chicken annually. If we figure an average weight of a chicken at 6.41 # (Cornish cross breed, per National Chicken Council data) that comes to nearly 4.8 billion chickens. 95% of which is produced by 30 companies that contract with 25,000 "family" farms. There is something wrong with the farm system in this country and change starts locally.

Chicken is the No. 1 protein consumed in the United States. Americans consume more chicken than anyone else in the world.

As per usual, you folks don't disappoint! We have11 of these guys out the door this week! That's is a lot of work until we purchase an auto-plucker. So we can't process anymore this week to be able to deliver by Saturday. If you already paid, you're good for this week. If not, it will be next Saturday the 19th of June.

Clear as mud? Good ;-)

But still first come first serve. So come get the remaining 13 Yummy Boys!

As I am talking to you all about chickens, I have been asked if we break it down or if the bird is whole. The $12 per bird price is for the whole bird, $15 for broken down to skin-on breasts, wings, legs with thighs and then the bones for stock.

The way I handle this as a consumer is to roast the whole bird first. That can be supper and then some good soup using the carcass, or you can pull the meat off for enchiladas, chicken salad, pulled bbq chicken, etc etc.

The video below shows what goes into actually breaking down a whole bird. Remember the demonstrator has processed 10's of 1000's of birds, but it is doable.

If you'd like us to do it, there would be an additional fee. This wasn't something we were planning on offering, but what kind of business owner would I be if I didn't explore all my options.

These boys are ready to go. They're very happy, healthy chickens. They ate very well and drank a lot of water. They got kitchen treats this morning and there's not a scrap left.

If you've already reached out to me, I will message you.

If you haven't yet, why not?

I've been going nonstop. I had to clean out the stall and get food and water ready. Get your chickens ordered, they're likely to go real fast.

Edit: we're going to hold them till Sunday to make sure they're healthy, then we will start taking payments. If you've requested some we will reach out to you then like we do with egg messages.

Life is funny sometimes. Sometimes it gives you lemons, sometimes it gives you chickens! 🐔🍗

$12/bird, taking preorders contingent on me checking this place out. 20 birds, maybe more, first come first serve! See below for more details!

Another weekend fully scheduled! Thank you so much for keeping this incredible pace up.

Also, several of you have left us tips and I just want to reiterate, while they are indeed appreciated, they are not expected. I just don't want anyone thinking they have to tip us like you would Pizza Hut or something. Again, appreciated always(!) but no pressure or expectation.

We are scheduling for the rest of June's Saturdays (12th, 19th & 26th) then we are taking off the weekend of July 3rd. I feel like there's something going on that weekend but I just can't remember.....

This weekend is closed, all booked up, finito, done! Thank you all so much. We still have a few openings for 06/05, 06/12 and 06/19 is pretty much wide open.

Can't ask for better clients. Thanks for making the first half of a rough year brighter and better. Looking forward to finishing the year strong!

Runny yolks are so delicious, even though I'm taking my life into my own hands...🙄
