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.

Joel Salatin, author of Pastured Poultry Profits, raises Cornish Cross meat birds in portable chicken houses called chicken tractors. The broilers are slaughtered at 8 weeks, with an average carcass weight of 1.8 kg (4 lb.) with a live weight of 2.4 kg (5.3 lb.).The feeding schedule for broilers is quite flexible.he meat birds can be kept longer and sold as roasters when they are 3-5 months old. Another option is to raise capons (castrated males) that can be marketed as light roasters at 3 months of age, or as ten-pound roasters at 6-7 months of age.
