The chick is 4 weeks old today. It was mixed into my CX order. I didn't ask for it so now I have to find it a home in the next 2 weeks because the CX have another engagement and I need the coop empty for the next batch. I would like to be able to tell folks what this bird is so I can give it...
I just processed my 51 CX cockerels last Friday. They were 61 days old. I fed them 20% Starter/grower throughout. The first 4 weeks, they had feed 24/7, the rest of the time it was 12 on/12 off. They consumed 1150 pounds of feed, exactly half of which, they ate in the last 16 days. They...
I do produce professional videos for a living now but this short amateurish movie was one we did a few years ago just for the fun of it back when my camera was just a toy for a hobby.
Enjoy the ridiculous antics of our favorite West Virginia Hillbillies. I promise you; it's 10 minutes and...
My 53 birds are 6 weeks old today. Processing day is scheduled for a week from Friday (6/21/13). I just came back from weighing a few of them. The small one was 9 pounds and the big one was 9.8 pounds. I'm pretty happy with the progress. Now if I just just keep them from dropping dead...
I have built, and used for 4 weeks, a Hover or Ohio style brooder. I have decided to sell it and would like some advice on what it is worth when I place an ad in the local paper. I will be building another very similar but slightly larger version for my next batch.
The specs:
34" X 48" X 16"...
He is the "exoctic" that came with my Cornish X's this year. Can anyone help?
At one day old (the dark chick)
At 2 weeks old
At 3 weeks old (the dark one, of course) The Cornish X are the same age too.
I'd like to build a homemade electric scalder. I want one like the Dux Industries 14 gallon fiberglass tub. My plan is to build it from a utility sink, a thermostat, and (2) water heater elements. It has to be 110V. I don't have 220 at the chicken coop. I like this one that I found on ebay...
Greetings All. I'm a long time reader of these forums but this is my first post. I have spent the last 6 hours searching these forums and reading all the available threads on feeding my Cornish X's. All that has done is give me a 50/50 split on which feeding and light schedule I should use...
