    4-day-old Chicks w/ Runny Poo

    Flavor of Cornish Cross When Eating Fermented Feed

    I'm kind of jumping into this whole chicken raising thing after seeing a Tyson chicken truck on the road and being really disgusted with what I saw. I have been researching and reading this amazing forum for days and I'm picking up my first batch of Cornish Cross from Cackle Hatchery on 9/4...
