    Why does my chicken taste like fish? Especially the older chickens

    I don't think I'm going to like the answer to this. I've been feeding non gmo feed with fish meal. I did not notice this flavor in the young birds (6 week Cornish cross) but the old ones (16 week cornish cross- huge, I know) tasted pretty disgusting, very fishy. I feel really bad because I gave...

    For those of you who have made your own plucker- what rpm?

    I've been gathering things for a whizbang style plucker and am trying to kind of make do with what is available without buying anything brand new. I have a 1hp 1725 rpm motor, a 2 inch drive pulley and an 11 inch driven pulley. If my math is right, that should gear it down to 313 rpm. Is that...

    For those of you working on your own meat crosses- What are you feeding?

    I've read that too much protein can cause pullets to start laying too young and possibly damage themselves, but if the goal is to breed for a fast growing bird I would think you have to use a high protein feed. Those of you actively breeding and working towards a goal, how do feed? Do you treat...

    How early can you tell which chicks will grow up to be the largest adults?

    I'm curious because I'm rather limited for space, so if I could weed out the birds I don't need at an early age that would be nice. Has anybody noticed if there is a trend with the larger chicks actually ending up being the larger birds as adults?

    I want to put up a chain link fence, but don't want to use concrete for poles. Any ideas?

    Being that I currently rent I do not want to put up any permanent structures, but I definitely need to expand my run with spring coming. I have rolls of chain link and poles that were hack sawed from the concrete. Being that that is the case the poles are a bit shorter than I'd like. Any ideas...

    Anyone here working on fibro meat birds?

    I'm not sure how much of a market there would be for them, but that's my current project. I have a Svart Hona roo and am ideally looking for cornish that carry fibro to get started. Anyone else here working on fibro meat birds? If so, have you noticed a difference in flavor? Some people say...

    Apparently I need to have 20 posts before I can use the BST, so let's do this.

    Hi. I haven't been on here in years, was previously DAnver_Queen or some variation of that, lost my login info though. College forced me out of chickens for a while, thus my hiatus. Currently I have 1 lonely Svart Hona cockerel. Would love to get back into Belgians some day as they are my...
