You find them all over the world, and now you can find one in Long Beach too... A live poultry market. Thats right, live chickens, turkey and rabbits are all awaitng their destiny at the new PCH Poultry and Market. The animals aren't processed (killed) until they are ordered by a customer, talk about fresh! You can get a chicken whenever you want, but if you want to hand-pick your thanksgiving dinner you needed to do it yesterday. Take a peek inside the market >>
Whats Does the Turkey have to be Thankful for?
