Grow a REAL work-from-home business
Is raising meat birds a good idea for the small land owner? You betcha! Some of the advantages:
- Quick turnaround - 10-12 weeks from getting the chicks until they are in the freezer. This means a quick return on your money, and in most places you can do more than one 'batch' a year (we usually do 3.)
- Space efficient - you don't need a lot of land to grow some chickens, even on pasture (the ONLY way, IMHO)
- Raising meat birds our way does not take much time from your day; we spend about 5-10 minutes twice a day for feeding/watering, and about 20 minutes once a week to move our portable coop and fencing
- Organic chicken is profitable - if you can control your losses (we'll show you how later) you can expect to net 40-50% of your sale price. In other words you can just about double your money in 10-12 weeks. Beats the stock market, eh?
- and, last but not least, your own chicken from your pasture or big back yard tastes GREAT!
