That's how our Cornish X's are!! Almost makes it hard to want to butcher them suckers.....

Sorry for your lose, but this something I totally would do... I love rotisserie chicken!! But timing it like that would end me up in hot water... Lol

We've gone fairly cheap, free rooster, repurposed materials... Still we've probably got $130 invested so far... Makes that egg kinda pricey!! Lol

Now I just need the 3.5 week old chicks to hurry up and grow... Lol Or the misses won't be too happy with me... Lol

First egg from the new SLW off of craigslist!

Looking like a fawn is coming...

five Cornish X's, five barred rocks (plus a free rooster), and five silver laced wyandottes!

Greetings from Chattaroy! Not entirely new to chickens... but rusty and getting back into them again. Hope ya'll are having a great day!!

I'm sure it's probably been asked and answered elsewhere.... I have a one year old barred rock rooster, and some new chicks, they are three weeks old and still in the brooder. The Question: how old do ya'll recommend your chicks be, before introducing them to a mature rooster? I am getting...

Not sure about domestic ducks and geese, but wild ones?? If it tastes like liver you've screwed it up!! Wild ducks and geese need a bit of care... If they aren't gut shot, I hang them, about three days in the shade one if it's warmer out, longer if it's below 35. Then the rule is: low and...

All animals go through this process. If you have a dry cool place to hang them once they've been butchered, hang them! Just like a side of beef or a hog or even deer. I duck hunt, I sometimes leave a duck hanging from anywhere between 2-7 days!! It'll help the flavor as well. In the Far East...

There should have been three pics. And yes eventually the OSB will have to be replaced, but it was what was on hand. The plan is to save up and build another run next to it with better materials. All of this stuff was reclaimed except for most of the chicken wire in the run which is about 5x20...

So we bought a farm... Well really it was a house, shop, and lean-too like structure with a hog panel run that we're not sure what it was used for. But we're putting it into chickens, with some modifications... Everything but some of the chicken wire is reclaimed from around the place. Any...

Thanks. I don't have a thermometer in there, just kind of been going off of where they lay and play, close to the light, or far from it. Been taking the brooder outside in the afternoons without the heat lamp for a few hours on the warmer (mid 60's) dry days. But not sure when I can leave it off...

So it's been years since I've raised chicks. Even coffee can't jar my memory, so I'm asking the other pros: How old and how warm of outside temps before I can leave the heat lamp off during the day? Thanks in advance!

Thanks!

Where do you find plucker fingers? Kinda new. I've done meat birds in the past, but always hand plucked. I've wanted to build a plucker. First post, be gentle. Lol
