Does anyone have or know where I can see a picture of a Red Dorking Rooster? I hatched 4 eggs 20 weeks ago and one looks different than the others. Not sure if it is a rooster or totally different breed.
I have RIR day olds that hatched yesterday, ready to ship out today. $1.50 each plus $30.00 shipping and handling. Would like to ship a minimum of 10 for each order.
Can any one tell me what breeds I need to produce Cornish Rock Crosses for meat production? Is it simply a White Rock and White Cornish? and which breed should be the roo and which for the hen?
Well, the first hatching I did I got a hatch rate of 77% and thought that was good. This time, only my second time, i got 41 out of 45 on day 21. That's a 91%. I'll see if any more hatch in the next day or two. Wow I am just so excited!
:(Has anyone had a rooster that has spurred a hen so bad it broke the skin? I found one of my hens yesterday that had severe wounds on both sides that looked like where the roosters spurs were during mating. The skin on the right side was ripped down really bad. She couldn't even move on her...
At day 19 had 2 hatch. At day 20 had 3 more. This morning, Day 21 had 14 more! That is 19 out of 45 and technically I don't hit day 21 till late this evening. I can't wait to get home and see how many more have hatched!!!!! I'll have to upload pics later.
