Our Red Ranger Broiler Breeding Stock

   On our homestead we are shooting to be as self-sufficient as we can. We eat chicken a lot so growing our own only made sense in reaching our goal. These are Red Rangers. We have 7 hens and one rooster. Lucky guy. lol

 

  These Reds are not only good for meat. When we are not incubating there eggs we eat them. They are just as good as any other farm fresh egg and most of the time bigger. I am also using them right now to prep some garden beds for spring. I explain how to do that in a previous post. Here's the link https://steemit.com/homesteading/@hopfarmnc/chicken-tractor-and-how-we-use-them

   Here are a few of the offspring we have hatched from the Red Rangers. Obviously the ones on the left..lol The one on the right is a Barred Rock. We also process the birds on farm. The sense of accomplishment we had the first time we ate a chicken that we new EXACTLY how they and there parents ate and how they lived was hard to describe. Who else out there raises there own meat chickens? I'd love to hear about it...
