    So......does anyone in SE pa know much about capons? My spring hatches of black sexlinks were mostly boys. Just got a kit and removed some testes yesterday. Seemed pretty easy. I'm just curious if I should feed them like my meat birds or do they need more/less protein.

    I did Cornish cross last year but not moyers, I'm gonna do more cx this year. Have you butchered any cx from moyers? Did any die or did they all make it to weight?

    I just gave my birds out of date Greek yogurt. Mixed it with layer pellets and corn. I will take a picture next time. They all had yogurt all over their faces. I'm guessing yogurt will not hurt them?

    I have red broilers goin now, did cx last year. We didn't have any leg issues or sudden deaths. I think limiting feed and ranginging them is where we found success. We left one live. Started laying everyday like a normal bird. We finally killed her(12 pounds) because my roo was ripping her...

    I just got some chicken nipples at tractor supy, figure I'll put them in the bottom of a bucket. Has anyone used this method of watering? Do your birds figure it out quickly?

    Anybody have experience with moyers red broilers? I just picked a bunch up instead of cx in the mail. I went with Moyer cause I'd rather buy local. Figured I'd try the Reds for a change but I really enjoy eating the cx I raised last year.

    Stake, I hatched a few EE mixes but was trying to Sexlink mu JG roo w my barred girls. Seems to have work so I just put a larger batch of eggs. I hatched a lot of black EE chicks I think they will be hard to tell who's a boy for a while.

    Jersey Giant Sexlink?

    next batch is up, added a fan,temp seems more stable. More eggs this time. Have an older bater with no turner for a lock down humid hatchery. This way I can start a new batch every 18 days. Is this a common practice? My girlfriend and I have only been chicken crazy for one year.
