I click on the link but nothing is there

I was referring to color of the meat, also ratio light to dark with similar flavor. Ive purchased a local gal`s butchered Cornish cross and it was delicious - just wondering whether there's some compromise breed where we could be a bit more self-sustaining instead of having to buy every year

On the nutridrench- does anyone mix an keep longer than the recommended 24 hrs?. I cut the ratio down to a pint- but still seems like I'll be wasting a bunch if I follow that guideline

Dual purpose birds for meat?? Because I don't like the idea of having to purchase new birds every year, I would like to be able to reproduce my own. We are pretty traditional American eaters so I know Cornish cross is closest To grocery store meat- any specific breeds that are maybe a "close...

From someone who took "horse Iver" treating the "plague" a few years ago (in a measured weight appropriate dose) - I would not expect ill effect from the trace amount in chicken eggs ( maybe if you ate 2 dozen a day for 3 weeks straight lol).

Ok, you've been so helpful already....I'm just going to ask you directly. Exciting site today in the chicken tractor. An egg!!! 16 weeks. We don't have nesting boxes built yet. There is a large heavy rectangular box that was left in our shed. It's 4' long (ID about 45") 16" wide (ID about...

So excited! Just got my first egg in the chicken tractor. Pretty sure it was one of my Buff Orpingtons (she was looking a little stressed). 16 weeks yesterday.

Wow! Thanks for taking the time to answer in such detail. I guess it's a good thing I didn't decide to try meat this year. Lots to think and pray about. I ordered a frozen cornish cross from a local farmer to try for dinner....but it sounds like all the different varieties can taste quite...

Hi all ~ Newbie chicken mom here. I'm in Western WI near the twin cities. We just moved here from a south metro suburb, but my husband is a "cheesehead since childhood" (raised in Ashland WI). I have 4 buff orp hens, a RIR, and a buff orp rooster (no eggs yet, so I guess they're technically...

Could you possibly post a few pics? I'm needing some ideas in our limited space.

Thanks! There's a Wisconsin forum here? I will look for it.

Ok, so I went through the article on fermenting. This is something I'd been thinking about for a while, but hadn't actually jumped into yet. I do have a question (assuming you ferment, since you had the link). The article says feed 1/2 to 1 cup 2x/day (watching for it to be gone in 30 min). Is...

Good ideas, thanks!

Thanks! Lots to think about here...

I am geeking out on the first research project. This could become more time consuming than FB LOL

Thanks! and Love your tagline/signature....safe under HIS wings. That's where I want to stay :)

Hi all! I currently have 5 pullets (4 Buff Orps, 1 RIR) and 1 (oops) Buff Orp rooster. No eggs yet (about 16 wks)....already looking to next year, and whether I want to add more for meat. My feed supplier (a local farmer who ground us some good organic feed) is not real thrilled with cornish...

Thanks

Someone else learning at 40 I see, ...maybe she'll feel better knowing someone else is just starting at 60 LOL. I've been in some "chicken groups" on FB, but FB is just too time consuming LOL. .Last summer we bought an old farm house with buildings and 3 ac in WI, just outside the MN twin...

I realize this is a very old post. Apparently Cackle has stopped producing this variety. Anyone have ideas where I could find this bird commercially (without buying and making my own cross)?
