Wow, people complain that $25 is too much for a whole chicken? At the grocery, you pay about $3 per pound for butchered chicken. So, I'm guessing a whole bird is about 10 lbs (is that accurate?), which would make your price about $2.50 per pound. Maybe I'm just used to city prices, but that seems very reasonable to me.

- zach_garwood 4y agoLooks I vastly overestimated how much a chicken weighs. We had chickens when I was growing up, but I guess they seem a lot bigger and heavier when you're only three feet tall.
