This spring I only probably want to do enough meatbirds that I can butcher them here at the house and fill the freezer a little...remember gotta leave room for fall hunting
My two options are...
Order 15-25 Colored Range chicks from JMhatchery
or
Pickup 6-12 Cornish Cross chicks from TSC
I'm leaning more towards the cornish just because I don't have to get the 15-25....but I was really set on trying out some of those freedom rangers. But Cornish might just be easier because it is a 10 minute drive to pick them up and I can just let them live in the chicken run.
What are others thoughts on this? I know there are many posts about Cornish vs. Freedom rangers...and I'm really not trying to make another just want to know if there is really any other bennefit to the CR chicks other than they don't stink and get have leg issues, etc like the Cornish?
Thanks!
