I have a 12x12 chain link chicken run, with 3 feet of hardware cloth up the sides to protect from predators. I have three hens living there.
Yesterday, I separated off a section in which to raise 4 6-week-old chicks. The cordoned off section is about 3x3 with 3 foot chicken wire.
Last night...
I have backyard hens that I keep for eggs, and I'm thinking about raising a few birds for meat. I would like to discuss kosher slaughter with someone in New England/New York who might be willing to teach shechitah to someone who is an ordained rabbi but who does not have kabbalah in shechitah...
