    Best practices for ethical meat birds raising

    Talk to me about ethical meat birds practices. This is my first year processing. I'm learning a lot as I go. We got 5 cornish× because that's what there seemed to be the most information about and they were most accessible to me. But I'm not going to lie, they're kinda making me depressed...

    Advice needed for predator proofing this

    Hey :)

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I am new to chickens but I've been wanting them since probably 2015. We just didn't have a good location for them until recently. I've spent the last 10 years researching best practices for predator proofing! I got my first flock...
