    Red Broiler chicks eat all their own POOP

    I dunno. They keep the brooder super clean.... but the stupid things, i fear, are going to get sick.

    Red Broiler chicks eat all their own POOP

    I have a batch of 2week old red broilers... Feeding broiler rations, fermented feed, ACV in water, and raw milk occasionally. It appears as if they enjoy eating each others poop. The brooder is devoid of any poo and I have many, many times watched one squat and another scarf it right...

    Ideals Red Broilers, Have you had them?

    I am at a complete loss.... So its a hybrid and wont breed true... 1. Obviously its offspring arent going to be "leghorns" 2. They arent going to come out same as parents Question: So is the offspring going to be *some* mother parent breed and *Some* father parent breed?

    World record meatie? 22lb?

    Largest an irresponsible chicken owner can get a BROILER!?!?!?!

    CLOSE THREAD edit: My lack of chicken experiance led me to believe it was foolish to grow broilers past 8weeks or the flock would start dying of heart failure and having leg problems. If I started out with 30 broilers and only 1 survived to 6months just because im to lazy to put them out...

    Raising Silkies For meat

    This is so humorous I couldn't help but drop by the thread. Don't they have black meat? Unless your selling to a niche market of japanese culinary conisours id give up that endeavor. The feed conversion alone would put off anyone else considering the idea... Broilers are .90 each at...
