    Pennsylvania Chickenstock CLARION TSC June 23, 2012

    Looking for a Cornish roo that can actually hit the breeding target. Both of mine from the hatchery seem to be so inbred that they can't figure out what to do. They look... wrong in other ways too, I really think it is inbreeding. I have some Rock hens, and would like to get some wide bodies...

    Standard Bronze or Midget White turkey hatching eggs

    I received many extras, excellent packing, fast shipping. I do recommend that everybody who buys tells their post office what is coming and about when they are expected. For the first time ever, my package was left hanging in a bag on my mailbox. They have never done anything like this...

    Turkey breeders in eastern NC?

    I don't think I can justify the gas money to get that far west. I will be coming down 522 between Breezewood PA and Winchester VA. You are nowhere near that, sorry. Sometimes I come through on 79 and 77 to go somewhere else, but not this time. Maybe some other trip, take care!

    Comment by 'justsomeguync' in item 'Hatcheries, Day Old Chicks'

    I wouldn't necessarily assume that it was the hatchery's fault if I got dead and dying chicks a day late. Sitting in a warehouse an extra day sounds more like the postal service was to blame to me. I, like some above, have several generations of satisfied customers with Murray McMurray. Both of...

    Turkey breeders in eastern NC?

    Does anybody have a web address or other contact information for any heritage turkey breeders in eastern NC? I'm willing to travel to pick up poults or eggs. Would prefer eggs, trying to get them for the agriculture class at the local high school. Anybody have any names? Thanks.

    What are your favorite waterers and feeders?

    Does anybody know of a reason why I couldn't use a garbage/feed can with the pvc pipe out of the bottom and go straight to a trough? I am trying to work out something for my mother, who isn't as mobile as she used to be. With a 30 gallon can, I should be able to fit three bags of feed. I can...

    Organic Chicken/Eggs

    Quote: Telling your friends they are organic and qualifying for what the standards say is organic are two different things. From what I have read, it has to be from day two or three.

    cornish rock crosses, which rooster?

    Does is matter which parent is the Cornish for the cross broilers? Cornish rooster, Rock hen, or Rock rooster with Cornish hen, or does it not matter? I already have my chickens for this year, I have two Cornish roosters and six rock hens. I know what can happen when you assume, but I figured...

    Egg in an egg

    I got an egg from one of my young Red Stars today that was a monster. Some started laying about two weeks ago, they were hatched about the beginning of April. I was trying to blow it out to save the shell, but it wasn't working very well. I ended up breaking the shell, and then saw what the...

    I'm sick of the coons!!!

    Has anybody tried the Nite Guard lights? http://www.niteguard.com/ I have fox, raccoons, bears, etc, around here, so I ordered one and stuck it right next to the pop door. The rest of the coop is pretty well secured, but anything motivated could get into the run. I lost two hens last year...

    Introducing chicks to the flock

    I have the same concerns. I have three hens and a rooster about a year old, and 25 new chicks. I have two coops and two runs, and the runs share a common fence. My hope is that they will become familiar enough with each other through the wire that problem chickens will be less troublesome...

    Tractor supply source?

    Quote: Last year I got "Assorted Red Pullets", which I took to mean Red Star, Rhode Island Red, or New Hampshire Red hens. I got 4 Red Star hens, and 8 RIR roosters. Pretty roosters, but they didn't lay many eggs.

    Deformed eggs

    We feed them crushed egg shells, oyster shells, and change the water daily, dirty or not, and they only drink half of it by then, so I don't think it is any of those things. I have been looking for worms, even using my reading glasses, but have seen no hint of worms. Given the responses on...

    Deformed eggs

    These eggs aren't just thin shelled, they are deformed also. During the winter, they would have had little choice but to have eaten the layer pellets. The other Brahma and the Red Star eggs are just about bullet proof, so I really don't believe it is a diet issue. I really think these...
