Hi all! I've been reading this forum for quite a while as it usually comes up in search when I google a chicken question (lol). Happy to finally be joining now!

I currently have 6 chickens in my pet/layer flock (2 EE hens, 1 EE roo, 1 Cochin hen, a silkie chick, and a 55 Flowery hen). Then my kids have a project flock with 3 market broilers headed for the 4-H auction at the county fair later this summer.

Been reading online about heritage breeds and meat birds, and I'm really interested to try to get a flock of heritage birds going. Maybe for meat.

Good to be here, look forward to chatting!

Thank you! I saw the incredibly helpful "how to" post on processing meat birds. It was a little more intense than I expected (lol) but if I want to learn it, I have to be prepared.
 
Hello, Melanie, and welcome to BYC! :frowGlad you joined.
I admire your ability to watch those videos on processing birds. I just can't "do the deed". I'll have to have my birds sent out for processing when I finally get to the point I am ready to raise a batch.
