We usually have 5-7 hens that go broody every spring/summer. Some I can break, others hatch out more layers for me, etc. I don't have room or need for more layers and would like to utilize their broodiness to fill the freezer, so to speak. I've bought hatching eggs before from various sources but I'm specifically interested in a fast maturing bird (broiler?? is that the correct term?) that we can hatch, raise, and then process for the freezer. Can anyone out there in cyberland give me a little guidance on this? What "breed" should I be aiming for; sources in piedmont/triad of NC?
Thanks so much!!
