    Feathers missing & a very sore looking back.

    Cockerel. Commercial feed. We can separate him. Does he have a chance to survive? It is 3 weeks ‘TIL we take them to be processed.

    Feathers missing & a very sore looking back.

    Chick feed ????s

    Everything I read suggests we want a minimum of 20% protein in the chick starter. I live in Ontario, Canada. Two different feed places I've approached ONLY sell 18% protein chick starter. I've been advised that turkey starter has 28% protein and duck starter has 22% protein. Is it ok to feed...

    “Newbie” Housing ???

    Hello

    Oh dear.....this post has raised some concerns. I answered a question incorrectly. Is the man cave indoors? Yes. I was interpreting that question as being, was it in the house? and the answer to that is “no”. It is a separate structure. It is a 30’ x 40‘ building, and in one part of it there...

    Hello

    We are only raising them for 8 weeks, and doing prep to protect the man cave. We may be very naive....might have to make a new plan for next year’s group.
