No, it will not create the meat bird you are familiar with, and NO , this is no breed-able meat bird anywhere near the Cornish x in terms of speed of growth, feed conversion, breast meat, taste, etc. Sorry for the simple answer.

I am interested in any updates. I am also seeing that maybe there is a spot in the industry that needs to be filled with trustworthy people who build a quality product to meet or surpass the customers expectations. hmmmm

Im am very sorry for the people dealing with this. I do know quite a bit about the operation as my brother is the designer of the coops. My brother, Garrett, is also the person who designed the coop to come in pieces and packaging like you guys still receive. I am very very sorry to all those...

He always kept a back log of orders so I am sure there are LOTS of $1500 payments lost now...

Hello all I thought I would chime in since I have close personal experience with the company. Started by DAN, he has a good idea and good design for a coop, which he was throwing in the back of a truck and delivering around Michigan. Then, in 2008 or so, he hired my brother. A civil engineer...

@Arielle thanks! Right now they are cooped up with food and water. yesterday we put them in and tomorrow I will open the door and let them roam. 14 birds will have 150sq ft of run. I know that the breed of chicken and the types of grass, season, growth rate, all play into account. I plan to...

The coop came together real well. still a few things to finish up (nest box, feed and water) but we did get her completed, moved on onto the lawn, and got the chickens inside. I was really happy how it did not flex, or have any issues when being pulled. I hooked straps on the front very short so...

The stores near me all have a 6 chick minimum. I believe 2 ducks min

Usually once they are a week old they will go half off... so If you are shopping for Cornish X or something I have a lot of, you may find good prices. I find that you pay the same price as you would from a hatchery minus the shipping cost, which is usually A LOT.

I plan to have a rubber flap to stop the rain from leaking in.

I worry about water getting in when it rains. the entire floor is vented and the whole roof peak is vented. there will be a door where the chickens go in and out... I thought about cutting a vent in the top of the outer wall but thats just letting the windy rain right in...

It has no calcium so you will need to supplement. you can mix with your layer feed to get a good consistency. The weekly pickups will work perfect because it only last about a week. anything your chickens do not use each week can get spread in the garden or around trees as stated. You have a...

you will probably like the pine better. I put it in the brooder a bit deep maybe 4" and the chicks pack it down fast to i would go stir it up with a stick each day so they would have fun and play in the "fluff" also when i cleaned out there brooder i just set the new bale of shaving in the...

I serve it wet. I mix it with feed to get a desired texture. it only keeps for about 2 weeks. it has an expiration date for sure. The guy i bought it from said to only buy a week or so worth at a time so that's what I did. I am new to it as well but like I said if you google it, you will find...

This just seems like a step BACKWARD from the heated bowl and nipples she said she had before the tub. Im interested why the switch to the simple tub?

@ hokum doesnt that get really scummy and dirty? do they perch on the side or get a lot of dust in it?

Once they get used to their surrounding they seem to find home ok. mine are only a few months old now and living in my barn. i let them out around the yard now that it is warming up but when i go out and start shoeing them back in, then all seem to run right for the door. keep the food and water...

it is quite common to feed pigs and chickens the whiskey mash. mine is barley and sometimes corn i believe. google it and you will see it used a lot for pigs. (because if you can feed a pig for free and butcher him for a $2000 profit, you are doing ok)

I feed my chickens whiskey mash for $4 per 5 gal bucket and that equates to less then half of the cost of chicken feed. I have had the mash tested and the only thing missing to make a complete diet is calcium. you could ad a salt block or mix chicken feed to get them the calcium. I mix with feed...
