We are thinking of trying our hands at some meat chickens... I am thinking heritage breed so they will need to be housed for longer, 6 months is what I am seeing...
I have read a lot about meat chickens and not needing a coop, just a run and places inside of it to roost... But what about in the winter? If the run has a roof so they are fully enclosed... will they not freeze? Winter here can get cold in Maine...
Seems like you have to have closer to 30 to turn a real profit? Sorry if this all sounds dumb, there is so many articles and opinions online I figured I'd ask the real professionals here lol!!
