    Gmo's

    All you "all natural" or "organic" flakes out there are a bunch of quacks!!! I think monsanto should be given the Nobel prize for all their work with GMO's. It is absolutely amazing to me that given today's population food is as cheap and readily available as it is today. If we went back to...

    Turn em loose. The biggest problem I have with free ranging is them hiding their eggs. I keep mine locken in till early afternoon so they lay in their nesting boxes and then turn them out. It's amazing how far they go and what they all get into, but every night at dark they are all back on...

    Putting Chicks In Coop At Night

    Few meat chickens dying

    What are you using for bedding? Cornish rocks will eat small particle sized shavings or sawdust and compact their gizzard and die quickly. I always try to find the coursest savings I can find for my new chicks
