We are trying Dark Cornish this summer for the first time. Our chicks arrived on April 13th and we plan to butcher this Saturday. They have been fed Flock Raiser and free range all day. I have high hopes for the meat on these birds...they look great!

Thanks, but I did contact them....MANY times.... Initially, they said they were going to make it right, but since then I can't get anyone to respond to my e-mails or phone message. I hope you have better luck getting them to respond to you!

I did not have a good experience with Cackle....but, I appear to be in the minority so take it for what you will.

Yesterday, my husband was out behind our property in the woods and found bits and pieces of one of our toms. Although I saw a coyote out back the other day, we are not positive it was the coyote that did this.....Here's the facts: Nacho was a year old tom - average size, the predator had to...

I was able to trap coons with a Have-a-Heart by wiring down an opened tin of sardines to the bottom of the trap. Works like a charm!

I had the same experience with Cackle. My 15 chicks arrived late and were really, really stressed. I lost 5. I have NEVER had that high of a mortality rate. This was in April and Cackle still has done nothing to make this right.

I would LOVE to know how you received excellent customer service from Cackle? I ordered 15 Welsummer chicks this past April. They arrived late and appeared VERY stressed from the trip. I contacted Cackle right away via e-mail because their phone line is almost always busy. They told me to...

I have been using a Hovabator as my incubator and a homemade bator for my hatcher. I have had several chicks like your largest dead one. I have hatched six successfully. I am not of much help on why this happens since I have no idea, but I wanted you to know that you are not alone!

I am a newbie at attempting to hatch out my turkeys eggs. I have finally figured out the candling, but I am completly frustrated with hatching. Two turkey eggs went over their hatch dates by more than 24 hours, so I opened up the air cell end and they were still alive. One died and now it...

Thanks for the response.....now I gotta be patient!

What are you all using to candle? I used a mini mag and a large mag with a toilet paper roll, but I see very little..... Thanks!

I am a newbie and I have been doing fine with candling until now... I just cracked open (the large end) about 7 eggs from my incubator that were duds. The final one that I cracked has a chick in it that is squirming all around....ARGH! Now, I didn't puncture the membrane at all...I just...

One of our turkey eggs pipped this morning, but since then nothing more than an occasional movement at the pip site......How long is this supposed to take???

Me! I have four turkey eggs in the hatcher and one has already pipped!!! This is my first time so I am SUPER excited!!!

Hi! I need to move some turkey eggs out of the incubator and into the hatcher today. What I need to know is should I plug in the fan or not.... Thanks!!!!

Based on all the information you guys have given me, I am SO glad I didn't order the Frying Pan Special!!! THANKS!!!!!!!

THANKS for replying! Since I didn't hear back from anyone right away, I made an executive decision and ordered dark cornish.....I hope it was the right decision!!!! Yikes! I hate having to learn the hard way...... Thanks again!
