...I'm asking about is feather quality, length, color, etc. How big are the birds? (When I say big, I'm talking how their body and bones are built, not muscle, as the meat isn't a priority). Is their body/tail length comparable to breeder birds? Pictures would be *fantastic*.
Best regards,

...being affected and besides I think the minimum incubation period is 6 weeks, and like I mentioned before, most of my flock is 5 weeks or younger, and they are affected too.

So, I just got a Brinsea Octagon 20 incubator from a thrift store for pretty cheap compared to it's brand new price. It is in really good condition and even came with a hygrometer-thing and a candler, but the auto turn base isn't working very well. Instead of turning about three times a day...
It's large fowl, according to my friend. I did look on his website, but couldn't find a single breed that looks like that when it's a chick. I even checked the bantam section just to be sure, in case my friend was wrong, but there was nothing like him in there either.

I'd have to suggest Cornish. Not Cornish Cross, but regular old Cornish. I bought my Dark's at Murray McMurray hatchery, and butchered my first cockerel at about 15 weeks. He dressed out the just under 5 lbs. I have not had Cornish hens, so I can't personally comment on the laying ability, but I...
Hey! It's buffaloacres, well I mean it's me but on my account not my mom's, and I just wanted to say the turkey was AMAZING! The dark meat especially. I found the white meat a little flavorless, but I think that's because I only know what DP birds taste like, not meat breeds like BBWs... since I...
Hello! I was wondering if anyone could help me with picking out a breed of chicken for my first bunch of show quality birds? Me and my best friend are going to be buying hatching eggs, but can't seem to find any breeds we like that would be good for beginners.
We are looking for anything big...
