Hi I like your videos and find them helpful.
. could you or did you ever make a video about dealing with Predators???
...I have a lot around where I live and my neighbors lost a lot of birds that way ....so I'd be interested in what you'd have to say and any of the other farmers who keep chickens and their comments.... thanks

have you considered doing a video about the best way to dispatch a chicken? I'm interested in keeping meat birds, but I want to make sure I know the most humane way to go about it, and how different people do it.

A five pound Rhode Island Red hen is not a good dual purpose chicken, period. It's not worth the trouble of raising incubating cleaning etc for a scrawny carcus. If you just want enough eggs for the family and meat for the table go with a large strain of Barred Rocks, a meat strain of New Hampshire's, Jersey Giants, Brama's or Orpington's. With any of these, one hen is enough for a meal. The other breeds mentioned in this video have been bred for generations in hatcheries for efficient egg production. They're smaller than the breed standard, lay more eggs but are not worth butchering, boiling, plucking and all the other things you have to do for a few scraps of meat.
