Hey guys, I'm looking for a home for a mama hen and her 6 (4 day old) babies. Mama is a black australorp hatched from Meyer Hatchery the end of February. She's been raised on organic, fermented feed and has lived a happy life, free-ranging on 2.5 acres, and enjoys a coop at night. The babies are...

Nevermind.

Nevermind.

Did you follow any particular plans for this? This is exactly what we need to make for our chickens!

Anyone here have meat rabbits? I would like to buy a few breeders.

I would like to have meat rabbits on our little farm but the only local farm that raises them keeps them in terrible conditions. Are there any breeders out there that would ship rabbits to me to start breeding? Similar to a chicken hatchery, just for rabbits.

Bumping! In Grant over here.

I just received an order from Ideal. They shipped to me in Florida and got here on the early morning of the second day, all 29 alive. They did short me 1 bird but immediately refunded me when I called to let them know. One died within the first 48 hours from no visible cause, but all the rest...

Thank you very much!

I just received my order from Ideal yesterday. I was shorted one chick, but all 29 arrived healthy and happy. Unfortunately I did lose one this afternoon. There were no physical indicators as to cause of death, so it must have just been a weakling. I will be ordering from Ideal again since they...

Has anyone raised both of these? Are the CR comparable to the CX? When I called Ideal, they said the growth rate was "about the same" but does anyone here have any first-hand experience?

Received my box yesterday! I ordered 15 Buff Orpington (5 male, 10 female) and 15 Black Australorp (5 male, 10 female) and was shorted one BA. After contacting Ideal they promised to refund for a BA pullet. They all arrived alive, happy and energetic. They immediately got to eating and drinking...

Is there a hatchery close to Florida that sells Cornish X chicks? These next couple of months in Florida will be really mild and not excessively hot so I'd like to grow out about 50-100 while we have the good weather. I can't have any ship from too far or they'll die due to the cold everyone is...

Oh how exciting to see all of the chicks! We have 30 arriving (hopefully) tomorrow. 15 Buff Orpington and 15 Black Australorp. Hoping all arrive safely.
