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.

This year I am going back to the Cornish X for my meat chickens. I can expect to have birds dressing out to around 5 or 6 pounds each at about 8 weeks of age. This will allow me to grow out 25 or so chickens and have them in the freezer before the weather heats up too much for the young birds.
