    How to make my own meat birds?

    Thanks for the info. Yes I have been researching hatcheries across the US and I understand it is a very difficult breed to find. I have found a private breeder in Texas but was hoping to find a private breeder in the PNW. My search and research continues. :jumpy

    How to make my own meat birds?

    Good Morning!! I'm still looking for anyone who is raising Standard White Cornish in the Pacific Northwest. I understand there was someone in Washington State possibly in the Yakima area but we seem to have lost contact with her. I have been buying shipped eggs from Texas. Not a good hatch...

    Breeding our own 'meats'...etc etc

    Good Morning! Here's an update on the chicks I hatched from my WR Rooster and Delaware and WJG hens. I was confusing auto sex with sex link. They were auto sex at hatch and they are all barred roosters...as I suspected from the white or yellow dots on their heads at hatch. I had set 7 eggs...

    Breeding our own 'meats'...etc etc

    I do have White Jersey Giant hens in this separated flock also. I just don't know which eggs are from the Delaware's or the Jerseys as they all use the same nest boxes. I believe all the hens are laying as I have 8 Delaware and 6 Jerseys and I'm getting 10 eggs on one day and 12 the next. Not...

    Turkey poult wont eat the game turkey crumble

    Well..... I use Oregano oil for coccidiosis. I did run that sentence together. It's wonderful that we have so many people on this forum that can give great suggestions and help each other out. Some have been at it longer than others but there is always a learning curve. We never know it all.

    Turkey poult wont eat the game turkey crumble

    Thank you for the information good to know. My waterer and food for my poults and chicks is never by a heat source. I use a Brinsea brooder not a heat lamp for a heat source I find they are much safer and better for the poults and chicks. I have never had a problem with using acv. :))

I do the same for chicks and them gradually mix in the regular feed with the ground so they can adapt to eating the...
