    Meat bird experiment.

    So I have decided that I want to raise some birds for meat throughout the year. In the past I have purchased meat bird chicks from McMurray Hatchery. I have never had a bad experience with McMurray, and ordering from them has served us well, but I want to be able to hatch my own chicks for...

    Lavender Orpington? Or is it?

    Last spring we purchased a group of chicks from a local hobby breeder. A little background on the breeder, he breeds pureblood rare and heritage breeds. We have been to his place many times and he has a very good set up and is very knowledgeable about the breeds he has. We purchased two...
