Just had a few questions. I wanted to raise a meat pen of chickens for our fair in late august. What breed of chickens do I buy? Will they be ready (if I buy chicks now) to show by august 26 ish? I've never showed a meat pen and would appreciate any input :)
Hi everyone,
I'm new to backyard chickens as well as raising chickens. I'm thinking about doing a chicken meat pen as a 4h project in the fall but have no clue on how to start (ex: how old do I get chicks? What breed? Hen or rooster? Etc.) I'm more familiar with showing pigs goats sheep...
