Thanks for the cedar idea. I will try that out. Somebody asked for pictures. Don't worry, my wife is a photographer and I will be posting lots of pictures. She won't let me post them until she finishes editing them.

Ok, thanks. I will build them something to roost on. I got to watch them a lot yesterday and I do notice them trying to jump on things.

My Buckeyes are about 3 months old now and doing great. I'm going to build a bigger coop for them in the next couple weeks and I'm wondering about their tendency to roost. Mine don't seem to like to roost on anything. During the middle of the day, they are always cuddled up on the ground in a...

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking about doing gallon jugs of chicken broth for soup but the bags are a good idea for rice. Looks like my chocolate lab is gonna be eating well soon. I think I will put the feathers in my compost pile but i will probably bury the heads and guts.

Hello. I've been lurking for a while. I have 19 cx birds in a Salatin style tractor. I had 20 but a little runt got crushed in the brooder. They are about 5-6 weeks old right now and I plan to butcher the larger birds in 10 days and the smaller birds in about 3 weeks. We plan to cut most of them...
