Sorry I am so late, I haven't been watching this site. I have a gal near me who will be having a few cockrels soon. If it doesn,t work out I can check with you.
Thanks,
I want a Lavender Rooster for my two Lavender hens. One of the hens is exceptional and would like some chicks from her, I know it is late in the year but I have heated facilities. I am in Rathdrum, Idaho. 208 659 4639 please text as I have poor hearing and lousy cell service..
He does free range. I thought I might try game bird feed as he is now 12% mash. I hate to get rid of him, because he has so much personality and fun to watch.
I am new to Muscovies. Some people say that Muscovy ducks can fly but the drakes cannot. Mine have no interest in flying that I have seen. They are very laid back and do a lot of sitting around. I may just clip one wing on each to be on the safe side/
My granddaughter and my neighbor both raised CX's last year on regular mash. They lost over 50% of the birds. Some hardly grew and some up and died. I raised CX's at the same time and fed 22% protein and only 1 died. They had great weight gains. Since I prefer dark meat, I would like to...
I have raised Cornish crosses, but they required 22% protein in their feed.
This year I am contemplating raising Red Rangers. Do they also require 22% protein.
High protein is really expensive. If Red Rangers do require high protein, then what meat breed does not require it.?
I am 75 years old and the only thread that I am familiar with is the type you sew. Ha Ha
I will try mustard or wasabi or something else. Do chickens have a sense of smell????
I have a Stromberg cataloge and minimum order is 15 poults. I know Strombergs drop ship so is the quality good. I want 5 poults, but could sell some to others. I live in Idaho.
I would like to get some Heritage turkeys but they would have to share a coop with my hens for the winter as it snows up here in Idaho and the hens will not go out in the snow. Will they fight??
What ever it was, it had to scale a 6 ft chain link fence and ate the whole hen except the bones, head, and innards. What varmint does this kind of behavior? We have coyotes, fox, coons, owls, hawks, and skunks . Haven't seen any possums but that doesn' mean they are not around.
