    Fodder for Broilers

    Will definitely try it both ways. Phew, a lot of projects I want to start! Broilers on different kinds of feed, breeding Light Sussex and caponizing the males for future meat birds (Might even do an experiment crossing Light Sussex with CornishX). I see a busy year coming! Bring it on!

    Where did you get your broilers from? I am struggling to find some to raise myself. The first time we bought "broiler chicks" which turned out to be a lady selling all the Rooster chicks of a Red sex-link layer hatch. I had some ordered now, but the supplier had baboons break into his...
