I'm very curious about what makes the meat taste different too. I grow a good size garden and this year my basil was amazing wondering if you add basil or any herbs if it makes any difference and will it do anything to my layers eggs flavor 🤔
Personally I just wanted happy healthy non injected humanly raised chicken. I hunt deer for red meat and fish as well bc I can't stand the idea of factory farmed animals. I just don't want to support it. I believe in meat eating but I believe in respecting the animals as well. Some of my family...
I'm currently growing out 10 cornish cross they are 4 weeks. Very happy healthy birds. I have been feeding just regular meat bird feed no medicated feed. I was thinking of changing over to organic after a friend talked to me about it. Would it make any difference at this point to change it...
Yeah they are very happy with what I have done so far. If I cut opening in the roof what about water getting in? Do you think if I replace some of the tin on top with the clear kind that would work for some more light? I'm worried about tree limbs falling tho too.

I got permission to use this barn for chickens. Been working on it a few weeks. It's 18x20 or pretty close to it. How many chickens would live comfortably in there also keeping the smell down. I planned to fill it with wood chips not the bagged stuff like real wood chips from the tree trimmers...
8 successful happy and healthy quail chicks are running jumping happy! One got almost all the way hatched and when I checked on it it never made it out all the way none of the eggs left were pipped so I decided to open it get the already hatched ones out and into the brooder the one was dead...
Candled last night and I have two that are moving! It looks to me like they are mostly going to develop around the same time but two or three look like they are ahead of the game a little getting really excited now!
Candled again very visible veins! Looks like 14 of the 18 are developing! 4 were completely clear still in the incubator but separated in a different row one egg is almost completely covered in large spots so can't see veins but over half the egg is not clear so I'm assuming it is developing...
