I raised meat chickens last year just to find out if I wanted chickens. I was sad when it came time to put them in the freezer because I really liked having them. I will be getting my layers next week, am really excited about that. I am getting Dark Brahmas, also the following week, getting my first batch of meat birds again. Probably doing two or three batches this year, raising some for a couple of friends just because I can.
