    Bresse Chickens

    GFF = greenfire farms? I thought they only sold chicks. I can't afford $30/chick like their website says!

    Bresse Chickens

    What an interesting thread! I was trying to read the whole thing before posting but only made it about 2/3rds of the way :) Does anyone have hatching eggs for sale? I think in about a month I'll be ready - so I thought if someone had a list I'd be happy to pay to be put on it? thanks very...

    Chicken Feet - Worth the trouble?

    IMO the feet really make the stock something special. But try it with and without and see what you like best?

    Help with jumbo cx chicks

    CrazyTalk - do you think 18% is restricting protein? as opposed to 21% I mean... just curious. Although I've raised a few batches of meat chickens, there's always more to learn :) thanks!

    Selling excess meat birds.

    I think that's a really fair price for pastured all natural chicken :) And don't supermarkets charge more for skinless, boneless chicken? What a racket, huh?

    Help with jumbo cx chicks

    I can't see that a few % less protein would cause leg problems - it would just slow their growth. How much do they weigh? Personally, I'd give them a bit of yogurt (or something along those lines for additional calcium) and pay attention to which ones go after it. If it's the ones that are...

    Selling excess meat birds.

    Hi - yes I do :) I sell them cleaned and packaged. I bought bags that shrink wrap in almost-boiling water in about 10 seconds (so it doesn't cook the chicken at all). I sell them to friends and family, and charge $1.00 more per pound than it costs me. About $4.00/lb for organic chicken...

    Harvesting in evening

    Like the OP said, it doesn't matter as long as you're careful and don't puncture the organs. Remember the final processed weight will be around 2/3 live weight, so if he's 5 lbs now, you'll have a 3 lb roaster. I personally would wait a bit - seems small for all the work that's involved with...

    Red Rangers vs Freedom Rangers

    Red Ranger vs Freedom Ranger.... do they look different? My male freedom rangers went to process at 11 weeks and the females at 13 weeks - each batch weighed in around 5 lbs processed weight. I was disappointed that the girls needed another 2 weeks, but I think it was because the boys would...

    2013 birds in the freezer

    Very cool! Have you thought of doing fermented feed? That would reduce your cost even more. Although getting your organic feed for ~15.00/bag sounds like a great deal too :)

    Chicken hawk Attack! Graphic... Please help!

    I've had a chicken hawk hanging around my yard for the past week or so too. I've got my daughter's b-b gun at the ready - not that that's going to do anything, but maybe it'll scare him (or her?) into moving on. I also thought about attaching something to my hose to give it a good shot of...

    Our babies made it

    Is your feed organic? There's a price difference between feeds in that case. And you can't compare an organic fed chicken to store-bought supermarket prices. Pasture-raised poultry in my area (NJ) goes for aruond $5.50 / lb. So although my chickens cost $11.00/ 5 lb bird, it would be almost...
