A week ago I gave my Standard Dark Cornish male to my dad. I have 17 chicks of his cross with my Madisons and White Plymouth Rock of 1 and 2 weeks old plus another 10 hatching as I post this thread in addition anotherb3 weeks or so of his fertility in my girls. A friend of mine gave me this...
OK. So let's start this meat project with my Standard Dark Cornish with my girls White Plymouth Rock and Madison. Weighs varied as New Borns from 35 grams to a whopping 52 grams. Interesting to see that all DCxWPR are weighing more than the DCxMadusons being that the Madisons is a Dual Purpose...
I hope my wife doesn't go thru our credit card purchases cuz she might ask for a divorce. I ordered 35 chicks from Ideal Poultry and another 20 from Purely Poultry. I ordered White Leghorns, Ameraucanas, Barnevelders, and Kraienkoppes from Ideal, then I browsed Purely Poultry and found a deal I...
So this morning we headed for breakfast me and my family and then headed to church, before we left I went ahead and opened the coop for the birds to free range. While arriving to church I received a call from my neighbor telling me that he had been trying to contact me more than an hr ago (had...
So I went to my sisters house today and was surprised by seeing this half naked chick. I gave this chick one day old 3 weeks ago to my 6 yr old niece and appears that he never started feathering and lost most of his fuzz.

So I decided to make a homemade chicken feed for my meat birds, something less expensive and more nutrition f.or my birds. I was spending $40 every 1.5 weeks on high protein turkey starter and cracked corn giving me 100 lbs of feed. Turkey starter is good but cracked corn is not so good in...
While sitting down in the shade under a Mesquite tree watching my birds do some foraging this little 4 wk old DC/WPR cross approached and jumped to my lap....just adorable.
So I was using this male in a meat project with some Madisons and always presented him as a BO male. My dad told me that according to his neighbor, former owner, told him that it was a Buff Rock he got from an assorted order of Rocks he ordered from Ideal Poultry about a year ago and that he was...
Been hatching for quite some time and I've had decent hatches. Most of the ones that die on me on lockdown is mostly either they piped on the bottom of the egg or the eggs were rolled by the chicks that hatched. I read several posts of hatchers using the egg cartons during lockdown and had no...
