    Done With Meat Birds

    I just did Cornish Cross, started with 75, ended with 58.... they have about a 30 % mortality rate... I spent $495.20 total, not counting the packaging to freeze them all..... it was about 1.71 a pound which is expensive when I can get roasters for .99 a pound in the store, probably will not do...
