    Profit on meat birds

    Bossroo- True I guess I can't call them organic. I know NOTHING about raising meat chickens. I was just assuming I'd feed them my laying pellets that I feed my layers. What DO i feed them? PaulaJoAnne: $27 a bird!!! That's insane, but I guess it's the price you pay for real food! Not sure...

    Profit on meat birds

    I am thinking of purchasing some meat chics and growing them out for friends, family and myself. I really only have room for about 25 birds right now. (I also have egg-layers). I'm doing the math, and maybe I'm missing something. It will cost me $7 a week to feed them (and I'm going on what my...

    So Guineas like onion plants huh?

    tcmstalcup- wow you really are close. That's hard to come by when you live in West Texas isn't it? I may try the fencing, I'm wondering if just placing chicken wire or deer netting over the rows would work okay. Our garden is huge, about half an acre so it will take a lot of work. But maybe...

    So Guineas like onion plants huh?

    Why do they act like they are starving?

    Yes I have plenty of scratches on the car. So they eventually stopped getting on it? That's reassuring for sure. I'm definetely going to try to put a feeder further out. Thanks!

    Why do they act like they are starving?

    They do go into the coop at night with the chickens. The only other thing I feed them other than scratch is some scraps from the house. I will start feeding them higher protein feed, now that I've found this site! Thanks for your replies, I am hoping to get them used to being further away from...

    Why do they act like they are starving?

    We run our 17 guineas with our 15 hens and 2 roosters. Every morning the guineas have gotten used to me throwing the chickens scratch so they begin squawking at my door on my porch around 7am. This drives me NUTS! SO I have a few questions.. 1. Any ideas on keeping poultry away from the house...
