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 rabbits etc so if someone could help me out id appreciate it . I couldn't figure out how to use the forums so sorry if I'm posting in the wrong area or if this has already been asked !
