But hopefully if the next door plot becomes available shortly, me & chickadee (Helen) are hoping to put some table birds on that lottie as a shared venture. What breed would be the best to have. We'd like something slow growing, that won't go off it's legs etc. I don't know much about the breeds of table/meat birds.
One of the other plot holders has kept meat poultry & other livestock for years & he's helping us too which is great. I'll have my first taste of organic free range chicken on friday & I'm sooooo looking forward to it. Such a shame - the poor devil is still running around!
He did show me the birds (I think Ross white?Cobb?) he's just had but they had almost gone off their legs untill he had them running around his garden. Ideally I'd like to raise them from day olds so I can control their feed,growth & total welfare. My husband still refuses to eat them though when they get done-he's only just managed to eat the eggs from the girls?!
