    Hi all. I just received my 4 blue swedish ducklings. Does anyone use electrolyte and vitamins in the water?

    Temperature and poultry sex

    Happy New Year!! I was wondering if anyone has heard of any study involving temperature of incubation and resulting sex of poultry. The reason I ask is I know alligator eggs may all be only one sex or another, depending on the temperature. I just thought it would be interesting if there was a...

    So I have heard some things about Cornish X's

    My first batch of cx's are 4 weeks old. Mine are in a tractor. I also give them electrolytes for three days in a row every other week. No problems so far. Good luck.

    vacuum bagging

    You all were so great about responding about my freezer question. How about vacuum bagging. I've read a few reviews and all I seem to come up with is they are no good.

    Freezer preference

    I'm leaning toward a chest. They are cheaper.

    Open Letter to the People who FREAK OUT because I eat my chickens.....

    I agree with all of you. I have had chickens for eggs for almost two years now. I enjoy them so much and love providing eggs for my family and neighbors. A funny sidenote, I offered some eggs to my brother in-law last time we saw him. He was very reluctant and wondered if they should be...

    Freezer preference

    Thanks for the replies. I was wondering, on the upright is the automatic defrost a problem? I thought it might cause more freezer burn?

    Freezer preference

    Now that we've taken the plunge and ordered these cornish x we need to buy a freezer. Does anyone have a preference on chest or upright? Brands?

    First batch of meaties! I'm so proud of myself for taking the plunge

    Most of my chickens are from Ideal too. The cornishx are from them as well. I'll have to post some pics to my page soon. All of my chickens have been very friendly also.

    First batch of meaties! I'm so proud of myself for taking the plunge

    I want to start raising our own cornish crosses too. I'm not sure about the best way. I know the crosses dont live long. Are you crossing cornish and rocks or what. That is my next step. Been trying to do research. This whole thing is an experiment. I would love to "grow" our own.

    First batch of meaties! I'm so proud of myself for taking the plunge

    I'm a newbie for the most part. I've had egg layers for a year and a half. I enjoy my chickens so much and I finally decided I need to take the next step to self sufficiency and ordered my first batch of Cornish crosses. Got them yesterday. I am excited about this new adventure and very...

    Should I separate hen from chicks?

    I have a hen that has six week old chicks. She and her chicks are separated from the rest of flock. She is one of 7 hens all raised together. I tried to let everone out to free range together and all seemed to be going well. The others didn't pay much attention to the chicks and they were...

    My girls bottom, with picture....please help me.

    One of my hens had poop caked on too. I washed it off and gave everyone yogurt. I haven't had a problem since. I give all 7 hens a plate full of the small cups of yogurt about every two weeks. The last time I gave them peach. They love it. If you try this I would like to know if it helps...
