What is it? And do I need it for my small home grown flock, raised from eggs, not purchased meat chicks? When I look online at poultry processing plants it says I need to bring it in?
I have dual purpose birds and I managed to give all my Roos away last year, but KNOW I will have more this year when I hatch some eggs. I would like to process them...I figure if I'm feeding them, they might as well feed me! Im guessing from 5-10 Roos depending ?? I don't have the stomach to try it myself.
Can someone enlighten me?

to go to any abbatoir, they need a form 300.
the form is to be provided to you by the hatchery.
the form was online but I can't find it now.

Yes, you will need the form. To get it, go to
https://www.familyfoodgrower.ca/Registration , click the Family Food Grower tab, fill it out and you're done. Form 300 will be e-mailed to you within 2 business days, and you print it off when you're ready to take in your extra chickens. :lunch:
Another thing you may need, is a poultry transport crate...most processors will not take chickens if they're in anything else. Some places offer a crate loan/rental, but those places are few and far between.

DO I need anything for turkeys? Processing here is getting old really fast.

No forms needed unless you plan to process more than 50, in which case you have to register with TFO and buy a quota.
