Does anyone the ones on this list here which are the best chickens for meat or eggs, or both? Some varieties we don't get over here in the UK, but I think it's probably one of the best animals to have for survival, as of course!
Oops! I didn't know he was banned. Thanks for the information and recommendations on the layers and meat chickens anyway...I will put some of those on my order list!He has already been banned Cindy. Was going to answer the question too, but saw it was too late.
Barred Rocks and Austrolorps are good duel purpose hens. I prefer to raise meat birds for meat and high output laying hens just for eggs. The reason is you don’t waste any food or time. The Cornish Cross is the meat bird to use. You seriously can start processing some of them in as little as 6 weeks. My favorite laying hen is the ISA Brown. Followed by Leghorns (too noisy and flighty for me, but do lay well) and then Rhode Island Reds.
Someone just came to my house and informed me backyard chickens in Arkansas and Missouri is now illegal . Commercial poultry operation have been exempt from this decree . That makes me an outlaw as I have no intentions of getting rid of my chickens . Is this a decree targeting preppers ? Buying baby chicks will be illegal in these two states for preppers / backyard farmers . Can any on here confirm or debunk this ?
Have not read any news about that. But the goverment IS after our hens, goats and cows! The feds have killed thousands of chickens, blamed in on the bird flu. Guess what test they are using? Yep, the PCR test. Have also read they are going after people’s private flocks close to the large breeders and killing their hens too.
Hide your hens folks. Mine are not visible from any road or even our driveway. Will keep it that way.

We all have to decide when we are willing to use deadly force to stop government tyranny? It's best if the majority of us decide together that it's not much longer.
Got the little brooder building done today. I can pick it up with the tractor and move it where I want. Its too small to brood everything that we have on order so I'm going to temporarily convert the wood shed to a brooder too.

I'm going to start clearing the area for the new chicken facility tomorrow.
Because we want to make everything lovely! I’m going to paint my chicken tractor that is being made soon. A pretty green I think.
