    guess we get to start over

    It has been a day of mixed emotions. Talking back and forth with my wife all day, I think we are going to get a wireless dog fence and let the dogs (we also have a great dane) run the land. We can put a barrier wire around the coop/run that should keep the dogs away from the chickens. If that...

    DE Question.

    I was talking with my wife. She said that one of our friends was using DE to worm her chickens. She also said that she was throwing her eggs away for 10 days after treating the chickens internally with the DE. Is this necessary?

Came back an hour or so later and she was still in there. I just went and checked again and she is still in there. Went to reach and pick up another...

    So what do they have?

    So, we took the last 3 of our extra roosters off the feed bill today. When I was cleaning them, I noticed that they had small, light tan-clearish, bugs on them. Anyone have any ideas on what my chickens might have and how to get rid of them?

    WHere to buy?

    Hey everyone, I have been talking with a couple other families here in town that have chickens. Wea are talking about getting together and geting a large (to us) order of cornish x's. Probably 100 birds or so. I have been looking at prices. I have checked mcmurray, ideal and whelphatchery...

    Anyone breed their own cornish x's?

    Well it's good to see I am not the only crazy one out here. Hahaha! My wife and I are talking about it and are probably going to get started sometime this year.

    Anyone breed their own cornish x's?

    Yeah I really don't care what the coloring is. I just want some "home grown" good sized meaties.

    So, I have some questions

    Yeah I haven't ever paid attention when we go to the feed store. Because if I do, I will be in there for hours... That usually gets me in trouble with the wife. So, I haven't decided on what to do for water to start out with. But, we are going to have a pond for them to swim in and use...

    So, I have some questions

    Oh, Amiga, I think water management will be fairly easy for me. I already have an aquaponics setup. I don't have anything in it as of now because I am going to build a pond, which the ducks will use.

    Anyone breed their own cornish x's?

    Well I know there is no way that I can duplicate the quality that decades of breeding and research has done. But, do you think it is possible to breed two decent birds (a cornish and a rock) and end up with a good bird for the table fairly quickly (6-10 weeks)? It isn't that it is to expensive...
