would it be possible to make a breeding flock for these guys? curious about sustainable broiler flocks

[@BonnyAcresFarm]

That's what we've done here! We wanted to cut out the ordering of chicks and so far we've got 22 meat chicks hatched with another batch lined up to hatch in 3 weeks!

What reasons would you keep your flock open? We plan to add new birds to keep genetics fresh, OR to replace lost stock due to sickness or predation.

[@DaveChristinaKohler]

What breed are you rasing?

[@BonnyAcresFarm]

Excellent question! Silly we didn't mention in the video. These are the Ginger Broilers from Murray McMurray Hatchery

[@Ilovebuns-i7i]

You're rabbit and the chickens get along

[@BonnyAcresFarm]

Yeah, it's more that they just don't understand each other, but it's better than a hutch for the rabbit for sure!
