I have a small group of Cornish Cross birds that are due to get processed shortly. (Picture is old) They have been out of the brooder and outdoors for 3 weeks. I do 4 weeks in the brooder then 4 weeks outside.
I found one male dead 2 days ago. We assumed a heart attack due to no obvious...
I have some chicken youngsters that hatched out in April that all hang out together. One batch has 11 hatched April 1st. The second batch hatched 7 April 8th. So the oldest are currently 11 weeks old. This morning I found an egg in the corner of their run! These are buff orpingtons and...
