Description
Let's talk about chickens! We've raised meat chickens off and on for about 10 years now, and it has never really been our strong suit. But, the demand is there and I would really like to increase our meat chicken production ... like really increase it! There is one problem though, well actually three problems. First of all we have settled on the Freedom Ranger breed for our meat chickens (although I'm open for suggestions because it still isn't my favorite ever). Secondly, I am totally committed to the "day range" system of raising the birds, but I'm not committed to a structure. And finally, processing is somewhat of a bottle neck for us. There is only one official processor in the state and we are pretty much all in on needing official processing! I'd love to hear your thoughts! Don't forget you can find us in all of the places, most of all on YouTube (again)! The Beginning Farmer YouTube Channel The Beginning Farmer Instagram The Beginning Farmer Facebook

TBF 059 :: Selecting Heritage Meat Chickens, Farm News, and a Hard Lesson Learned: I have to admit that this episode (and the following episode) is one that I was very excited about doing for purely selfish reasons. I am super excited to have Wesley Hunter of Providence Farm on the show to talk about heritage breed meat chickens.... by The Beginning Farmer Show
