    Any secret recipes or tips on fattening broilers (Ross Cobbs)?

    Looking to get a few Cobbs in again for Christmas, a little bit put off this time though as I never made any profit last time when I did it about 3 years ago and it was just a huge waist of time to be honest. I was just feeding them on fattening pellets, lost a few a long the way and by the time...

    What do you do with Day old roosters?

    I know how to do it, But I cant be doing that to an animal when its not under an anaesthetic of some kind. I never knew that about the growth rate though! And I think its also illegal here in the UK. :L

    What do you do with Day old roosters?

    Best way that, Sharing is caring. Too bad today's world isn't quite like that. But yeah theres no need to charge, especially for stuff you dont need. I give away all the roosters I could to save me the guilt of killing too many, at the same time I wouldn't want them treat poorly, But couldn't...

    What do you do with Day old roosters?

    Cheers for the comments of support guys- Just an update, Thankfully we got mostly hens, and most of the roosters I got went, Hopefully for the right reasons. Sadly a couple were dispatched humanly and given to the ferrets which I knew would happen. @Lovinchicks, I've hatched Welsummers. Very...

    What do you do with Day old roosters?

    I didn't put in the ad that I'm going to kill and feed the chicks to my ferrets. I just stated on this thread that any left over will be fed to the ferrets. I've obviously upset a few people on this thread, That isn't what I plan to do. I refuse to keep the roosters for the simple fact is I...

    laying chickens vs meat chickens

    What meat chickens are you thinking of getting? Will you be in a hurry to fatten them up? See if you want to fatten them quick its best to get some Cobbs, Stick them in a smallish shed and feed them on fatteners pellets, They'll fly up. Where'as if you free range them it'll take 5 times longer...

    What do you do with Day old roosters?

    What do you do with Day old roosters?

    Thats great, And yes they do taste a lot better. I may keep a couple back to raise and eat, But not all, I couldn't. Too much to raise as stated. I have ferrets and dogs myself, I could dispose of the dead chicks easily, and it'd be cheaper for me. Problem for me is I'd feel terrible killing the...
