I was wondering if anyone processed heritage cockerels and hens around 3 months old? I would like to know if their meat and skin are tender when fried or roasted? I know at 5 months old their meat and skin are like rubber and needs to be stewed or used to make soup. My 3 month old Breese/Dark...

I read a lot of articles by paid writers who claim potato leaves are poisonous to chickens, but I have never heard of any chicken dying from it?

I have my potatoes growing in pots with a cage wrapped around them, but this does not stop them from eating my plants. However, I think their instincts are kicking in because I don't see them eating it anymore. Anyway, the good news is they are still alive...............I think potatoes and...

I was wondering if any one tried changing a Dark Cornish line into a white Cornish line? This is a picture of my chicks bred from my Dark Cornish rooster and recessive white Plymouth Rock hen. I noticed that all of them had pea combs, and some were on the white side. This gave me an idea, I...

Does anyone know how to tell what gender these chicks are? Not sure if a cross between a Dark Cornish rooster and White Plymouth Rock hen will produce sex links. One chick was chip monk color and the other 3 were yellowish.

One of my hens was broody so I put her in a separate broody cage where I temporarily kept a young crowing rooster. I was adjusting his no crow collar, so I needed easy access to him. On the second day, I notice that his legs were bleeding and the hen was pecking at his legs. He looked...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone kept a few Cornish cross hens for breeding after they reached the 7 week mark? I saw Homestead Heart on YouTube say she fed her Cornish Cross once a day, but I think she started them out that way. I fed mine as much as they wanted to eat for 7 weeks and just set...

I was wondering if anyone raised these before. I want to know how heavy they get at 12 weeks and if the roosters started crowing at that time.

Hello, I was wonder if these are worth the price? They look different than other cornish for sale...

Hello, I was wondering what will happen to my baby chicks that ate a rubber leg band. I notice that the small rubber band on their legs were getting tight, so I rolled them off and set the rubber down in a corner and before i could remove the rubber bands, I saw them running with them in their...

I bought four live Bresse chicks from a local farm in Hawaii called, Paradise Poultry. I ended up with 3 males and 1 female. The males had different tones of blue on their legs from light to dark and the female had yellow legs with blue splotches on its toes. I wrote to them asking them what...

I was wondering if that line can be replicated. They say hybrids can't be bred through, but a new strain can be created by crossing two pure lines, so I think its possible to create a line from the roasters. I have read a post where they crossed a dark Cornish with Mcmurry's roasters and got...

My rooster likes to attack my feet with sneaky leg shuffles, its a good thing he doesn't have any spurs yet. I found that when I grabbed his two legs together and let him flap his wing up right until he got tired, he eventually gave up and hung upside down. I notice he was calm and didn't...

My Bresse cockerel has a highlighted vaguely light brown color on the top part, is this common? Its not pure white.

I fed them some year old oat grain that has been sterilized and inoculated with mushroom culture and they ate it. It smelled like it was fermented. I hope they don't get sick.

Hello, I have two Female Cuckoo Lemon Orpingtons and one Bresse Rooster. I was wondering what color would the chicks be and would I get three different body types?

Assuming that the Hen lays one egg a day, I was wondering how many eggs should I collect for the incubator if I had only one Rooster and one Hen?

I just hatched 6 Barbeziuex chicks and after I dipped 3 different beaks in the water, I lost tract of who was who. I was wondering if the other two will die from thirst or will it learn from the others?.

I hatched this white rooster with two different farms. The Jersey Giant farm has white Rhode Island, but can't confirm they sent it and the Buff Orpington farm told me the only white chicken they could have sent for extras were a cross between Breese and Leghorn. My question is what do you think...

I ordered 6 Bresse eggs on ebay and got 6 free assorted extras for processing delay. I can't figure out what this one is? It has feather on its leg and its tail look fluffy......and it has 5 toes and it was half the size of the rest.
