My plan this year has been to raise some chicks for the table - I have a few dual-purpose breeds (cuckoo marans cockerel x barred plymouth rock or silver grey dorking or scots dumpy). This is the first time I've actually raised chicks from my own birds rather than killing and eating an adult, so we'll see how it goes. Some of my birds have been called things like "Headless", "Turkey", that sort of thing, but I'm trying to avoid giving any names at all to the eating chicks. They are about 4weeks old now and spend their little lives chowing down, so I'm hoping they'll get to a good weight!
