[QUOTE="susie, post: 231044, member: 1553"] It's definitely not cheaper to raise your own--- I know. Esp if your raising RIR or Australorps- we raise a slower-growing Cornish cross, just takes 6 weeks to be butcher size. Do 50 or 100 at a time in smaller groups in moveable pens. We picked up some used equipment that makes it more manageable- a big brooder about the size of a twin bed that holds them until they a week or two old, and a chicken plucker that is wonderful when butchering days comes, do all of them in a day.
