Chicken dinner.

I just had one that died. I did a test hatch and got three. Two roosters and a hen. One of the roosters died. He was five months old. No mold on the corn.

Has anyone on the fourm had a chicken choke on whole corn? Had a Cornish and Freedom Ranger cross just up and die after feeding whole corn. Nice heavy bird too.

I have three chicks that hatched this spring. They are a cross with a freedom ranger hen and a dark cornish rooster. They are very dense and heavy even though they had no special feed. They are very hardy birds. Good luck.

I tried a method a lady suggested on the forum. You always offer food to the rooster first. My dark cornish was so mean that when I picked him he would bite me through my gloves. I had mean roosters before and rough treatment just made them meaner. I tried this but I was doubtful, but it worked...

I have a Dark Cornish that I raised from a chick. I handled him alot. He was starting to be mean, he drew blood with my gloves on. A person on the foum said that a rooster thinks your are another rooster when you are around the hens. You should offer treats or food to him first, because another...

My last Freedom ranger hen died yesterday from the heat. The first one died from egg prolaps. They were good laying hens. I did get three chicks from them with a dark cornish rooster. So far good looking chicks.

I crossed Buffs with Cornish x. I hatched out two roosters that got huge. I was going to cross with my Freedom Ranger hens. They were to big or stupid to do the deed. I dressed them out. They looked like small turkeys.

Quote: I have two Freedom Ranger hens that I kept. They are doing fine, and laying good. My problem is the Cornish x and Buff Orp cross is to stupid to be a rooster. Then are very hardy. They love to come out and eat grass when I open the coop door. They look like they are grazing. Good luck.

Anyone notice the skin gets real tough on a older rooster. Killed two yesterday, and had a hard time pulling the skin off. They were about a year old.

I tried standing up to a Dark Cornish and it just made him meaner. I read on the forum about makeing friends with a rooster with food. It works. At first he held back when I offered the girls treats, but now he is the first to take treats. Big difference.

My Amerucana rooster, Fur Neck from John Blemn is one of the sweetest roosters I have been around. He is standard. I have a bantam rooster called Little Gray is also sweet and loves to be held.

P.T. Barmum said it well. There is a sucker born every sixty seconds.

Quote: Good looking big bird.

Quote: Good for you. You must have the secret.

I had Golds in with chickens, thought they were doing fine. Bam, they both died. Don't do it.

Thank- you all.

Which hatchery has the best Delawares true to breed.

Quote: I will have to mortgage the farm to buy twenty-five chicks. Boy are they expensive.
