These meat chickens are just gross and ugly! Have I mentioned that? Yuck! And, they just are not smart like my ladies are! The ladies eat a ton of greens a day from the grass and clover I pick for them. The meats (that's what I call them) will not eat the greens. They will however eat about 5 lbs of feed a day! I didn't really think to much about it until the other day when a friend suggested I keep raising meat chickens and sell them to people who don't want their meat exposed to chemicals and freaky treatment. I'm not very business-minded, but according to my friend, you should always aim for a 50% profit when in business. Hmmm....I don't see anyone paying $10 a bird for my chemical-free, treated like family meats!
But, now that we have this little shelter/fenced area already set up, my wheels have been turning! I'm thinking a pig would fit nicely in there! Bacon is one of my favorite food groups!
