This is the broody coop I use




I've put the Cuckoo Marans in there first as I might let 2 of the Cornish hatch out some eggs.

Two of my breeding pens are long and thin but that's only because i have a stock fence running alongside my garden fence so made scence to utilise it.
It's about 150' long by 4' wide and holds 2 pens.
These birds are allowed to free range every other day.

My other 2 fixed breeding pens are large squares and my movable electric mesh pen I use for my table growers is usually a large round shape.

Mrs C will get her kitchen back tomorrow as I have 24 Cornish chicks and 20 of my French Sasso chicks to deliver in the morning.

They have been camped out in the kitchen for the last week and she's getting a bit sick of them now

It's always good to get them moved out of living area. Plus that makes room for the next batch!

Which would be better for meat, dark or white Cornish. But has anyone heard of those red laces white?

 

[JRNash]

They use the white cornish primarily because most people don't like the dark pin feathers in the processed bird
