Hatching
I have had layers for several years, and love them. Now that the new meat labeling laws have been repealed, and we will soon not be able to know what country our meat (and poultry) comes from, I think it's time to try meat birds. But I have TONS of questions! How much space do they need? Do they HAVE to have outside space (I know that's ideal, but may be difficult on our property) or is it possible to do it indoors only? What kind of feed and how much? Will the males fight if I keep them together? Do they need roosts, or will that just make their leg problems worse?
Like I said, tons of questions, and that's not even getting close to the processing part! We probably won't be getting the chicks for a few months at least, but I'd like to have some idea of what I'm doing beforehand.
Thanks in advance!
