Cockerel. Commercial feed. We can separate him. Does he have a chance to survive? It is 3 weeks ‘TIL we take them to be processed.

Our White Rocks are 7 weeks old. One of our largest has many feathers missing off of his back, and it looks red and sore. He is eating & drinking. Any suggestions would be appreciated please! How do we deal with this?

i haven’t seen that brand here.

Everything I read suggests we want a minimum of 20% protein in the chick starter. I live in Ontario, Canada. Two different feed places I've approached ONLY sell 18% protein chick starter. I've been advised that turkey starter has 28% protein and duck starter has 22% protein. Is it ok to feed...

Yes, on 2 separate occasions. White Rocks. It really isn’t a “habitation “.... it is a garage/workshop/relaxed entertainment area. We are going to separate the areas as much as possible. We realize, after the multitude of responses, that this is not ideal but it is what we have available this...

Good morning. We are in Sauble Beach, Ontario.

Good morning Tella. Thank you. The dust has settled....thankfully! Yes, we are raising them for roasting. I will check out the options you mentioned. :jumpy (I just found the cool emoticons that this site offers). :thumbsup

Thank you.

Understood. I thank you very much for the time and thought that you put into your responses. I really do appreciate it. The one thing that has come out of this thread is that my husband and I will now be prepared. If the chicks are creating too much dust and dander, we will relocate them to the...

Ontario, Canada...shores of Lake Huron. The chicks could not possibly actually be outdoors in April or May. The man cave is insulated with heated floors. the shed would just have a heat lamp, but perhaps once they start to get their feathers that would be good enough. I had no idea this was...

No, not the basement. 30’ x 40’ garage/workshop/entertainment area.

Oh dear.....this post has raised some concerns. I answered a question incorrectly. Is the man cave indoors? Yes. I was interpreting that question as being, was it in the house? and the answer to that is “no”. It is a separate structure. It is a 30’ x 40‘ building, and in one part of it there...

Yes. Outdoor man cave.

We are only raising them for 8 weeks, and doing prep to protect the man cave. We may be very naive....might have to make a new plan for next year’s group.

My bad....I should have used proper terminology. We have ordered White Rocks.

Thanks!

Years ago I had the opportunity, on two separate occasions, to raise roasting chickens. It was a different time & I was in a farming/rural setting. My husband & I have decided to start again. This time we will be raising them in the man cave!!! I was delighted to find this forum, and look...

We will be raising 25 meat birds in our man cave. Once they start getting bigger, how high do the walls have to be & is a cover necessary to keep them from flying out? Thank you.
