    Moving to Colorado

    Howdy, I am likely moving to Colorado pretty soon. I am trying to find a place in between Colorado Springs and Denver to live. Can someone tell me of a good area that is either agriculturally zoned or that allows backyard chickens with roosters? I don't know much about the area and would...

    Raising Dove For Meat - How Often Do They Lay?

    I am thinking about getting into raising dove for meat. I love dove, but am not a great shot. ;) Can someone tell me how many eggs they lay during a given time period? If I raised them how many birds could I expect to harvest during a given period of time? Thanks for your time! :)

    Processing Day Support Group ~ HELP us through the Emotions PLEASE!

    Ok thanks. I didn't notice any lethargy or discoloration. Is this one of those things where I should butcher it in the morning or can it wait a day or two?

    Processing Day Support Group ~ HELP us through the Emotions PLEASE!

    Today is week 8 for my Cornish crosses. I have one that started doing this gurgling thing when it breathes. No nasal discharge or anything like that. Just a deep gurgle on in and out breaths. I wanted to give it another week to grow some more, but it looks like I will have to butcher it this...

    Finisher Feed: What is it?

    Can somebody explain to me the purpose of finisher feed? Why not just use the grower feed until the bird is full grown? Thanks!

    Chicken butt has maggots :(

    This is my first time raising Cornish Crosses. All of them have poopy butts which I gather is fairly normal. However, one has a nice maggot infestation on his butt. I washed it to clean it up and in doing so found that a lot of his butt has been chewed up by the maggots. I am guessing I am...
