    3 week old chicks and temperature concerns

The chicks turn 3 weeks tomorrow and the ducks will be 3 this weekend. The temps here are going to be a little crisp...

    Red Rangers

    I just got another batch of freedom rangers which i assume is similar if not the same as red rangers. I have had great success with the previous two batches. The ones in the fall put on alot more weight up to and after 9.5 weeks. Most of the weight was in fat and feather. I ended up using...

    Foamy eyes....respiratory? Ok to slaughter?? ASAP!
