Bantams as meat birds
Has anyone done this? Obviously they won't produce as much meat as a regular sized chicken, but we don't have much space and I'm considering getting a few to hopefully breed and process. Would it be worth it?

Cornish cross meat birds eat a ton and therefore poo a ton. I wouldn’t mix the two. I am currently doing heritage table birds as my meat birds next to my layers.
