Hi all!
So hubs and I have tossed back & forth getting meat birds since last year.
But we have been discussing it a bit more & I would love for some advice and questions answered from seasoned raisers.
1. What's the best number to get to start? 10? 20? 50?
2. What breed is best? I personally do not like the CornishX ones. I have thought of the Rangers.
3. Best type of feed? We would be raising them on grass along with feed; moved daily so that might influence the type of bird, also.
4. Hatchery? Or local feed stores?
5. Anything else we need to know?
Please feel free to share anything else you might think would help.
