Ok I'm getting confused, I have new hampshire roo with 6 barrel rock hens and 6 new hampshire hens. What are the going to make? Some sex link and pure new hampshire right? What are the sex links going to look like compared to the pure new hampshire? Thanks

Ok I think I worded it wrong I think I will be able to tell the difference between the ones I ordered its the offspring of the ones I ordered that I am wondering about. I plan on keeping them all together and hatching from the group and not sure if I will be able to tell the difference between...

I ordered straight run of delawares and new hampshire and wondered if I will be able to tell the difference between the chick's if I hatch from them? I plan on keeping 1 roo from both breeds and all the hens. I know I should end up with Indian River, pure dels, pure hampshire, and sex links...

I have a pond full of duck weed in my back yard and want to dry a bunch to mix with there feed but am wondering if geese can transfer bird flu through it? Might be a dumb question but ya don't know till ya ask. Thanks

Ok I read the name on the dusty hood wrong its makomb. I skipped the thermostat and plugged it in and it turned on. I have a much better thermo laying around I plan on using. And yeah needs all rewired, old cloth stuff. Thanks

Just wondering if there is any one out there that know any thing about them? I found one out at my grandmas, its electric, 4' x 4', and has the spring looking heating coils. It does work and I was thinking about using it. I was wondering if it would be cheaper to run than the red brooder bulbs...

thanks guys, I think I will keep them in my garage with the wood burner going for a week or 2 and then let them just have the heat bulb for a few weeks then move them to the grow out pen with a heat bulb. How many chicks ya think per heat bulb? Ya might think im a little nutts but I plan on...

I was wondering if I incubate some eggs now how long would it be till they are old enough to take the winter temps? Or at least survive in a draft free building with just a heat lamp? I live in northern Illinois, they would hatch buy the end of October. I need more egg layers and meat in the...

Ok it seams like 5 to 1 is about the average for dp birds. So if I want a 8 pound bird its going to take about 40 pounds of feed. The last batch of feed I ground cost me 100 bucks for a ton. So I should be able to get 50 roos to 8 pounds at 2 bucks a bird. I hatch my own eggs so my cost per...

Just wondering if any one had a good idea on the average pounds of feed it takes to feed out a dp roo? I know there are a lot of variables just wanted a idea of how many pounds. Don't need to get into too much detail just wanted some one with some experienced opinions. Thanks stew

k I just wanted to keep a pair or trio to make more, if I like the flavor. I can make as big of a pen as I desire but don't want to spend the money till I know I will like the meat. Thanks

cant you put 1 hen with 1 roo in a 8 sq cage?

I agree they would never tell or sell but it would be sweat.

Well instead of buying more totes I built 2 8sqft brooders, it was cheaper per sqft. A month and a half from now there should be vary few nights below freezing. I have 31 eggs in lookdown so we will see how many I end up with. Knowing my luck ill end up with way more reds than Georgia's and I...

Them are some good videos ridgerunner. I know it wouldn't happen in a few generations, I said years. I may be wrong but you should get about 2 generations a year so 5 or 6 years I bet one could get it, or get pretty close. Look up leopard gecko wiki and go to the morphs section and you would be...

Cool, the eggs I bought were not all labeled so I separated the ones I knew at lockdown so I would have a idea. Wow they take a lot more room than I would have thought as chicks. Looks like I need to go get a few more big totes. How long till they are feathered good enough to handle the cold? I...

Does anyone know if I will be able to tell the difference between Tennessee red chicks and George giant chicks? Thanks

I wonder if one had the time and space If one could un scramble the Cornish x? I was able to d it with geckos of multiple genes, took a few generations. And I also knew what I was separating. I really think with in 4 to 5 years a person could. I would think if ya started with one rooster and...

I would like to hear how some peoples Cornishx breeding's went. I don't want to get into the details of it don't make true Cornish xs. Just what was bred to what and what the out comes were. I've been trying to read all the posts about it being done and it seams to turn into a argument that it...
