    BREEDING FOR PRODUCTION...EGGS AND OR MEAT.

    We've had very good luck roasting aged birds that way. Even 2 to 4 year old fowl turn out fine and the older birds exude the old time flavor that can't be faked in the 7 to 10 week old birds from chain markets. I've tried them and they remind me of Tofu C hicken....Blaaaaah!!! Turk tells me...

    I'm not convinced. I think there might have been a wood pile around there some place!

    ISA Brown

    Michael, I suggest you do a little research on the ISA-Brown hybrid poultry. There is a lot more to them than what you seem to think. Have a good one!

    BREEDING FOR PRODUCTION...EGGS AND OR MEAT.

    We turned on the water misters today at 85*F but that was totally uncalled for. By 6 PM, the temps dropped and the worst thunderstorms came down for about 2 hours...worse than I've seen for a while. Fortunately the generator kicked in to keep all the freezers etc running. Power doesn't go off...

    Naked Neck/Turken Thread

    My brother in Kentucky crossed some NN hens with an Austea-white cock and has birds he calls Overo and Tobiano. I haven't seen them but he promises to send pictures when he goes back home. J.

    BREEDING FOR PRODUCTION...EGGS AND OR MEAT.

    I worked for many wears in areas of the world where it got hotter than the hinges of hell, frequently carrying packs that weighed more than I'll say because the average civilian would think it a lie. That was work and I did it but I don't think I could live like that ever again. I don't...

    Anyone in WV???

    We worked the over-breeding thing out decades ago. We keep cocks/cockerels in individual pens and put hens with them when we want them bred. That way, none of the hens get scalped and we know which bird is bread to what. Even with that, we cut any cock's spurs down to about 1 quarter inch...

    From my experience, chickens, regardless of breed or makeup that are allowed to free range are far less likely to have leg problems than those that simply lay around with their faces in a trough. J.

    Russian Orloffs

    This is a handsome fella. If I can find a good trio of birds, I feel certain I could produce and set solid white birds within 5 years. I'm in the market for such a trio and will proceed to do so with dispatch. I don't have the training or experience in chicken genetics required for the...

    I'll say it again...that's a fine looking chick.

    I take profound exception to the USDA description of 'Capon'. Eating a 4 month old capon is tantamount to eating a week old chick. The process is performed to allow the bird to mature for a considerable length of time, up to and even past 18 months of age. Castration of these birds serves the...

    A 4 hour drive could be a bit extreme for some but I enjoy driving...and getting away from the farm. We got birds from the same place you are talking about (I think) but realized that a 22 hour airline flight for them was better for the birds than a much longer ride by personal vehicle. I...
