Well now I guess we will find out together. We have done Blue Slate heritage and like I said lots of Geese and even 2 wild turkeys but we are raising our first BB Bronze and Whites right now and will have 15-20 to slaughter in Nov. I cant imagine that it will have an issue especially if they...

Absolutely agree and it is not illegal in any case to defend life (yours children pets etc...) or livestock that is a threat on your own property to the items you listed above. You can shoot them anytime you can articulate a threat ie (not just for being in your yard) but can not trap them...

I waited all this time because I wasn't the OP @Masterjoe , I've never raised a CX so they didn't grow in front of my eyes, I am suspicious of everything including why those people are parked in the van across the street but I digress:woot My wife and Son both have Biology degrees so genetics is...

Doesn't sound at all un-plausible just would be odd from a Hatchery like Hoover but mistakes are made in hospitals too.

Not sure if this is directed at me personally or just at the system in general so I'm a bit confused but don't want to misunderstand your comment.

They are and I admire them greatly but if I catch one setting in my Oaks adjacent to our free range area I will employ means to make them leave. We actually have both red shouldered and Red tailed hawks and like our Canadian Geese, we have a resident population who are born, grow, breed, raise...

They are beautiful birds too! As nicely as I can say this, showing the picture you did here In the US would get you in big trouble regardless of your intentions ( which in your case I believe are very honorable in educating not killing). Let’s just say I was trying to warn people here not to do...

Sorry you should be able to unroll a manageable piece and work with it. Please let us know how it went and BTw my wife is 5’2” and .........( I’ve been married for 30+ years and I’m not an idiot) She could handle the 50 foot sections but preferred the 25 foot sections.

I understand @LaFleche is located in GERMANY and I am not familiar with EU or German law; however, I am putting this here as a cautionary tale for a US or Canadian resident who sees this and wants to take matters into your own hands including @elisabeth_ . This picture (and the previous) without...

Galvanized hot dip and aluminum will leach much more chemicals than a UV stable food grade plastic anything from science readings. FDA approved plastics will not leech any harmful chemicals over years with liquid in them (long term storage). I can not use anything Galvanized in my restaurant for...

My wife does frozen grapes sometimes split sometimes not and the watermelon from fridge or freezer but really any melon. Cantaloupes we grow are prob their favorite.

Yeah my wife is at wits end, I have regular stainless fridge/ bottom freezer in the house and large Commercial chest and Commercial standup freezer and a one door comm. fridge in the sunroom and another old wild game aging plain fridge /freezer combo where I dry age my Deer, Bear, and Beef...

That's a good idea and I can see the value in that as well depending on limited space how hard a worker you are lol. I am really lazy! In my eyes it takes just as much effort to clean my scald pot, Defeatherer, stainless tables, knives, scissors dip pots and coolers after doing 50+ birds as it...

I don't want to completely derail the thread but you hit the nail on the head with something akin to the corona discussion re "viral load" with bacteria as well. I guess it's what I was trying to point out to @Mike Conowingo with his original question. Will his 12 hour 47F chicken have more...

Sure thing and for the record Salmonella is probably the most common foodborne illness in restaurants and its fairly easy to prevent by proper handling cross contamination mostly. I typed and re typed the first quote to you about killing your family because I didn't want to come off wrong or...

I concur with this and we got our for less than $350 shipped. It is 2.5 years old with 100+ chickens turkeys and a bunch of wild ducks and geese under its belt. Two cautions: Keep the motor dry (turn on its side to dry thoroughly after cleaning before storage) and plan on replacing the crappy...

Staph and Botulism are two off the top of my head that heat (normal cooking) will not kill. There are others and before the Chemistry grammar police (My son has a degree in Chem/Biology in College and takes me to task frequently) come along I will make this distinction. Bacteria of kinds above...

I assume that was shipped to Mass? I looked at the wire I want for some fence it was $196 for product and $433 to ship it to Central Va /NC border ( live 8 miles from Va) :confused:

I own a restaurant and without going into the food science part of it there are several bacteria resultant toxins that are not killed from cooking, once they're there they're there and no amount of cooking renders them safe. So please don't make your family sick believing that cooking something...

Helpful hint Ive found building a few chicken tractors with 1/2 inch hardware cloth and with a 100 foot roll you will need 2 people, Oh which reminds me DONT DO 100 FOOT ROLLS.... You are much better off paying an extra $5 or so IIRC for 2 50 foot rolls since they are so much easier to manage...
