    pullet or cockerel Delaware crosses

    These 9 chicks hatched 3 days ago and I think I'm seeing some differences between the pullets and cockerels on one cross. The rooster is a purebred Delaware from SandHill Preservation Center. The hens are either white Chantecler, Range Sussex (Dorking and Speckled Sussex cross) and chocolate...

    Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

    Hi, I'm new to using BackYard Chickens so I hope I'm doing this right. I wanted to check if anyone in the southwestern WI area would have hatching eggs for sale. I've been checking Ebay for hatching eggs but am shying away from that option because I don't want them to freeze in shipping and...

    25 week old orpington roo skinned ready to be cooked for soup. Just ate a 27 week old light Brahma roo and was surprised at how good the meat was. Lots of leg meat but the meat was tender and mild. Rested in the fridge for 3 days before cooking. Cooked on simmer for about 4 to 5 hours...

    6 week old Delaware weight

    6 week old Delaware weight

    We have the same goal here. Though we only have carcass weights for our birds I thought I'd share our experience with the Delawares incase it's helpful in some way. This was our first year trying the Delawares for meat. We purchased our Delawares from SandHill Preservation Center...

    Looking for good quality Buckeye breeder

    Looking for a good quality breeder of Buckeyes. The reason I'm steering away from a hatchery is that I want them for meat mostly not eggs.

    Chicken Breed Focus - Buckeye

    I know this is an old thread but I'm having trouble locating a good breeder in my area for Buckeyes. I'm in southwest Wisconsin. May I ask where you purchased your Buckeyes from? I believe Duane Urch is retired now.
