    for those brooding 100+ cornishx

    How many to you brood in one area? I have lost a bunch of chicks, and the only thing I can think of is they are piling up on each other and smothering the ones on the bottom? I had two heat lamps should I have put more heat in there to spread them out? Or should I divide the brooding area into...

    what are your thoughts? I have not tried the cups, but have not had the best luck with nipples (for watering).

    for those that butcher for sale.

    breeding your own

    Is anybody out there breeding your own "meat" chickens. Was wondering if there are any breeds that can be easily bred to produce something along the lines of a Red Ranger type forging meat chicken. I like the idea of being able to breed my own instead of having to rely on chicks from a hatchery...

    I have a question?

    I'm new here and new to Chickens, well sort of. We had a small flock of RIR's 15 years ago, and loved it. Of course there wasn't all the information out there like there is today at your finger tips. Anyhow my question is, why are hatching eggs higher in price than baby chicks? I've been looking...
