Thanks everyone. My son wanted to show meat pen chickens and not knowing anything about them , our Assistant Leader gave us 5 to start out with. These chicks trived and he did real well at Fair with them. I didn't realize they grew so quickly and after Fair realized they needed to go, so here they are. Yes, I guess we are we are proud of our efforts. I am a single parent and me and my kids, along with a cousin, processed these chickens on our own. I even ordered 4 more and will be repeating this process in 16 weeks. Of course, I have to thank everyone on this forum for posting their knowledge and experience as I used it in learning and was able to process my own chickens with it. Thanks.
