Hi, i was wondering with regards to a laying flock would fermenting feed be a good choice. Adding onto this if i was to ferment their feed how would i go about doing it. I would havd to restrictive feed?
Hi everyone, ive heard that if you cross a indian game (cornish) chicken with egg laying breeds it gives you a good neat bird. Can anyone explain this. I dont know much about this. Does this cross create meat birds or dual purpose birds?
Does anyone eat their roosters? If so do you raise the extra roosters that your going to eat, with your hens or in a seporate pen. Also what do you feed the roosters?
Yeah, the only problem i have with eating older hens is that you have to use their meat for soups and stews. I was thinking that with young pullets their meat will be more tender. Better for a roast chicken 😁. Is that the case or are younger pullets meat just as tough?
Yeah, i will keep the hens i need but was just wondering if i could eat any extra hens. I could sell them, but i have some roosters for meat and could do with some more meat birds. I like the idea of being as self sufficient as possible so rather then selling them i would rather eat them.
