    Meat bird living quarters...

    I keep them in a 14 X 14 room, heated with lights.....they are actually quite active, but I contribute that to the warmth....The last 2 batches we had I kept them in a horse stall, which is a bit smaller....10 X 10...and they didn't do as well....I think it was to cold for them....I also learned...

    Post pics of your meat bird facilities

    Yup, warmth is one of the biggest things to have.....I also tend to add some vitamin B to the water supply, this seems to help stop the leg problems...I believe that when they are shipped, especially this time of year, it depleats the B levels.... Originally, I had 100 birds in one of my...

    Strangest Thing....

    Thankyou, April....I'll zip out and get some right away....I have put some Poly-Tonine A Complex into their water, but maybe not enough....I'll increase it a bit....I put the last batch of birds onto this when I had the 5 or 6 with leg problems....and a couple of them got better, so, I did add...

    Strangest Thing....

    They shouldn't be, the temperature is set at 95F and I also have 2 heat lamps should they need it. Most of the time they are away from the lamps...They seem content....eat, sleep and play....they seem to be a lively bunch....

    Strangest Thing....

    The chicks, which are a week old on Thursday, had a cold start....but, I thought that after loosing a few that the rest would be ok....When I went into the growing room tonight, I saw that 3 looked dead....They were on their backs, feet up in the air.....I picked one up and it started chirping...

    Shipping and Handling.....

    Adoptedbyachicken, what city do you live in? The chicks are doing well....We recently built a 14 X 14 area for the birds....We insulated the roof and walls. The floor is wooden and a good 2" thick.....We installed an electric wall heater, 1750 watts, as well as our heat lamps....they are very...

    Shipping and Handling.....

    Sorry, I'm not annoyed with the Hatchery, it's the policy of the Carrier with live cargo.... It seems senseless to me to go through the exercise of putting live animals on a plane when they know that there is a high percentage chance of doing a turn around....Then, waiting the length of time...
