I prefer Organic, if I am growing it, but cannot afford to buy what they stick a label on and call organic....
Is it impossible to raise your own chickens?
When I was hatching eggs in the incubator, I used my old aquariums for them, with a 25 watt light bulb and it worked well.
Mary taught me to feed them cultured buttermilk instead of water, as it puts the good flora in their stomachs, just as it does yours.
How do you feel about rabbits? They are fun and pleasant to raise, altho, we are not all that fond of the meat.
I knew a widow lady, who had about 5 small children, she shot the cottontails, cooked them for making mexican food and canned them in jars, that was her source of meat.
Yes, homegrown beef and pork will spoil you for the store bought meats.
Call the Farm Extension office and ask who will sell you chickens.
Well I live in urban area, can’t have farm animals in my yard... hell my little boro basically thinks its an HOA I’d love seeing them react to a chicken coop.. hahaha.
