Just ordered my meat chickens for the year. 25 of them. I am trying a different breed this year -Red Rangers.
Also ordered 15 Khaki Campbell ducks.
Fixing to go get some new layer hens and still looking for turkey poults
Nice! My next project after a gate and fence is a coop!
I'm thinking of finally trying the meat chicken deal. I have the coops just got to find some chicks. Where did u order yours?
If you want the cornish rock meat birds, you can get them at Tractor supply. They usually have them this time of year. Keep in mind they are a PIA to raise...
This year I ordered the red rangers (each company may have a slight different name for them). I ordered my ducks from here

And my meat birds from here

Problem is with the cold weather in the North, a lot of hatcheries had to stall their hatching(chicks will die during shipping)...hence why I had to order from 2 different hatcheries.
