    Quote: No Chad they aren't born big per say, they will lay on bone mass first then muscle, then another bone spurt then the final touch of mass and shape. True good breeder or show stock may take in upwards of 18 mo before they really look good. I try not to even think about culling the good...

    High Quality Disinfectant for Coop Cleaning?

    If you want the Best and kill everything you listed then I would recommend 1-Stroke Environ or Tektrol. The list of what it kills is a novel and leaves things smelling like a hospital. The are labeled for poultry operations. I use it to disinfect the barn before calving and it works great!!

    Sorry guys, I need to be more specific. These are from my darks. I had one hen laying real consistent and then they all decided to start, which I was doing cartwheels. Then I actually saw the roosters doing what they are suppose to do, so I checked them and could not wait any longer! If I...

    Where should I buy my Red Sexlinks

    I have had both Townline and Murray. I absolutely love the Isa Browns, Murrays are just fine also, but If I had to choose, Isa's all the way. Little more consistant and a little larger egg.

    How do you feed yours? Grass and grain? Grain only? Grass only? I've tried all three and even though I like the 100% grass fed if done right... I'm partial to a little bit of grain added in too. I'm American... fat from grain is good flavor! I have 100% grass fed deer that are acorn finished!! I...
