I have noticed on a few of the ones I have cooked that a strip of green colored meat is right next to the breast bone inside and I mean the meat attached right to the breast bone. It just ends too doesn't streak through the meat. Does anyone know where this comes from? These were processed by...
I got the most shocking surprise last night. I came home and was in the layer coop doing chores and I hear frantic peeping from outside, I look and here scattering around in the weeds are a bunch of little yellow chicks.....I am "what the heck?"....My set up has a very secure, buried, inside...
I am considering hatching out some of my hens eggs. I have quite a few roosters and 33 hens. I have some BO who go in and out of broodiness. Just wondering if I should let one set some eggs or have more control and do the incubator.
I am just not sure as I have never done it before and just...
Yippee!!! After I got home from work and after playing with the pooch, I went to the coop to do the chores and was cleaning out the nest boxes, going to put fresh straw in.
What do I find??? A very beautiful perfectly formed little light brown egg. I screamed in delight, so much so that my...
Yeah, how pathetic is this. I am planning my own birthday party. LOL, I had someone give me a hard time about it a few days ago and its kind of been stewing in my mind for a few days. So how tacky is it really ? I figured my chicken friends would support me.....
I had decided instead of being...
I took my 30 cornish X's to the processor today. I dropped them off at 7am and was kind of sad to send them off. I was all along pretty careful to not let them get too cute to me but the big poop machines looked sad to me in their cages. Not that I will not enjoy eating them when I get them...
I fed the chicks watermelon and they loved it. I didnt get a picture of the chase that happened after one would grab one pc and run away, was laughing too hard..... and they all would chase after them. I am going to keep watermelon around as they loved it.
The dog Kody supervising the...
This is "Cocoa" I am not sure what she is. I got quite an assortment and not sure what breed she is. Very friendly and my favorite.....
What is this white one?
With all the negative info of dogs and chickens I thought I would share a positive dog happening....I was sitting in my run sunday afternoon in the shade enjoying watching the chicks with my pooch, Kody laying by my side. He has been great with the chickens and has never made an aggressive move...
Hi,

Can anyone recommend a processor in MN area near the Mpls/St.Paul that does chickens. I have been "googling" my heart out and am having trouble finding one near by. Have tons of ones that do game birds and venison but no poultry. I dont want to drive too far.
Thanks in advance.

I have 3 week old chicks right now. I am moving the 3 week olds to the coop this week, right now they are in a very large brooder. I am new to this and am not sure what to do. A vacation bible school has 9 chicks - a little over a week old that they need to find a home for. Can I put the...
