I have about 25 meat chickens and 7 ducks to process. Does anyone in the Houston Area have a whizbang or plucker I could rent?
Im located in league city so close to here would be nice. Was hoping to do it the next couple of days.
just a follow up. after playing mix and match with the chickens for a while we finally got the 2 added. There is a little pecking occasionally but things are looking good. everyone is mostly getting along, roosting and laying eggs.
I have 6 RIRs. They are 26weeks old. 2 of them have started laying in the last 2 weeks. They have fresh water from an automatic waterer. They are getting a layer feed.
One of the hens is very skinny compared to the rest. her comb is very light even compared to the hens that are not laying yet...
After spending the day running in the yard, after dark i put them all in the same coop. everyone look fine but i let them out of the coop about 530 this morning. There was a little blood from where they pecked at the comb of one of the hens. they were put in after dark and let out before...
I know there are a lot of threads about adding to your flock but I am having trouble finding out what to do after you have done the quarantine, putting in a pen and all that.
I have 6 RIRs. No roosters. The hens are just now starting to lay about 20weeks old. About a month ago I go impatient...
