Feed must be withdrawn from all poultry to be processed. However, allow your poultry access to water until you catch them for transport.

Pastured poultry must be removed from pasture no less than 24 hours before slaughter. Remove access to feed between 18-24 hours before slaughter.

We recommend that you catch your birds after dark, which minimizes the stress caused during capture.

Stacyville Poultry Processing expects all poultry to be transported in a clean, humane manner, preferably inside their crates. We also allow the use of livestock trailers but will require you to help unload the birds into crates.

If additional containers are necessary, please let us know in advance so that we can have them available to you.

Please do not overcrowd creates or trailers; make sure your birds have adequate ventilation and protection from wind exposure.

Heat stress and crowding can kill poultry during transit!
