    Cornish X pullet's first egg!

    Thanks! And Puerto Rico. She's definitely a CX, I just have them on a free range diet to avoid any health issues. They are around 6-8 months. The 3 pullets were runts and were the only ones that didn't get eaten/died from heart complications. They are around 8 pounds and as thick as they are...

    Cornish X pullet's first egg!

    Today one of my 3 CX pullets laid her first egg! Massive white egg, everyone that saw it said it looked like a dino egg. She and her two sisters will be the stars of a breeding project with a red broiler rooster. She is dirty because it's mango season and they spend all day picking apart rotten...

    Fastest maturing meat bird

    Supposedly Slow Grow Cornish broilers breed true, if the reviews are to be trusted. And they grow faster than the rangers.

    Cornish Rock chick - raising as pet?

    Here are some pictures of two of my girls eating mango. They are pretty smart, only took me one day to train them to flip the mango, eat the rotten ones and leave the good ones. Before they just pecked the good ones and ruined them.

    Cornish Rock chick - raising as pet?

    No problem! Remember to keep track of the weight, make sure it isn't growing too fast. If you want exact measurement, sbout 1/8-1/6 cup per day should be right.

    Cornish Rock chick - raising as pet?

    Correct, to a certain degree. If you leave out the food 24/7 it is going to over-eat. You need to control the food, either by feeding a measured ammount or leaving the feeder for 10-20 minutes a day. After about 4 weeks you can start supplementing greens and reducing the rations.

    Cornish Rock chick - raising as pet?

    Leafy greens like kale, lettuce, spinach shouldbe the basis. Fruits like apples, papaya, etc. It really depends on what is local to you and what is cheapest. Dandelion flowers and leaves are great if you know they are pesticide free.

    Any good grower should work, 14-16%, I buy from the local mills so can't recommend a brand.

    Cornish Rock chick - raising as pet?

    I have three girls that free range every day, and they are as happy as any other chicken in my farm. They love to jump, run, "fly" with the ducks, and although they weigh about 6 to 8 pounds, jump off of the roost and scare the others. I feed them once a day about a liter of food for around 30...

    Butchering PRGB mix bantams

    Believe me, when they get loud and rowdy is when I enjoy it. Nothing better than a quiet morning without them bickering.

    Butchering PRGB mix bantams

    Today I butchered 2 PRG cockerels, both about 20 weeks old, and was pleasantly surprised with the results. Final weight for both combined was 4 pounds 2 ounces. For homegrown birds that's pretty good!

    Welp slow grow whites

    Hi, does anyone have welp's slow grow whites? How have they performed for you? Has anyone kept them until maturity and if so, how did they behave? I ordered 25 for my birthday and wanted to know what to expect since there is little info online.

    Muscovy dux for meat thread

    Welp... Looks like it will be a thanksgiving single-serve meal with these ducks... The drakes are at 3.5 pounds. Free range, fed in the mornings, access to an acre of grass and trees, yet they didn't pass the 4 pound mark. Anyone got a good recipe for the ducky equivalent of cornish game hen?
