    Red Rangers - 8 weeks - live weight 4 to 6.25 pounds - thoughts??

    I think most of the Reds are a hybrid- expect some performance lost in the resulting generations. I agree completely with you about the cornish x...we raised some last fall. Never again! They just can't handle a pasture system. You can buy Red hatching egss, but have you considered a...

    Red Rangers vs Freedom Rangers

    We raised over 50 Red Rangers on pasture last summer. It was hot, hot, hot here, too. I couldn't have been more pleased with how they performed. As far as Reds v. Freedoms, I'm not too sure there's that much difference. Just a hunch, though. We're going to try Freedoms this summer (we've...

    CSU - Chicken State University- Large Fowl SOP

    CSU - Chicken State University- Large Fowl SOP

    Just started with our Mottled Javas this winter. Bought all that a breeder in North Carolina had; 4 breeds were too many. They descend from Urch, Bowen and Schuessler lines. Looking forward to reading more about others and their Javas!
