I have 4 red sex links and one rir. They are about 16 weeks and so far two are laying though only three eggs between the two in the past week. All three eggs were double yokers.... hoping the volume picks up this week.
Thank you for your replies and welcomes. I am so siked, I'll atleast have 6 single size servings to go along with the burgers, dogs, and sausage...mmm. This site is invaluable, I've been teaching my boss about chickens and he has had his for over a year. i showed him a picture of the coop today...
I ordered chicks from Ideal and they sent 6 males for "warmth and comfort". I plan on taking them to the butcher when they are old enough and so what age should I take them to the butcher? I am hoping that they will be meaty enough by July 4th and I want to avoid the crowing so not to disturb...
