In an effort to become more sustainable and know where our food comes from, my husband and I have decided to get chickens. I plan on getting some for laying, and some cornish cross for meat birds. I have never actually slaughtered anything before. Nor has my husband. However my dad has slaughtered cows, pigs, and chickens, so I know he'll help guide us through it all. I'll be the one in charge of taking care of the chickens though. What are your tips for raising chickens, without getting overly attached? One of the main reasons I am going with the cornish cross at this time is because I know it's best if they are slaughtered sooner rather than later. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
(Just to add, we haven't bought any chickens yet, but I'm trying to be as prepared as possible!)
