    How does age affect meat in different birds?

    So, I'm trying to compile some information for butchering a wide variety of poultry. There isn't much in the way of information online to be found. I realize that butchering a chicken that is over 6 months, or so, old makes it a tough meat. I am wondering how age affects geese, ducks, quail...

    Cochin sick?

    I have a less than one year old Cochin. She had started to... cough? It was like she was gagging and trying to cough/puke something out by force. She stretched her neck out as she shook her head and made a drawn out coughing sound (lasted about 1-2 seconds). Her eyes also were a bit puffy and...

    My silky hen is just under a year old. She is going bald. She also has been sitting in the same corner for the most part. Any ideas what is going on? I realize she may be bloody, sitting in the same corner. She acts normal otherwise.

    I am also curious as to how early people let their geese start sitting eggs? I want to hatch natural. My coop isn't heated and I'm concerned for the eggs' safety. I am located in Minnesota and temps dip to single digits right now, maybe lower. Do I hang a low watt light inside the "nesting...
