I have 7 chickens(5 RIRs[2 of which are Roos] and 2 Black Sex links). The hens are my layers. I'm in the process of culling the roos for the freezer. In doing this I am learning to process chickens by practicing on the roosters and have been wondering what would be a decent number of meat birds to get and raise and to where its worth it? I was thinking somewhere in the 10-20 range and that could fill the freezer for most of the winter. Feeding a family of 5 too by the way if that matters....give me your thoughts.
