Question is will they eat them? Also thats a lot of harvesting, I know the turkeys in my area eat the acorns whole but would the still eat them with the bitterness? I have contemplated supplementing chicken feed with acorns for a while. Even considered building a hand cranks rolling mill for 'em.

Be Content. And work for more time, not money. Money is inconsequential.
I've watched the birds and pigeons in one of the larger towns near me feed heavily on crushed acorns, the live oak is used a lot around here as a landscaping tree around parking lots, cars and hard pavement supply the crushing part and the birds are more than happy to clean up the mess. I don't know how much could be fed before the tannic acid became a problem though or even if would in poultry.
I'd appreciate it if you pronounced my name correctly. Pinhead, with a silent "H". Petite ad:
