    Meat bird starter feed

    I recently picked up a large bulk order of meat bird starter feed. This is high protein feed at 23% protein and is great for starting chicks, or raising meat birds or large poultry like turkeys and ducks. You bring a container to haul it and I'll sell by weight, $.28 per pound (comes to $14...

    Problems with a hens beak

    I butcher/process poultry for local families, hens that stop laying, roosters that were supposed to be hens, meat birds and so on, but yesterday someone brought me a young rhode island red hen with a beak problem.

    Black Star Hens (10 weeks) San Diego

    sexually confused pekin

    I have an androgynous pekin. It has a darker bill like a male, but it doesn't have a curled tail feather and it quacks like a female. I've read several places that the bill color is one of the most reliable methods of determining sex so I'm confused. I have several pekins all raised together...
