    Should I order 100 meat chickens?

    I tried to process my pekin ducks today, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I had it all set up and I had a duck hung upside down, but I was afraid of making a mistake since I have never done it before. I posted on my local craigslist hoping to find someone near Tilton, NH to teach me how...

    Should I order 100 meat chickens?

    They finally arrived. I got 26 and one died about two hours after arrival. I wasn't surprised though, it was much smaller than the others and didn't seem capable of walking. Processing day is set for July 30th. I'll have a team of four people helping and I am hoping to get all 25 done in a...

    Should I order 100 meat chickens?

    I have a chest freezer just for the chickens. I hope that it is enough space. The only issue is going to be finding a place for them to sit for 3 days. I definitely don't have the space for that at the moment, so I will have to think about it.

    Should I order 100 meat chickens?

    I was a little bit concerned about the heat, but I am going to place them in a wooded area and it hasn't really been hot here yet, so it should be okay. It'll get hot later, but it usually doesn't go much above 90 in NH.

    Should I order 100 meat chickens?

    Hello again everyone, I just placed an order with Welp Hatchery for 25 cornish x. They had free shipping, so I ended up only paying about $45, which is what I was wanting to spend. Free shipping on live poultry is the best thing since sliced bread.

    Should I order 100 meat chickens?

    This is my first time raising and processing meat chickens. Do you mean you were half dead from physical strain?

    Should I order 100 meat chickens?

    Fair enough. I guess I won't do 100. I still wonder how one hatchery can offer them for 86 cents each while virtually all other hatcheries charge over $2 apiece.

    Should I order 100 meat chickens?

    How much do you think it would cost to take 100 cornish X to eight weeks? I estimated $400 at $17 a bag, which is what I pay at the local TSC.

    Should I order 100 meat chickens?

    I see. I wouldn't mind sticking to 25, but it just seems like a waste to order 25 when it's only a little bit more to get 100. I'll have to think about it for a few days. Processing 100 chickens seems like it would take a whole weekend.

    Should I order 100 meat chickens?

    Processing them would probably be myself, my fiancee, and a friend of ours. Do you think that is sufficient for 100 birds?

    Should I order 100 meat chickens?

    Hello everyone, I am trying to decide whether or not I should order 100 broiler chicks. I have been comparing prices/cost of shipping between multiple hatcheries and I am torn. I can order 25 red rangers from Murray McMurray for $70.96 including shipping, or I can order 100 cornish x from a...
