How long can a completely thawed whole chicken stay “safe” to eat if kept in a refrigerator? Google states 1 or 2 days… That seems extremely short to me. I have had 2 complete birds in the Zip-Loc bag they were originally placed in fully thawed for 3 days. Today would be day 4, which is when I...

I fit two 2lb-ish birds into a Crock-pot and set to high for 6 hours. I then removed the meat from the bones, which just more or less fell off, then put all the bones back in until it was a total of 24 hours. I put a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar at the start. 1 onion and some pre minced...

So I harvested my first set of 5 roosters this past weekend. Everything went okay, but after reading a bit here. I'm not sure I got it completely correct. I just want to make sure I don't poison myself. After skinning the birds, I rinsed them off with water directly from the faucet to remove...

Just picked up my first flock of Rhode island red's. 6 to be exact. I requested all hens, and I was told they are 2 months old. I do not know how to tell a male from a female chicken. Especially at this age. At least one of them seems a little more aggressive (even bit me! lol) and worries me...

I am VERY new to this. But I am taking in 6 hens today. I do have a coop, but it seems to be missing a few items (see pics). I am not really sure where to put the roosting bars. Also where to put the nesting boxes. I need to get this ready asap! The hens are 2 months old currently. The area...
