Happy Holidays to all! I know this is not the "selling" thread or section but I need to sell my birds and I do not ship out of State. After 3 years of blood, sweat and tears of finding and breeding now I forced to sell. I have Dark Cornish that are 95% Keith lines with 5% Herring. No...

Quote: No Chad they aren't born big per say, they will lay on bone mass first then muscle, then another bone spurt then the final touch of mass and shape. True good breeder or show stock may take in upwards of 18 mo before they really look good. I try not to even think about culling the good...

A Question for all you pros! I just hatched 10 DC. They all have the same Rooster and there are 6 hens but I think only 3 were laying. Some of the chicks have beautiful WIDE flat heads and some are a little small for me. Everyone says they are slow to develop and just wait and they will...

Rachel's Hobby Hatchery : Quote: COOL!!! what do you breed??? I should have some Lt. Sussex

If you want the Best and kill everything you listed then I would recommend 1-Stroke Environ or Tektrol. The list of what it kills is a novel and leaves things smelling like a hospital. The are labeled for poultry operations. I use it to disinfect the barn before calving and it works great!!

Great Goals! What are your Idaho royals?

First to breed and raise my own Dark Cornish Second, to breed some crosses, like all you big shots.(Al,Kathy, Jeff,Steve) I know that I have left many out and I apologize! I have 25 CX pullets to use with my dark cornish and sussex. I hate being impatient! Good luck to all!!

They are plentiful here. I mean packs of 4 or more, They wake you up ay night and lay down in the cattle pastures waiting for the best treat ever! (placenta) I hate them! They will tease dogs to chase them and then gang up and kill and eat the dogs. they do not kill enough deer and cause...

Very Very nice Steve! I hope they do all you expect them too.

I would be!
