We are pretty dual purpose here. We culled about 25 roos this summer and have 4 left. I kept 2 Delaware Roos (because they have grown very fast for a purebreed), a BA roo, and an EE roo. We have around 20 heavy hens. We ordered 8 colored broilers and I plan on retaining a couple of them...

Thank you! They are doing great.

So not normaly? It would just be ducks with ducks, no chickens or cats.

Mine do, we have a black and a shagbark. No one's dead yet.

There are basically freedom rangers (JM poultry) then a host of others labeled as "red broilers", "black broilers", "slow broilers" etc. sold by many hatcheries. I just got my first ones, so other than saying they are cute, I couldn't tell you how good they are as meat birds yet.

I know the girls are! Are the boys quite like most male ducks, or loud mouths?

That's very nice! I am going to print it up and put it in my chicken folder

I don't know if they do, but think about 700 kids in a high school. They establish a pecking order!

Wow. I am sorry I took the time to answer newbie questions in a what I thought was a casual, respectable way. If you don't want personal answers, maybe just use google.

They are probably all going to be fertile if you have a roo. Hens only need to be fertilized every couple weeks, each egg doesn't need to be fertilized individually. If you don't want babies, collect your eggs 2x a day and they won't ever develop. If fertilized eggs gross you out, sell the roo.

I really like how fast and wide the Delaware boys have grown. They are much bigger than our biggest old hen, and have been since about 4 months. A Delaware and a colored broiler cross, hmm, that's an idea. Maybe I'll spare a broiler

Mine are much darker from the pullets. They just started and they are a carmel brown. However the older hens are much lighter, so it could just be her age showing.

Quote: I know, I'm going to have to stop looking at it because I keep going "aawwww!" I'll never be able to eat it if I keep that up If it's a Cambell you don't want to eat it. They lay really well!

GRRRRRRRR! Seriously, I am shocked when I get someone here within an hour of the scheduled time. I wish dh was handy

I would soak, cook, and feed. I think the issue with soy is a protein in them needs to cook to be digestible. Can't rember the details. You could always save them for seed if they aren't a hybrid. That's what I a doing here. We have a bumper crop of soy and limas.

If you are allegic to pine, then straw. Of course you may have other issues and straw may be bad too. In that case I would go with sand.

I have vinyl over plywood.

I only would count the bread as treats myself.

These are things I have in my yard in Michigan, with chickens ( hawks, eagles, and falcons) that I would buy again. Burning bush. Good camo, pretty, not too expensive for a good size. Naturally rustic so a leaf missing doesn't make it look awful. White pine. Grows big fast. Holds a good...

Very pretty girls!
