Hi, this comming spring im wanting to start raising free range meat birds to sell, how do i go about this legally so i dont run into any problems. I process at a USDA approved butcher shop but i dont know any further legalities that i need to know or do before i start.
Thanks for any help.
I have 12 laying hens and 7 pullets, today i found a tiny egg along with the usual ones I get, the hens are well past the pullet egg stage and my young pullets are just going into week 14, is it possible to get and egg from the pullets? I put it next to the smallest two from today. Its only 1/3...

This is an egg that came from the same batch of chickens that the eggs I incubated, any help determining if its fertilized or not, I noticed a slight bullseye but I am still a newbie, Thanks!
How old does my Buff Orpington rooster have to breed my hens, and once they are bred, how long until the eggs are firtile?
As well as how old until hens can be bred?
Thanks
