Stopped at two Tractor Supply stores on the way home today. 1st one had no meat birds. Second one only had 10. Bought all of them and also got 6 new mixed-breed layer pullets. The ones I have left are grannies now, so they are going to enter retirement soon. Plus while I was gone I had something get in the pen and kill 2 more
Week 1 update
The meat birds have doubled in size. They are eating and crapping machines, just like last year. By the second day they were jumping out of the cattle trough. Had chickens running across my pool table. So I zipped apart some pallets and screwed them together in a box, and they have been living in my garage
I took them all out this afternoon to clean the box. I put them in a play pen, and they layer pullets fit right thru the mesh. Had to go chase them down. So I put them in an ice chest while I did my cleaning
Meat birds are about the size of a fat quail. The layer pullet are about the size of a sparrow.
