Hi all,
I would like to hatch some eggs from my dp (dual purpose) birds for meat. I want to make a mobile tractor but trying to determine the sizes. I see a lot of post here say 10 sqft/bird in the run for laying hens but I’m not sure if that is due to breed or age.
So if I am specifically raising dp birds for meat what are the coop and run size requirements?
Thinking buff Orpington, barred rock, and rhode island red, not fully decided.
thanks in advance!
