It is just down the road from me. So I wouldnt have to ship it. The amazon one doesnt have a turner. I guess my main concern is that it is not brand new. Is that a concern?
Hovabator Model 2362 slightly used with a turner for a $100. Is this a good deal? Or should I hold out a little while a get a better one? Or is this a good one?
I had the same issue after a weasel attack. How deep is it? Is there blood flow to the lower leg? In my case I wrapped it with a dressing after treating with peroxide. The leg ended up dying from the damage so I amputated and now she is super.
Has anyone butchered their Giants? How long does it take before they have a decent carcass? I've heard 6-9 months..... Can they be roasters at that age or are they to tough?
What do you think of what this guy has to say about the JG as meat birds?
Well, it has been hobbling around for a week and has been doing fine. The leg was rotting so to speak so it wasnt using it anyway. It was the only way to keep him alive.
I had to amputate my JG chicks leg last night. Last night I noticed it was gang green so I cut it off. It is still doing well this AM and getting around super. Hope all goes well.
So we have come to an arrangement. I am going to grow them to 4 lbs (8 weeks of age) and sell them for $2.50/lb live weight. He has no problem with me ramping production slowly and is in desperate need of a supplier. He is actually pleasant to work with. This will at least give me a steady...
