Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds
How much did they weigh before you processed them? And these really could not be meat birds at 9 weeks and dressing out at 2lbs. I would check with whom you bought them from.- nmantime

Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds
I will have to join in a add that with 50 chicks in brooders in the Garage the DW is not complaining about the farm smell coming in from the garage as she has "every" time before as i raised chicks in there.

Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds
I have been following this thread for awhile as I have been waiting for my birds. This method of feeding was very interesting to me.

Vacuum Sealers
Like others have already mentioned, i would not buy the vacum food saver for storing chickens whole or in parts. I have the dual pump model and it really never gets used for any meat packaging. I use the heat shrink bags from cornerstone-farm.com. They have bags in varying sizes from 6.5 x 11 up...- nmantime
