    Just went through this myself with TSC. was supposed to be getting white leghorn pullets but got Cornish cross of which half were roosters also. I found someone to take them since my kids would not allow me to butcher them. I have now started over with a mixed breed flock. In the responses I...

    moving chicks to the coop in a hot climate?

    Another question I have is regarding electrolytes. Is there a limit to how frequently they should have electrolytes added to their water? Can it be given daily or should it be limited?

    moving chicks to the coop in a hot climate?

    The reason for the late start is that we initially bought what we were told were white leghorns from TSC and raised them however they turned out to be Cornish cross and ended up finding someone to take them as my kids were not fond of the idea of eating their pets they raised. We have now...

    moving chicks to the coop in a hot climate?

    Thanks for the reply! That makes sense. I think once old enough I'll slowly start taking them outside for periods of time to see how they handle it and get acclimated. Any other warm weather chicken helpful hints are appreciated. Thanks!

    moving chicks to the coop in a hot climate?

    So I have read many threads that deal with the issue of the weather still being too cold for moving chicks out to the coop but have found very little regarding the same situation but in a hot climate. My issue is I have chicks that will be about 6 weeks towards the beginning of July and I live...

    Are these really white leghorns?

    I'll see what I can work out. But in the mean time this brings a question to mind. I have been feeding them a medicated starte/grower so far. Would this cause problems with processing and safety to eat. The bag is just about gone and actually will probably be finished today. Would they need to...

    Are these really white leghorns?

    It sounds like keeping them may not be the best option. Being that I live in Arizona and are already nearing 100 degree days a heat intolerant bird is not good. That's one of the reasons I specifically looked for and bought what I thought were white leghorns because they were recommended for...

    Are these really white leghorns?

    Well I guess that's a lesson learned regarding buying chickens from a feed store that doesn't know what they are selling! There is no way my family would allow me to process and eat them so i guess it's time to see if I can find someone to work out a trade. Either that or get them to Someone who...

    Are these really white leghorns?

    I sure hope that's not right but looking up pictures of the Cornish cross they look very similar in build. They have also grown extremely fast in the last few weeks. It really disappoints me to know the time effort and money our family has put into care and building a coop,run,watering and...

    Are these really white leghorns?

    I purchased 6 pullets at a feed store that were listed as white leghorns. They are approx. 8 weeks old. Most pictures I have seen of white leghorns appear to be tall and slender however my seem to be built more like tanks. I will try to get some better pictures tomorrow night when I let them out...
