Chronicles of Raising Meat Birds - Modern Broilers, Heritage and Hybrids

Find someone who has those egg's and I'll hatch them.

Is there an egg you won't hatch?

Is there an egg you won't hatch?

Yep, no Bantam's or snakes.

Yep, no Bantam's or snakes.

Even Cornish bantams?

Even Cornish bantams?

I have the room on my property, but I don't want to have to build a separate pen just to put Bantam's in.

Ahj, okay, that makes sense. I thought just because they were bantams. The Cornish bantams work for me cause I can breed for show and just eat the ones that don't fit and they get big fast. Mine were hatched in the middle of March and already pretty close to full size for some and at full size for most

I just breed here for purpose, not for show.

Yeah, it seems a lot of people do. I like the idea of showing, so if figured that Cornish would be good because again, they're more meat birds than egg birds and they're small enough that I can do the butchering myself but aren't skin and bones like my egg laying breeds

I don't have anything against other's raising for show. It's just not for me. Good luck with showing your's!

Thanks. This summer some are going to my last 4H show and then hopefully next year shows are starting back up and I can get NPIP Certified to go out of state with them

Same here. I love seeing others show birds, but it’s not for me. I just like crossing my purebreds and creating meat birds and layers.

I’m back up to 9 eggs a day! Plus 3 quail eggs!
