    New meatie babies came in & freebies!!

    Big Bird was by far the favorite in our flock and it was hard, myself and my youngest could not be outside when my husband did the deed. But, I explained to my boys that she was a meat bird and that was what she was put on this earth for. If we would not have raised her she would have been put...

    Questions--never had meat birds before

    We had 2 cornish x mixed with our layers and they were my favorites out of all of them. We only fed them at night and they were free range the rest of the day. Every time I came outside they would immediately run to me & follow me everywhere. Hindsight I know it was just because I signified...

    After our accidental raising of two Cornish X (TSC mystery chicks) we ordered 8 more to raise strictly for our freezer. I know a lot of people complain about the roosters that they send but when I opened up my box and saw 7 freebie, mystery roosters I jumped for joy!! I just keep picturing all...

    We live in a residential neighborhood and my 14 girls free range approx 8hrs a day on an almost 1/4 acre lot. So far we have only a few patches that they have torn all of the grass up and were wondering how to maintain the yard for them to provide adequate greens for them. We are not overly...

    Why do most people marry?

    I married because I could not imagine life without him. He is my best friend, my rock, the person I share everything with, my comfort blanket, my biggest supporter, and the reason I am a better person today. We married young, 19 & 21, and will be married 11 years this June & I love him more now...

    White Rock or Cornish X? Or something else?

    Have been told White Rock & Cornish X. They are substantially bigger than the rest of our flock and are the same age. They are content to eat constantly while our flock finds places to roost which leads me to think Cornish X. But, they have no legs problems and are extremely active. We have fed...

    We received a week old chick from a friend and had her in the brooder on her own. (ours were old enough to be in the coop) She did not do well on her own, she chirped nonstop and then became lethargic. After putting her with our flock she immediately began to thrive and is a quiet girl. Talk...

    I have 13 five weeks olds and a 2 week old that are all out in the coop w/o a heat lamp. They all pile on top of one another and keep each other warm, we have not lost a single one. The older ones have been out there for a little over a week and the baby was put in last weekend. Like the...

    My white rocks rubbed off all of their soft down on their breastbone/stomach around week 2 but have feathered out nicely. Well, that is if you ignore the butt pecking incident.
