    Coccidia Outbreak Feedstore Closed!!!!

    Meaties: What age do you recommend?

    Just a loop, no figure 8. It works by putting the loop over the testicle and pulling back on the line, closing the loop into the straw. It grabs the testicle and pulls it off. The point of doing this is to remove the testicles before testosterone has any say in how the bird matures, so doing...

    Quote: Im going to be completely honest with you because I have read literature that said that the surgery doesn't hurt the bird. They didn't seem like they were in excruciating pain but you could tell it hurt. People that say it doesn't hurt them are full of it but when faced with the other...

    Quote: I've heard conflicting stories about this and since this is my first ever time doing it I can't tell you either way. I seem to think that it may reduce the crowing but not eliminate it. the only way to do that is to have it professionally done I think.

    Quote: It is ancient, but that doesn't mean it won't work! When you say that they grow bigger, faster, and tastier than a cornish x, do you mean that the standard breeds (buff orp, australorp, etc) will put on weight faster and taste better than a cornish? And about how much time do you...
