    Just Completed 1st Slaughter Day -- Now I have questions!

    I bought some Cornish X back in July, and for some reason it took them foreverrrrrr to be ready for slaughter. Anyhow, I just finished them up a couple of days ago, and now I am full of questions. I've read a lot of other posts of course, and did a lot of research, but I would really like some...

    What else can I do for coccidiosis in my brooder?

    I think that I read somewhere that you shouldn't give electrolytes with the corid. Research this as I'm not somewhere that I can. I am quite sure that I read the reasoning for this is because you are trying to starve the cocci, and the electrolytes actually feeds them?

    How many of you FULLY Free Range your Cornish X Meaties? Tractors do not count.

    Ugh so my Cornish X are well over 8 weeks now, and still really small. Is this common with free ranging? I expected it to take them quite a while longer, but these things draw in the predators like no other, and they randomly drop dead. Am I doing something wrong?

    Cocci Vaccine - CocciVac -- Is it effective?

    Thanks everyone for the input. I was reading some articles from organic producers. Apparently it is okay for them to use the cocci vaccine, but not medicated food. This is why I was so interested in it. I still may choose to vaccinate for cocci just to try it out, but I'm not sure yet. I think...

    Anyone here like reptiles?

    haha yes I have my own house, but when I was younger I was constantly trying to talk my parents into all kinds of animals. Now I have a husband that is just as bad as me. It is weird because I have a 3 year old son so I actually have lizards (and a dog) that is older than my child. lol I'm...

    HAWK

    All of my fox attacks have been between 9 am and noon. When I finally saw them the other day it was around 10:30 in the morning -- in broad daylight. And then the baby foxes that I've had feeding recently don't eat the entire thing. The large foxes just take the entire chicken with them. These...

    44 Eggs Set Today on Homemade Fridge Incubator

    I want to follow this so that I can see how it goes. My husband is in school for mechanical engineering, and I told him to talk one of his teachers into letting him make one of these for a project so that I can have it at home. I figure he can somehow make it relate to thermodynamics and...
