The Hubbards are now 6 and a half weeks old. Dan has built them a bigger run as they are really active - much more so than the ones we had last year. They're now on grower pellets, which they'll get until they are at killing weight / age, in four to five weeks.
If you're going to keep poultry for meat, you need to know how to butcher birds
Birds for slaughter should be handled quietly and calmly, to prevent panic and distress, and possibly injury.
Giving your hens the right food and drink is essential to health and productivity.

Hello, I'm Rosemary Champion, aka the Accidental Smallholder. I'm a smallholder in the east of Scotland and started this website to help other people who are interested in smallholding to find their way, and to share my experiences.
