    City rooster kept inside-good or bad plan?

    A rooster in a garage can still wake you up even with the windows closed if he has any kind of decent crow. I know this from the experience of having my coop be a pen in my garage and raising straight run chicks. Any one that was a rooster made himself known when he started crowing and thus had...

    I moved to NH from TX, so the climate change takes a little internal clock resetting. Still freezing in April? OK, reset the clock back a month (or two). smile You may be shocked to discover tomatos are set out AFTER Memorial day for fear of frost. Changing climates can be so confusing for...

    Non-Broiler Breed for Meat?

    I've raised Plymouth White Rock roosters for eating. After about 14 weeks they are a good size and quite tasty. Of the dual purpose those seem the best to me.

    Ordered 15 Colored Range Broilers (aka Freedom Rangers)

    How Sick is This!

    Quote: Vegetarians generally give quite a bit of thought to the idea of eating meat and animal welfare. People who raise and butcher chickens to eat are forced to think about the same issues. In addition to wanting healthy meat for my family, one of the reasons I raise my own chickens for meat...

    Chest or Upright?

    Upright - easier for me. The different shelves and door bins make it easier to organize and find things. NOT frost free - because it keeps food better by not going into defrost cycle and is more energy efficient than the frost free. I defrost it once a year in spring by moving what little is...
