First of all I am not just cooking chicken medium rare and eating it, that would be dangerous, and stupid. So don't read my post title and try just that.
The process requires a special technique call sous vide, pronounced sue vee, from here I will just call it SV. Also before we go any further...
I started off on the 26th of may with 48 eggs, from an unknown source. I decided to run this hatch to bring in outside blood to the neighborhood flock. I candled the eggs 10 days in and I pulled 18 to the side they looked like duds, a week later I looked at them again and tossed all them but 1...
There are limited quantity's of these, of these fresh hatching eggs . These are Guinea eggs from a mixed color flock. The diversified bloodlines make for a healthy bird generally, so that is a plus. But the wildcard is the color. About 10 generations back there was a Vulturine Guinea rooster in...
I know that now days a lot of people are focusing on the bad effects of tobacco, still I claim insanity. The plants are beautiful, and even grow flowers if you don't top them. They have big leafs, and people always ask what is that. And you can smoke it too, LOL. You can legally grow all you...
I am about 50 miles north of Dallas TX, near Pilot Point TX, and I want to raise about 10 cornish X chickens for the freezer. The problem is There is a minimum purchase of 25. Is there anyone in the area that would want any of the 25. I would only be looking to recover cost, no profit. 10 birds...
I have 3 new fairly small 1 1/2 cubic foot prototype incubators I am running tests on right now. I am wanting to hatch some eggs in them pretty soon. One of them has digital humidity controls in it, I am looking forward to see how that works out long term. Anyway, I am in north Texas, north of...
I have been studying this in detail, and have even gotten into some patents on these CX birds. The largest problem is that even if you have the linage and the process it is so deep. Like for an example you breed a complex, muti linage base stock, and then have a completely different hen and...
I ran across several hundred pounds of rice in 50 pound bags intended for human consumption, that has been infested with small bugs. I can get it free. My question is can you feed white rice to chickens. It reminds me of corn as far as being a dried grain, and it is small. I just dont want to...
Brian from North Texas here, this is my first post. I am new to BYC, and I am wanting to get back into chickens. I am 54 now when I was a kid, me and my dad built custom incubators. He built the cabinets, and I did the electrical systems/controls. Mostly big frige size units, but quite a few...
