We are planning on expanding our flock. Owen wants to start breeding and raising meat birds for 4h.
The perimeter fence will be a 5-6' multi wire hot fence .
We plan on around 25 - 30 layers, and 4-5 roosters. We want to try meet birds as well, not sure if we have them all the time or just a few batches a year.
We plan on seeding and irrigating the pastures and closing them off to allow growth.
Are our rooster/breeding pens big enough?
