I have a 13 week old Partridge Cochin, I would hate to have to cull him because he is gorgeous but I don't want to keep him. Anyone interested please let me know.

They were in the bin of chicks that were starting to fly out and they had to get rid of them. I couldn't resist and of course my daughter helped influence me too. But I think I might have some white egg layers now.

That is one possibility I was considering or I thought it might be a California white.

Ok, they are not McMurray chicks but I can't help that TCS had them for a $1. I have no idea what breed they are though, and guesses?

They are very easy to set up, there is pretty much 2 main ways to do it; all in one container (which is what I started with) or a setup with 3 drawers. I am planning on trying the 3 drawer setup too since that seems to be the most popular. They are very low maintenance and each female can...

My chickens love those and they are doing great.

I am not sure but I was thinking about 18-20 weeks

Mine are dual purpose ( orpingtons and jersey giants). The main reason is to keep them separated from my laying flock since they are temporary and fed differently.

I have decided that I am going to build a separate coop specifically for growing my meat chickens out. Are there any special requirements I should keep in mind other then the basics? Do I need to build nest boxes if I am not keeping them long enough to start laying? Suggestions and pics would...

I am trying to find a way to incorporate them into a science project for the kids. We are thinking about comparing incubators to hatching with broody hens.

I really like the coop we built, it's not the prettiest but it is solid and secure. Next is the turkey coop and brooder coops for the momma chickens. Thinking about building another coop just for growing out my meat birds.
