So you'd like to raise your own chickens for meat?  Here's a guide to the different meat breeds and some basic information on how to raise and process your own chickens for the table. 

Home raised chickens not only taste better than your average supermarket bird but you can also be sure they've had a chance to run around, eat good food and develop healthy meat.   If you eat chicken and you've got room to raise some, give it a go.
