Meat birds grow faster than laying hens and they have a completely different set of needs and behavior. Oftentimes, meat birds are a completely different breed than your trusty laying hens, which introduces a new set of challenges that you will need to adapt to. Starting from day old baby chicks, we walk you through the step by step process to raising high quality chicken for you and your family.

We cover topics such as how to encourage lazy meat bird breeds to forage more, which keeps your feed costs low while dramatically raising the quality of the meat produced. We walk through how to adapt the deep bedding strategy for meat birds that forage and scratch less and tend to sit around more. Ending with a respectful and holistic harvesting process, this training gives you everything you need to start producing your own chicken for the table!
