    is this a meat bird?

    Thanks for your ideas. I looked at the pics, Brahmas, light and not, also looked up the Columbian large fowl cochin. They all have similarities. The Brahmas have a necklace all the way around the neck, mine don't, also my babies were yellow (for several weeks) with no other markings. I think...

    moving chickens

    Thanks Y'all, That is what we will do, or I guess I should say, already did since it is now the mid of the night. Funny, I knew what to do when I brought all these gals here to their new home a little over a month ago, but when I moved them across the yard, I couldn't figure it out. Thanks...

    help! My birds are dying

    Thanks for your input. We're sending them to the freezer on Saturday. I think it is more than just their present size because backsides splitting has been happening since about 2 weeks old. We aren't sure we want to do this again because we don't know what this bottom splitting thing is...
