As small as they are, I hope you have a small appetite or a lot of chicks.

Hmmm. I might could raise Sarah up to tutor you on the care of chicks, but I am not sure that she would want to knowing that you are going to eat them... giggle

LOL Bonnie..I have 2, in 6-8 weeks they should be butchering size...they are genetically bred to grow fast.  They should be the size of a roasting hen in that time....and boy can they eat.

Dianne I have chickens now been raiseing htem for the last 8 years or so..I have just never raised for meat.....for some reason I have a feeling everyone is going to have to learn how to do for themselves in the not to distant future.

I agree too and I'm DIY challenged so things are not looking good from my perspective.
