Now that is something to consider? They are first gen chicks directly from GFF. I wouldn't think they would have gotten that far into line breeding though??
I do worm everyone 2X a year, rotating from ivermec then safeguard. I can deff give it a shot as these boys have not yet been wormed. They...
This is Goliath, our no issues young man.
I love this fella so I'm afraid to name him. Typical stance.
Almost looks like the under chest is underdeveloped?
Very shaky legs. They are getting a tad better now that it's show off and mate time.
See how dirty the belly is from...
I can try and get some pics today.
They are pure, I'm sure. Could I have fed them too much when they were little? They always had free access and ate non-stop.
Thanks for the help!!!!
I need some help here. I have 2 white breese that turned out to both be cockerels. One has always seamed to have leg problems. Acting like one of the fast growing white US meat birds. The legs are set far apart to support the massive weight, no abnormalities felt, but he prefers to lay down all...
Our feed store just ran out. I was dreading it! I can't wait till they start getting it in again!!! I think I have enough to last another one and a half months. :/
I have read they free-range till finishing time. I found the info on GFF's site.

Thank you so much Ron!
I got them in a trade from last year and we just recently received them. I hope to get the other soon or next spring. Fingers crossed!
Thanks for the help. But, we just tested neg for a rainbow of labs due to another problem. Mareks was one of the things tested for. This happened about 1.5-2 weeks ago. I do wonder if she could have hit her head or another like accident? If it's not a common issue with Breese, it must have been...
Pardon me. This thread is overwhelming and I can't seem to find the info I need. I had 3 chicks and they amaze me at how they are easily double the weight of my other lf of the same age. My only female seems to have had a stroke? She was flipping to the left and unable to move the left side. I...
Lol, I believe there has been some confusion.
2236+16+15=2267 Old count.
I have around 100 chickens, not counting turkey or ducks, lol!
I have many mixed from our flock we use for meat. Most are cochins, sex-links, olive eggers, ameraucanas, polish, easter eggers, australorp, buttercup...
