Is there a way to keep water warmer during cold weather using solar power or anything of renewable power? that would be great to know of a way of doing this at a good price.

Hello, I am doing some research on purchasing land since I am wanting to purchase some land in the near future. I am thinking of hopefully purchasing some 25/30 acres or more of land all depending on the price in the area of ulster, sullivan or orange county NY, or anywhere near that area...

Hello, I am wanting to get more information regarding feed and feed mills. I am wanting to be able to know how much feed/quantity of feed i would need to feed 2,083 cornish crosses in the span of two months of their production? I am wanting to just get some numbers and callculations since I am...

Hello, Are the eggs shown above from the same parent lines? How dark have the eggs been? I have never raised marans before, at what age do they start laying, and are they great layers, one a day? How old are the parents fo the eggs you are selling....I might be interested. Thank you and sorry...

Hello, I have been interested in purchasing some cobb fertile eggs for a while now because I would like to start a meat and breeding plan with them. The thing is that I am not sure who might have some fertile eggs for hatching. If anyone might have some or will have some, or might know of...

Well thank you for the information but I would honestly appreciate anymore suggestions or past tricks some of you have tried in bringing in a new member of the flock with the rest of the chickens, ets. I want to see if it is possible that I can be able to keep the new chicken I brought in or if...

Well I am not feeding her layer feed. The thing is that I dont know what is wrong, they just seem to not get along great with each other at all. Maybe its because she is smaller compared to them even though she isnt so small either. The thing is that there is one hen I have that goes running...

What are cobb Chickens? Are they cornish crosses or are they a sepperate breed? Will they breed true if you breed cobb chickens or is it the same story like it is with cornish crosses that you have to keep depending on aviagen, etc? How has the cobb resulted in production, and weight? I would...

Good Job!! That is actually a good method, in the way to play around with them and tell them straight up their minds that these games won't work. I have actually done the same myself in fooling them, etc and then in the end they either dont email me again or they will continue until I tell...

I see well this is what I thought it worked like. Then is what Kellyhm reffering to the breeding management is only for the Great Grandparent breeding lines then right? I see well then so all this meat bird is really just really high extensive breeding isnt it? Is there a way they make it easier...

thank you for the post. Well that is why I am asking because I was confused but now I am much more confused.....so what is it with what kellyhm is saying with breeding the same offsprings together using the management plan from aviagen? Will the offsprings still come true in being cornish...
