Intro post

[Cottonstead]

We are new to homesteading but not new to farm and ranch life. While we sit and have our Sunday afternoon visit about what's ahead, I was asked about butchering chickens and what age is best. A quick Google search brought me to backyardchickens.com and we are so happy to be here

Hello, and welcome to BYC. Age of butchering is dependent upon the breed being raised. Cornish X and other meat breeds are ready sooner than dual purpose breeds. Go to the "Meat Birds ETC" section of the forums for more information.
