What eats your lawn?

We picked up 97 chicks in spring and yes they love grass. It's like a 70's thing...anticipation.
They are big now from eating grass and bugs and crickets ect.
I called a few local processors and yea, all booked. Looks like we'll be buying a defeather-errrrr. (Sp)? A spinny thing with tickelers.
I had a joke I made up but now forgot just a second ago. It wasn't why the chicken crossed the road nor the one about the prossie exclaiming that any cocktail will do.
Sorry, OK, back to the yardwork.

An update to the above. We picked up 61 chickens from a processer in northern Illinois yesterday at the cost of 3.90 per bird.
We started with 90, sold ten to a friend and lost the rest to coyotes and hawks.

How much do you pay for your chicks?

Or do you just rent them?
