your best bet for a meaty is simply to buy them, there are both fast and slow broilers available and overall will be less resource consuming in the process. These companies have spent billions in developing birds that develop consistantly and they are very hard to beat. You don't even have to settle for white the slow broilers come in colors too.
They (the chickens) are my gardeners too. The chicken moat will need foragers to kill the grass before it gets into the main garden, and it will be planted in vine plants (over there heads) and I don't want to have to process huge numbers at at time (like raise 20 all together and butcher all together).
The chicken garden has worked so well this year this is going to be an extension of that. I was also thinking the NN would be easier to pluck. The slow broilers may work w/ my plan.
GREAT idea! I am always fighting grass.
