Chicken Coop/Rabbit hutch combo that works! Pics of my design...
Hi Morelcabin, Thank you so much for your post. I have been wanting to rabbits for a long time but we're kind of short on space. This will help me integrate both and makes sense as far as keeping them in the same building without intermingling them. A few questions though. What is maximum...- Callmechef

Brian, My prayers go out to you , your family, and your birds. I'm so glad that towns like livingston and rockaway are so much more forward thinking. If there is anything I can do to help please let me know. We are in livingston and we have eight hens ourselves. I would definitely fight if...- Callmechef

Dose anyone out there raise Cornish x? Do you have anything special you do for their care? I bought eight chicks on Saturday and I'm down to 5. They keep dying on me and I'm getting frustrated. We have raised 10 chicks so far and never had this problem. Could use some help. Thank you- Callmechef

I also just picked up 2 hens from Schaefer farms in flemington nj. They had a nice selection and prices were more than reasonable. Give them a call and...- Callmechef

Mame, I see that you have strong feelings about this subject, but I have to respectfully disagree with you on all counts. I am very sorry you have had bad experiences with this breed, but my experience has been very much the opposite. I have seen these birds both at polyface farms in Virginia...- Callmechef

Mame, No, we've never had them, but I have done a lot of research on them. They sound like great meat birds with a great ROI. There is really nothing frankenbird about them; just a chicken that is selectively bred to turn good feed into great meat quickly. I have even emailed Joel salatin about...- Callmechef
