    Strange Wound - (See Closed Thread) "My neighbor shot at me"

    I'd pay the money for the x-ray. A pellet in the bird isn't going to cause lead poisoning. Lead has become a hysterical buzz word. A lead pellet (or several), picked up and ingested by your birds will do more harm than a single, solid lead pellet under the skin.

    cornishx with splayed legs

    I have a batch of 3 week old meaties. One chick has developed splayed legs that stick out to the sides so that he is unable to stand. He is being walked on by the other birds but they are not picking at him at this point. I've seen him eating and he must be drinking, but it's obviously a...

    The Death of Mr. Fox (not quite!)

    Muzzle control is a major cornerstone to a lifetime of gun safety. Most accidental shootings are self inflicted. #2 most common accidental shooters are a friend or family member. Ingrain muzzle control from an early age. Correct it whenever it is observed. Muzzle AWARENESS needs to...

    The Death of Mr. Fox (not quite!)

    Thought the video was hysterical. I would put a scope on the .22 and take over trigger duties. However on a more serious note, I would point out at 51 seconds there was a major gun safety issue where the rifle is pointed directly at the cameraman. Muzzle control. Not trying to be a jerk, but...

Then cut the muscle across at the wing joint. Once those cuts are made the breast meat can either be pulled loose...

    My outdoor abittoir

    Earliest time to butcher?

    I have my first batch of a couple dozen CornishX landing here in a few weeks. Truthfully, the wife and I are not big eaters. More interested in feed to weight conversion. It looks to me like they grow fastest in the first 4 weeks. What is the earliest time frame that you have butchered? I'm...

    My outdoor abittoir

    What are the dimensions of your brooder and your grow out pen. I have my first batch of 25 cornishX coming in a few weeks and I was just getting things put together today. Looks like you got it dialed in and I love the sink (there water ran out to that?)

    This batch of dual purpose tastes horrid! Help?

    Since they all spent the night in the same bath, I wonder if they were contaminated there. I've heard that ice makers can have some bacterial growth. Did you buy the ice that went into the cooler or did you freeze your own?
