Hello all, has anybody raised 4-H/FFA broilers for show on grass? How did they do? Did you feed them pellets as well? Thanks in advance!

It is 26%

Right now I have them on the mill’s brand of started feed, which is apparently very good. Nope, since they all come from the same place. The only thing that I know of that might be what you are talking about is when you go the day of the show. They check the birds for any bruising, which if...

The show is March 23rd, and as far as I know the only guideline as far as raising them is that we have to order them through the show.

Any tips on raising broiler chicks for livestock shows? This is my first time showing and I currently have 25 chicks in my lap, bringing them home. Thanks in advance!

My neighbor is down there right now. It stopped raining over here so he was able to come help with his boat.

It is definitely NOT clean water. You have no idea what is in the water, or what is on the ground. At least you can go shovel your way out of the snow, you can't get out of a hurricane (most of the time).

I'm so glad that y'all are still okay! Prayers!

Yes, there is quite a bit of flooding, my whole front yard is a swamp. We are doing pretty well, we have a a few tornado warnings, but none touchdown yet. We also haven't had a power outage, and fingers crossed we won't.

It looks like Houston is pretty bad right now. I am in college station (about 45 mins- 1 hour outside of houston) and here we are supposed to get 20 plus inches of rain. My chickens look horrible as they are wet, but they have an area that they can stay dry, if they wanted.

Okay! Thank you!

I wish I could do that, i live in a neighbor full of dogs so I wouldn't want them to try and clear a fence, not, and then get attacked

Ok! Would it be better if we clipped their wings?

I have production reds that are standard size

I was just wondering, how high chickens can actually fly? I sometimes free range my chickens, but I am always out there when I do. I was wondering if they would be able to fly over the 6 foot fence...
