I'm interested in how Murray McMurray Hatchery's Sumatras turn out when fully grown. I'm considering adding a few to next year's order. I'm not asking about the show/standard quality of the birds, as any birds I do buy I intend to butcher, and tan their pelts/skins for use in some projects I am...

Please help! I have a flock of over 90 turkeys and chickens (1 guinea cock and some recent ducklings too) who are all loosing massive amounts of weight in only about a week. Virtually every bird I have is extremely skinny, even my Cornish Cross. But these birds are still eating insane amounts of...

Oh, it is? Well great then! Thank you very much!

So, I just got a Brinsea Octagon 20 incubator from a thrift store for pretty cheap compared to it's brand new price. It is in really good condition and even came with a hygrometer-thing and a candler, but the auto turn base isn't working very well. Instead of turning about three times a day...

It's large fowl, according to my friend. I did look on his website, but couldn't find a single breed that looks like that when it's a chick. I even checked the bantam section just to be sure, in case my friend was wrong, but there was nothing like him in there either.

Hi! So, my friend just got about a dozen Silver Penciled Rocks from Dick Horstman, and two little packing peanuts came with them. I am wondering the breed? She actually wants it to be a surprise, so I won't be telling her until they're grown, but I'm just curious. Here's the pics she sent me of...

I'd have to suggest Cornish. Not Cornish Cross, but regular old Cornish. I bought my Dark's at Murray McMurray hatchery, and butchered my first cockerel at about 15 weeks. He dressed out the just under 5 lbs. I have not had Cornish hens, so I can't personally comment on the laying ability, but I...

Good idea! I'll definitely try that next time we get a turkey!

Hey! It's buffaloacres, well I mean it's me but on my account not my mom's, and I just wanted to say the turkey was AMAZING! The dark meat especially. I found the white meat a little flavorless, but I think that's because I only know what DP birds taste like, not meat breeds like BBWs... since I...

Hello! I was wondering if anyone could help me with picking out a breed of chicken for my first bunch of show quality birds? Me and my best friend are going to be buying hatching eggs, but can't seem to find any breeds we like that would be good for beginners. We are looking for anything big...
