I have heard Bresse chickens are one of the best tasting chickens. Problem I have is I can’t have any roosters so I’m hesitant to raise meat birds…. my luck I’d end up with all roosters
I'm more about the sustainability part. Process for the freezer and keep breeders for next years stock. With the right feed i know they can get to a good size
Seems more sustainable than ordering meat chicks and I can't have roosters and if i remember right the cocks are quieter. My grandfather and uncle raised 20k for game clubs and now my aunt/cousins run the farm. Spent many many days on the farm with my uncle/grandfather.. good times
Whats your experience breeding/marketing them ? Thinking of trying a new venture in meat birds. Getting some for ourselves but figure I can hatch and sell some chicks for a bit of $$. Oh great here I go again with more chickens :barnie
16 Swedish Flower Hens and 13 Icelandic's going in the incubators. Just bought a second one so I can keep them separate :gigWaiting till after this big storm hits us to do it just incase we loose power. Very excited for this new adventure
I had seen a place in Rhode Island advertising on Craigslist. Not sure if your near RI border. Was thinking of raising a bunch and taking them there. Then I can do other things around the farm and leave it to people who do it all the time
We had 20+ mph winds for 2 days and my chickens came out once maybe. They had the option but just decided to stay in. They'll be fine. Like Walking ON Sunshine said" hang a cabbage" to keep them busy. That reminds me I need to hang another one in my coop. Good luck
