I'm going to start rearing commercial broilers on a small scale, I'm looking at maybe 20 or so every month just for our own home use.
I don't want to be buying them in as chicks so my plan was to pick up a handful of broiler breeder parent stock from a flock which was being depleted and just breed and hatch my own.
Would anyone else be interested in a few parent stock?
They'll be over 60 weeks old and well past their best as far egg laying goes but the hens will still be laying 3-4 eggs a week for a few years yet and they will be big eggs which means big strong chicks.
