I keep chickens for eggs and have thought about raising meat birds. Since Emma is now eating raw I've decided to try a batch of meat birds.
I will order 25 meat chicks and raise them for 8 weeks then process for the freezer. It will be interesting to see if it is cost effective. The chicks are 2.20 each. Not sure what feed will run for meat birds.
I built their enclosure with all recycled materials. I will need to buy some screen to make the door but everything else was lying around.
I'll keep you all posted when I get the birds.
