Armyman, I think that this requires a two pronged answer. I am also from Indiana. I looked into this a while back, and it is murky, at best, and I'm not sure I've got it right. From what I could tell, if you process for hire, either their birds, or your birds to sell to them, you are subject...

We purchase a beef each fall from a local farmer friend. He sells it for the current market price. He doesn't charge us for delivery to the processor since he says he would have to deliver it to the market anyway. This year, we paid $1.00/lb for the 1200lb Angus, and the processing was...

When I was younger, my parents used to scald our chickens by heating water on the stove in a large pot, and taking that outside and pouring the hot water over the chicken, thouroughly getting it soaked. It seemed to work well, although I was too young to "participate". Brad

I've seen some pictures of chicken tractors, and I'm thinking that I may try one this fall for some meaties. Can you share some pictures of your tractor, and tell me what you like, and what you would do differently, with your design? Do you keep your chickens in the tractor 24X7? Do you have...

Jaku, I like your tractor. Do you coop your birds at night, or do they stay in the tractor? Thanks Brad

How does the Ranger compare in food consumption with the XCross? The Ranger is around a month longer, so the assumption is that they cost more to raise, but could be they don't eat as "hardy" as the XCross. Thanks Brad

Hoosier, can you provide more information on where your friend gets the Golden Comets? I would be interested in them!! Brad

Heh, thanks for all of your replies. Lots of good info and ideas to ponder on. I was thinking that I may order sexed chickens from hatcheries. That would lessen the roos, but would increase my initial investment. I may try raising a few next spring, and put an add on Craig's list and the...

I'm from just outside of Evansville in southwest Indiana. Anyone else close by? Brad

We purchased 5 acres, overgrown with brush, small trees, locust trees, and thorn trees. We've cleared about half so far, keeping the "good" trees. If you were to cut the trees leaving a 3' stump (used for leverage when pushing the stump for removal), cut up and burn the cut-down tree, you can...

Recently on our local Craig's List, there were a couple of adds for layers wanted. One add asked for 6, the other for 20. That got me to thinking. (that's dangerous, I know!!) I know a lot of people like to raise their layers from chicks, but apparently there are some that don't want to...
