Bacon and eggs for breakfast, a chicken sandwich for lunch, and steak and potatoes for dinner. Sound familiar?Poultry and meat — beef, pork, lamb and veal — comprise the main portion of many people's diets. Besides being packed with protein, they're good sources of B vitamins, iron and zinc. But they can also be high in cholesterol, fat and calories, so enjoy these foods in moderation. Fish is high in protein, but low in saturated fat and cholesterol, making it a good substitute for poultry and meat.So whether you eat poultry, meat and seafood on a regular basis or just occasionally, here are some tips for using these protein-rich favorites.Poultry: Chicken and turkeySelecting * Select lean cuts.

what is it?Most people equate the word poultry with chickens, but it also covers ducks, geese, turkeys, guinea-fowl, quail, and arguably even pheasants and pigeons (dictionary definition = the keeping of domestic fowl). All have their particular quirks: chickens are easy to keep, ducks need access to water, and geese are hardy, tough and self-reliant but need a bit more space. Chickens of course are the most common; there are many breeds and varieties available with different characters, some are for show and have incredible ‘hairstyles’, others are renowned for their consistent supply and quantity of eggs, and others make excellent table birds. You don’t need much experience or capital to keep a few chickens in the garden and there are many benefits other than fresh, free-range eggs

Backyard poultry are one of the first choices gardeners make when they want to introduce some animals into their garden. Which isn't that surprising considering the many attributes these birds offer our yards.
However, which one do you choose?
Chickens are obviously more common than 'hens teeth' and with their many varieties most gardeners can source some great birds cheaply that will be function reliably. But, have you ever considered introducing a Peacock? Or Guinea Fowl?
It depends entirely upon the purpose for keeping poultry in your backyard. Are you looking for egg layers? Meat providers? Something unusual to show the neighbours? Or pest foragers? So while roadtesting different species of poultry may be helpful it really is an individual choice. Your garden and the way you enjoy your yard will dictate which birds will be appropriate.
Happy hunting!

Reducing the intake of meat may be a difficult step to overcome for many and the price tag of organic meat may be discouraging. Have you ever bought organic chicken? It is really expensive compared to the chicken produced in large scale factory farms. Meat and poultry should be expensive. What makes it cheap is the industrialized production methods. The fast food industry and supermarkets has driven the meat producers into fast producing and hyper efficient meat factories. If you were to enter one of these plants and got at chance to see whats going on in the production line you would probably not eat meat for days. Maybe you would be so disgusted that you would become a vegetarian. If you can't live without meat and you have the habit to pick the cheapest meat at the supermarket, these films may help you understand why you should only buy organic meat.

Pullets are transferred to the laying house at the age of 16-18 weeks or at least 3 weeks before the onset of egg production.
A few days before and after the transfer, the bird's ration should be fortified with antibiotics and vitamins to minimize or counteract the effects of stress.
Cull those birds that show little or no promise of becoming potential layers.
