    Very large watery crop

    This 4 month old hen has a very large crop which seems to be full of water or mucous. It’s been this way since birth we believe. What could this be and possible treatments?

    Air Chilling

    How would one go about air chilling 50 CC? I’m thinking wrap them up individually in a bag and then toss them in my cooler with layers of ice. I’ll keep layering and topping off with ice as needed. My only problem is finding bags big enough for this stage of the air chill “soak”. In the end I’ll...

    Calling on Plucker and Scalder Owners

    What brand of plucker and scalder do you own? We borrow some Featherman equipment that works excellent but is a bit out of our price range at the moment. I’d like to hear what other brands people are using. We do 100+ birds a year so we need to be efficient and have reliable equipment.

    Organic Layer or 24%?

    After starting off my new chicks with GMO Free food, I am debating if I want to switch to Organic. I love the fact that both are GMO free but the organic doesn't have the pesticides. Anyways, the brand I want to buy only has 22% protein and when I do my FF it will be over 24% probably. Is it bad...

    Turkey Feed for Rocks

    Hi Everyone! I just ordered my first batch of 25 Cornish Rocks meaties and bought what I thought was a good starter for them. This is what my local feed store recommended and was un-medicated. How's this mix for starter? This is as close as they had to organic and non-medicated. It is 23%...
