I'm thinking about buying meat birds this year, but I just don't think that I can do the killing. I'm hoping to find someone that does the processing around here. I'm willing to split the meat. I'm new to the whole "thinking about chickens for meat instead of eggs" business, but the cost of food is horrible around here!! What type of chickens should I buy for meat?
Either Cornish Cross or Freedom Rangers would be good for a beginning meat bird grower.
And if you don't think you can butcher yourself, I think you should find someone to butcher BEFORE you order the birds.
