Messy but Delicious
A lovely farming day steemians!!!
That’s how I’d sum up raising meat chickens.
I guess technically it’s not our first year raising meat birds, as we did have a small test-run last year. But this is the first time we’ve had a larger bunch, so I’m calling it our very first official year.
I don’t really feel qualified to write a definitive, all-encompassing “how to raise chicken meat” post since we’re still new at this, but I did want to share our experiences. (And I wanted to write everything down so I don’t forget… You wouldn’t believe how often I Google my own blog to remember something.) So here ya go.
We started with 25 Cornish Cross meat chicks this winter and we’ll likely get another 20-25 later in the year. That puts us at about one chicken per week for meals and I feel like that’s plenty, at least for us. (We have tons of homegrown beef and pork to eat, too. Especially beef. SO. MUCH. BEEF.)
keep farming guys and steem on!!!!
We haven't raised a flock of meat birds yet but i sure hope to in the near future. The flavor and health quality is so much better.Do you pluck yours? In the past when we've taken roosters or various hens here and there I've just skinned them. But if we raise them proper Id like to pluck them and keep the skins on
