I'm new to raising chickens for meat so I'm curious as what to do. I'm thinking about ordering one of the "Frypan specials" of 50 cockerels. All my chicks stay in a bitty run with hardware cloth bottom to keep them out of their poop and they get vitamins and electrolytes in every gallon of water. Is there anything else that I should do with these chickens before butchering? These will all be heavy heritage breeds so when should I process them as well. Thanks
