I have a good healthy flock consisting of barred rocks, black copper marans, lavender copper marans, lavender ameraucanas, gold laced polish, a few silkies, Delewares, and white leghorns.
Im now wanting to get into meat birds.. I was going to get a good white cornish roo and breed him to white rocks and produce my own broilers... BUT after reaearch ive found that a white cornish is very hard to find, and it occurred to me the meat industry has excelled their line of birds to make what they sell in stores and you cant just breed a cornish and get that meat bird like you buy in the grocery store..
Ive read and read and it is starting to seem like its just easier, cheaper in the long run, and more efficient to just buy broiler chicks and raise them out...
Whats the consensus?
And whats the tricks to raising out broilers for meat/guide to raising broilers...?
