    Comb sexing chicks

    I just went out to my coop, and randomly checked 1 male and 1 female... and the nostril thing appears to be correct... will need to correlate more data from 1 day old chicks.

    Comb sexing chicks

    Does the comb move down past the nostrils when they get older? Can the same method be used always? Would love to know... I am going to use cable ties to identify what I think is male and what I think is female. Left leg for male, right leg for female. If I ever process a bird and it's female...

    Comb sexing chicks

    I have been battling with sexing my birds... only being able to sex them after a few months makes it difficult when choosing birds... For example, I do not want to buy to many females, otherwise I end up with to many eggs. And I only want to buy males to keep my meat stock right. I get my...

    Hello, my name is... Karl

    Yay, another ratter. Mine are not fancy like dumbo or rex, just straight forward rattus norviegus. I breed for colour. I did have one beautiful boy who was ptich black, sired by Coco and and born to Mary. Even his nose and toes were black. His name was Cadbury and he was my favourite, but...

    Chicken Slaughter

    Sorry for reviving an old thread, but thought I could share some interesting views... We have a very special way to slaughter an animal, and it's referred to a Schechitah. I will explain how I do it with a chicken... a more modern way than most of the Jewish people I have corresponded with...

    Hello, my name is... Karl

    Hi guys, I've been lurking on this site for months now... in fact most of what I have learned about chickens I have gotten from here, the rest I learned from a friend, Mike, who I get my chicks from. I am from Sunny Durban on the east coast of South Africa. My decision to get into chickens was...
