Dax you don't eat your goats /bucks ?
30-40 kg yearling will give you 14-18 kg of wonderful meat!
2$ a pound =4$ a kilo 30 kg buckling will give you 120 $ I have selld CHICKENS in this prises.

I don't keep mine to eat because I generally keep a quarter of a steer a year. With just me that is plenty of beef. Half of the steer goes to my sister and her family and I sell a quarter of my half to a friend. This year though my sister and her family had to move and are in temporary housing while their new house gets some remodeling. Therefore, I have a half to sell.

Ha ha. My building is 12 x 12, and my husband made a mess of it. It's totally not practical. I keep thinking of trying to redo it The way I wanted it to begin with. I'm interested in whether or not you are adding dividers.

I'm putting a closet in one corner, but that's it. No dividers; this is for my main flock---I'll be building multiple breeding pens and growout pens once my budget isn't bleeding from the gills any more.

Pstt... Benny... There is nowhere in the US/Canada that chickens will go for that much. Unless it's rich city slickers buying Ayam Cemanis.

Obviously not the small herdsman around here.

They can always use the quality issu. Small herdsmen have to be professional on the trade and produce the best animal they can. Pepole that surch for high quality products, like me, will pay more for good quality.

There's no water, I put rice in for 8 hours but no change, if it hasn't worked by morning maybe I'll have to go buy some charcoal too! Thanks for all the tips guys! Much appreciated to everyone!

I just had a thought (ouch!)! Have you calibrated your hygrometer?

How is the market there? Is it that there are a few chicken people that are all willing to pay crazy amounts of money, or that there are so many that want birds that the price has been driven up?
