    Did anyone else get that email survey this morning about an hour ago?

    I also got my letter and coupon yesterday. Glad it was the real deal! Wish more of you could have "qualified".

    Sexing 7 week old Cornish crosses. Please help!

    I raise mine with a broody and also free ranging. They do remarkably well because they are active following mama hen/daddy roo around. My last batch I only had one hen with leg issues just shy of 8 wks. The rest were butchered at 9 and 10 wks. I couldn't imagine dealing with them laying...

    Sexing 7 week old Cornish crosses. Please help!

    In my experience with Cornish cross, at 7 weeks the roos will haver larger comb and wattles and also be quite red already. Hens smaller and more pink. Hard to say for sure without pics, but hope it helps. Also, I would make sure the new homes are aware it is a meat bird and may not make it to...

    Mean rooster...

    Chooks4life, thanks for clarifying! Sounds like you and I agree on both free ranging and aggressive roosters. :) I think he's doing the right thing by giving the roo a chance but not at the expense of the hen.... at my house the other option is inviting him to dinner! But that is just my...

    Mean rooster...

    Garthryan. I think this has gotten a little out of control and maybe I am "reading" into this but what I took from your question is...... you plan to release him for permanent free range on your own property not "take him off and dump him". I grew up on a ranch and never remember so much as a...

    Hello... need help w/RIR pullets

    The same "breeder" has a few of those other breeds, that's why the questions. I also have 2 speckled sussex and a gold laced wyandotte.... maybe I'll get lucky with one of them. Lol

    Hello... need help w/RIR pullets

    Thanks for the wonderful information! Sounds fair and honest to me. My basic goal is healthy dual purposes breeds for backyard enjoyment, eggs and meat... Possibly hatch a few if a hen goes broody. Nothing large scale. So it sounds like either hatchery or the same local breeder would be...

    Hello... need help w/RIR pullets

    So another question.... it seems there are several "spin offs" on the RIR and difficult to get an actual heritage red. Does this apply to other heritage breeds also (ie Sussex, wyandottes, orpingtons)? I realize hatchery birds will not be show quality but will I get the actual breed of bird?

    Hello... need help w/RIR pullets

    Thanks! Good to know not to use that "breeder" again. They are sweet girls so I'll overlook their downfalls. ;)

    Hello... need help w/RIR pullets

    Hi everyone... I purchase these 4 RIR pullets from a nice breeder who seemed reputable. They are approx 5-6 months old (not laying yet) and basically look identical but 2 have yellow legs and 2 have dark skinned legs. If I understand correctly, this is not possible in a pure RIR. So I'm...
