If I was to breed my flemish giant male o something, what breed would be the best option (for meat). A newzealand? And how would the feed to weight ratio be? (Will I lose money?) he's 9 months old.
Thank you haha. Yea the peafowl I'm selling, I got them cheap at a swap so I figured, why not? Same with the quail. I mostly hatch to sell, but I enjoy the process :)
I set 2 peafowl, 13 bobwhite quail, 4 pure dorking, 2 red sex link/dorking, 6 pearl guinea, 5 khaki campbell duck, 9 Easter egger (can be crossed with cream legbar, australorp, or dorking-for the Easter eggers). I set these on Father's Day (the 21st.) all fertile so far. (Some are iffy) chickens...

DDED:// he also has a problem with his right leg where he can move it around, but cannot extend it? Like it's folded and the other one is fine? Did he possibly sprain it?
Newly hatched chick had a slightly mushy head (fluids have gone down in the neck though) which is probably a good sign that the fluid is leaving. But it has a stiffish neck? Like it dosent want to raise its head? Anything I can do? It also kind of looks like he's getting a bit better, albeit...
