    Canning young chicken - mush?

    I have a question for anyone who has experience canning chicken. I have just culled twelve 12 week old cockerels - they are chilling now. Would it be a mistake to can them (would they be too tender) - would they end up mushy? Or do you think it would work out ok? I was planning to do raw pack...

    Storage of hatching eggs

    Howdy folks - I have a quick question. My rooster was attacked a few days ago defending the flock from some dogs. Looks like he will be ok, but I am suddenly in a position to hatch his girls' eggs earlier than expected, and am needing to save eggs. I am in a warm climate - while the temps...

    When to mix different aged chicks in brooder - timing and strategy?

    I have a solo pullet (Paula) who is 10 days old - she's been on her own since Sunday night, when her sister died. I've played with her every day, and got her a mirror for short term company (based on advice here - she's a big chirper!). I managed to get another order of three chicks which...

    Chick favoring one leg - what do you think?

    (I also posted this in the New Members area.) I am new Mom to a solo one week old cream legbar pullet (her two sisters didn't make it) named Paula with funny markings for a CL pullet (but that's another thread). Now, as of this morning, I am Mom to 3 additional CL chicks (companions for Paula...
