SteffPeck, its www.JMHatchery.com AnthonyT, are you in Franklin? that is where some of my dim witted friends used to drag me to get lottery tickets back before Tennessee ok'd the lottery here. Personally, I only gamble on chickens, and such like, lol !

AnthonyT, I think you will love them. They are the friendliest chickens I have ever had, and I've been dealing with chickens for 50 years. When I go out of the house the little fat rascals come running and flying to me. Yes, they really can fly, actually its just running and flapping, but it...

I don't know about quail, but I tried this method with some roosters a couple of years ago. It didn't work well at all for me. I put the big plump rascals into a bright orange cone, that I had bought at Home Depot just for that purpose. I held the cone with the rooster head sticking out the...

I received a box of 15, day old Freedom Ranger type broilers from Joel at JMHatchery on Saturday, June 14. 1 Black, 1 Grey, 2 Brownish, and the rest are varying hues of yellow. I hatched out 21 RIR/Black Australorps the day before in my incubator. I put them all out in a hoopcoop on grass...

Blue90292, I use an old 5 gallon plastic bucket that I bought full of paint at Home Depot. I keep the lid on it, or it would stink and the dogs would mess with it. I drilled 3 or 4 pencil sized holes in the top for the flys to go in. I drilled several holes in the sides of the bucket about...

Barbara, if you are still reading this thread, please tell us more about the breeding history of these birds. I am also curious what types of feeds are fed to the meat birds grown for the European markets. thanks, Janet

Chickens are very fond of worms and bugs of almost any kind. They love to catch and eat any kind of flys or fly eggs or larva. Besides their regular food, I provide my chickens with flys and maggots 24 hours a day. I live in the country and have to haul my garbage to the dump. There are...

Hey Joel, I'm glad you joined this forum, but I have to warn you; It's addictive !! I have been around chickens almost all my life (one of my jobs as a kid was cleaning out my mothers chicken house) and I really enjoy reading the stories folks post on here about their chicken adventures! As...

No problems here. All is forgotten, let's talk chickens! Janet

Hello to All, It seems that there is so much misinformation about these birds, their history, and future, that I sent a note to Joel @ JMHatchery, and Barb @ Freedom Rangers inviting them to join us on this forum and clear up some of the misinformation, and share their chicken wisdom with us...

Hello to All, The Freedom Rangers breeding stock were housed at Heying Firms Inc. of West Union Iowa. After the business break up, they were sold to JM Hatchery in New Holland Pennsylvania. JM sells them under the name of Red Bro (Broilers) and told me yesterday that the next batch will be...

Greyfields, I posted it because I talked to the hatchery today, and the owner told me that he had none at this time, and would only have a few in the very near future, however... he will have many to sell in a few weeks. I want the few he will have to sell soonest. He asked me to please put...

Hello Everyone, I think that I first heard about the Freedom Rangers on this forum. I wanted some from the first post I read about them, only to find that the company producing them went out of business back in April. I talked to the company owner, Barbara, and I have tracked down the...
