thanks this winter we are going to add on to the back about 20 more feet we hope to have about 3000 meat birds next year i've got about a 100 layers now and we done about 400 meat birds already this.

 

[the1much]

are the meats worth what you get out of em?, and how long do you wait to process? , i just dont think meaties are what im looking for, i cant imagine processing a 6 week old , 3lbs bird,,lol,, i like BIG birds hehe

 

[NC chicken man]

we sell ours for $4.00 per lb and we process ours at 7 to 8 weeks and most dressed out at 5 to 7 lbs

[NC chicken man]

it is a window double pane they was going to throw it away on the job and i said oh no i can use it ,the window faces east and the chicks can stand there ans watch the sun come from the floor.

NC Chicken Man,

I am probably an hour or so from you and just getting started in all of this real soon. Would you be opposed at some point if I came down and saw your setup and picked your brain for a bit on things?

It looks like your doing exactly what I am trying to get established. I live just south of Burlington.

Very nice setup by the way and good luck with it all!!
