Yeah, I'm figuring that out. ;) The wire is a great idea! I'll have to try it. I also have a big barn fan from a friend I'm going to set up so they get a breeze.

Thanks guys. That's what I thought. If I do another batch in the heat of summer like this I'll do a smaller batch and process sooner and provide more shade, etc. ;) I'm learning a lot!

This morning I went out to my chicken shelter and found twelve dead birds inside. Here are the clues... any ideas about what the cause was? What should I do so it doesn't happen again? I had 74 cornish cross that were 8 weeks old. There was a heat index of about 95 degrees F yesterday. They...

Hey! I'll be processing my first batch of broilers next Saturday and Sunday, and I'm getting all my equipment around. I have a scalder, plucker, cooler, and several large tubs for cold/ice water. But I don't have killing cones or a stainless steel table for cutting the birds up. I've seen videos...

So I started my Cornish Cross chicks right off on FF, and they loved it. They're over 2 weeks old and I've only lost one out of 79! However, I still can't figure out how to strain the liquid off the feed in an efficient manner. My feed has chunks of grain in it, but there's also a lot of coarse...
