    meaties are **3 weeks** today!

    Mine are nearly 4 weeks, and they are doing nicely. I'm guessing that they avg 1.75 lbs. They are an even mix, on grass with a heat lamp, it has hit 20 degrees at night and they are doing good. I've lost 2 in 4 weeks, both were runts that got pushed out of the way. They are active, I hope to let...

    30 red broilers are here!

    Let me chime in on these broiles. I've got 7 here, I used them as packing peanuts. They are 6 weeks old, and are approx. 50% larger than the white rocks and standard cornish they arrived with. They are good foragers, and I have had them ranging for 2 weeks not. Lost one to a dog, but overall...

    Will this feed work okay for a broiler finisher?

    I'm currently using the 20% Flock Raiser. and my chicks are growing great on it, and I can tell a big difference in the cleaness of the coop.

    Too late to do broilers outside this year?

    I ordered some red broilers from Ideal, and they are now a week and a half old. They are very active, and are jsut as alert as my white rock and DC chicks that I ordered with them. They are in a heated brooder coop now, and I plan on putting them on pasture at 4 weeks, they seem to be feathering...

    Colored Broiler breeding?

    I would disagree that a backyard flock breeder couldn't develop a better meat bird. Some of our greatest innovations came from single people who devoted a great deal of time to their projects. Stay focused on what you strive for, and cull heavy and that will lead to success. Research and...

    Hybrid Vigor

    I figured this place was the right place to post this question. When crossing various breeds of chickens, what type of increase in weight gain, egg laying ability, faster featheriing etc., can be seen as a result of hybrid vigor? Say if you have two distinct F1 crosses, and those two are crossed...

    Roosters

    I have two welsummer roos (2months) and a RIR roo (4 months). If I keep them with my 3 RIR and 3 welsummer hens, and they have ample room and also get to roam during the evening, am I going to be ok or should I go ahead and seperate them?

    Welsummers and Lowell Barber **Updated Pics of Chicks**

    I wouldn't agree with that. People that have maintained the ORIGINAL bloodlines by selectivly breeding Welsummers have maintained the birds that were brought in, and they maintain the same criteria that Barber and others like him held them too. I've got these 5 chicks, and I've got 3 NHR pullets...

    Sussex Question
