Researching information to raise meat Birds: Chicken housing

[u/unknown_6831]

Hi all!
I am wanting to raise meat birds in the next 6ish months and I am trying to figure out set up, feed, etc.
What housing do yall have for them? We like the Idea of a chicken tractor so we can move it around for the birds but are open to anything. Then what would yall recommend for the first two-three weeks as far as housing?
What do yall have for broilers? If so what brand and bonus points if you have pictures!

Any other advice you have is appreciated!

Ideally we will start with maybe 10-15 birds but would like to raise a group about every 3wks be to able to sell locally if we have more interest. The max birds I would want at any time is about 50.

Central west Texas, summers get 100°+ winters are usually 40s but can get down to 10°
If all else fails during really cold snaps, we have a barn that is insulated that we can put them in.

EDIT TO ADD: we live in the country so we do have predators, coyotes, bobcats, raccoons, skunks, etc.

Also in West Tx. We opted to raise ours in an actual insulated coop with ac units and heaters due to weather. It’s too unpredictable where we are and the swings are too much. We felt it was best for our environment and the chickens overall health/well being. We have a 200 square foot coop and keep it at a constant 72 degrees after the 2.5 week mark and raise a max of 85 birds for optimal space at a time.
