We have an acre in Tucson..I want to do meat birds..the men in the family are the squeamish ones but my BIL did say he was game & would help do the processing.
Sell it to me please. Tell me how great it is..or what I REALLY need to know.
If I was going to do 25 birds at a time..and I pay $18 for a bag of 50lb feed...plus water and such...in the end..what is one of these chickens costing me? And yes, I know it is healthier..but I need to break this down somewhat to get them to go for it..heck..I am doing most of the work!
Show me your meat bird coops. This is AZ..we are talking frame and wire..do they still need as much space as egg birds?
I come from a hunting family...my grandparents raised cattle to butcher...frog legs in the fridge...I WANT TO DO MEATIES!!
