    Plucker rental in nj?

    There is a thread on here about how a guy made a plucker for really cheap. It was a hand drill PVC and some rubber straps. U might consider looking in to it. Not in nj but I haven't heard of plucker rentals here in Cali and we are in farm country. Just my two cents :)

    Deworming meat birds

    Nope, u butcher rh at such a young age there really isn't a need. Just make sure to keep their coop decently clean and give them clean access to water food.
