It's kinda like bringing that first baby home from the hospital!I will! I am excited and nervous all at once!
Glad everything is OK this morning. I haven't got the nerve to go check on mine yet. I have to walk down a little hill to get to my barn, and I want the sun to hit the ground for a little while and melt the ice. It won't do them any good if I fall.....not to mention me.We woke up to a temp of -5 this morning. Had some frozen water in the coop but not much else. Definitely warmer in there than it is is outside. We got the 4 inches of snow that they said we would.
So, I was dumb and ordered my meaties at a delivery of ASAP...They ship Wednesday next week. Will they be ok to go outside in February??? I know they will be mostly feathered out by then *fingers crossed*. They can't live in my basement forever! LOL

I cook it and feed it back to the chickens. I cook it because it is potentially a source of parasites. And easier for the birds to pull apart. Pure protein.I'm sure that I'm not the first person to ask this question, but what can I do with all of the innards? It just seems wasteful to throw it away. Can I compost it or something? What are your thoughts?
It will go fine-- you will learn with each batch what works for you and your set up.Well, I did it. I just placed an order for 15 meaties. I hope this goes well.
Need 8-10 weeks to grow them up. As long as they are insude, I do recommend the fermented feed method. And put them on DEEEEEP litter. A 12 x 10 stall didn't seem big enough for 15 at the end-- more shavings I think would have helped.We woke up to a temp of -5 this morning. Had some frozen water in the coop but not much else.
