I need to figure something else out though, where the heck am I going to 4 40 pound turkeys and 175 pounds of pig?

K, can you break down how many meat chickens you bought, how long you kept them, and approx. how much you fed them? It seems like you didn't have them all that long, only built them a tractor, and they provided a ton of meat.

Chest freezer? Keep an eye on craigslist would be my recommendation. Or maybe bone a few of the chickens out to get the size down. I know that is sacrilege to some, just throwing out some ideas.

not a bad idea, I was thinking of pressuring canning some as well to clear out some space

20 birds = 30 dollars
Feed 9 Bags = 126 dollars
Slaughtering= 60 dollars
total of 216 dollars
we lost one bird a couple weeks ago so it works out to 11.36 a bird, if I slaughtered myself, would have been 8.21 a bird. Also the last couple weeks they were going through almost 2 bags of feed a week, I could have slaughtered earlier and saved even more.
Was talking to one of my high school friends the other day and he couldn't understand why I would do it, kept saying he could go and get chicken at store for .89 cents a pound, I stopped trying to discuss the benefits of it.
