When to start meat birds?

[watchdogps]

I'm planning to raise some meat birds this year and was wondering when the usual time is to order them? I'm in Ohio. I know they are at feed stores sometime in the spring but I cant recall when that is.

So go ahead and call!! Let your finger do the walkin'

We get our meat birds from Meyer hatchery around the middle of April, now that the girls are done with 4-H. This way they are ready to go by the second week of June before it gets too hot.
