First let me say that I have some good dual purpose birds. I have 3 silver Laced Wyandotte, 3 Rhode Island Red, 1 Barred rock, 1 Golden Wyandotte. Im aware that when they are older they make good stew meat. But I dont want to eat stew all the time. I want some good meat and eggs. So im looking into getting some meat birds. So my question is will my current flock need to be separated from the meat birds. Im sure they eat different food so Im guessing they will need to be separate.
