    How many hens for each cock?

    I had 2 roosters and 14 hens. They would gang up on the hens it was aweful. We ate one rooster, and now the hens are MUCH happier.

    What is the difference between slow and fast cornish?

    Thanks greyfields, I had NO idea how involved the breeding is, all so interesting. So as far as feed goes, a slow cornish takes about 4 weeks longer to grow so is the feed about the same or would you come out ahead $$ wise on a fast cornish.

    What is the difference between slow and fast cornish?

    Yes, I ordered the slow cornish off of the meat birds catagory. I wonder if I should have just ordered fast cornish? I guess slow cornish isn't supposed to have the health issues of a fast . Well, it is fun trying new things. thanks

    I think I'll be ok with 5 weeks until the craft show. I'll have my daughter sell the freshest first of course. She is so excited. Thanks everyone.

    What is the difference between slow and fast cornish?

    They are just little yellow fluff balls. I ordered them from Privett Hatchery advertised as slow cornish. So are cornish a good tasting bird? will they dress out at the large weight as a cornish x just take longer to reach that weight?

    When do you wash the eggs?

    If you wash them, how long will they last? Can eggs sit in the fridge for a month or only a couple of weeks?

    Portable Chicken Pen

    Your absolutely right. I think I will attempt to build one myself and if it turns bad I'll take advantage of the fact that my DH actually gave me the go ahead to order one. I was shocked, he never wants to spend money, but then again he really hates do it yourself projects.
