whats the average time from birth to slaughter= 5 to 6 months depends how big you want them

How big of a pen would I need= well that just depends on how much you want them to move around.

how high does the fence need to be= it can be no more than 3 feet I have always used hog panels and they are like 32 inches..just build them strong..cause they are very smart and if you leave them a chance to get loose they will.

Wayne and Lynn can give more pointers, I would say that I haven't had more than about 15 or 20 in my life time
and learn something new with each one.

Ive got a pumkin hen running around here, she is crazy as they come lol. Guess thats why she is a great freeranger. She is either 1/2 hatch/pumpkin or pure pumpkin I cant remember. The stag I got with her was something special though He was 1/2 pumpkin and 1/2 hatch also, broke my heart when a dog got him. He was a no nonsense stag and would take the bully's on I got running around here (2 guineas, the male is a chicken fighter). He was a great looking stag to, need a few paychecks under my belt so I can replace him and hte frost grey I lost.
