    I took the separation pretty hard. I had joined fresh out of high school with grand plans of search and rescue and retiring in the service. Fortunately I was able to get my bachelor of science in nursing finished up the semester before my discharge. Now I just have to find a job that meets my...

    I am considering breeding my male and female SF, where can I find the standards of the breed so I can learn about them before I fully commit? I ordered hatching eggs because I love the way they look. They hatched may 9th so almost 8 weeks old. Not quite breeding age so I have sone time to research.

    Do any of you know of anybody in the Dallas Texas area that caponizes. My mom has a cockerel she really likes but does not want ANY roosters. She wants to keep the capon as a pet. I hatched him on May 12th putting him at 7 weeks old. He is a barnyard mix of dual purpose and lating breeds. Any...

    There is a really great thread about FF in the meat bird section.

    Chick isn't growing, no idea what to do

    One of the chicks I hatched may 13th is maybe 1/3 the size of the rest of the chicks I hatched. I gave her to my mom a couple weeks ago and she really just hasn't seemed to grow. She is a barnyard mix, rumpless but that is all I know. She hatched the same couple days as the ones around her, do...

    Ok, so I have been following this thread for a bit and I still don't know what a slip is. I haven't ever raised meat birds, but am really hoping to in the not too distant future. I saw roos are cheaper than st run and pullets, is this because the meat tends to be tougher. I may need to learn to...
