Hi, I am new here. I am from SC and stay at home with my 2 daughters, 4 and 18 months old. I am considering raising chickens for meat. I have no experience with poultry. I worry about my girls not liking the whole killing and eating thing. My father had beef cattle when we were growing up and we did not butcher them. I realize now that if I'm willing to eat meat, I should be okay with raising my own. So just wondering what folks think about children's reactions to eating the chickens. I know meat birds wouldn't be around long, and I could work at keeping the children from getting attached, etc. Any thoughts would be helpful! Thanks!
