Note that I make a distinction between the TAB character (which is a byte which can occur in a disk file) and the TAB key (which is that plastic bump on your keyboard, which when hit causes your computer to do something.). As to point #1: As to point #2, the tab character: there is a lot of history here.
This is my second year raising meat chickens. The first year I ordered 25 day old heavy breed cockrels. Raised them for 24 weeks then butchered them. They were different breeds and it was a little hard to kill them. They tasted okay but not good enough to do it again. The next time I ordered 25 Cornish Cross chicks.he first year I ordered 25 day old heavy breed cockrels. Raised them for 24 weeks then butchered them. They were different breeds and it was a little hard to kill them. They tasted okay but not good enough to do it again.
When to butcher chickens. This is our first year raising chickens and I'm not sure when to butcher them. They range in age from about 2 1/2 months to 3 months old right now. Some of the roosters are getting their combs. They don't really seem big enough yet to me, but I was reading to butcher them by the time they start getting combs.
