thank you

my niece would like to know if cedar shavings are harmful not only to chicks but also to adult chickens? Thanks for a speedy response.

I had 2 roosters and 14 hens. They would gang up on the hens it was aweful. We ate one rooster, and now the hens are MUCH happier.

Thanks greyfields, I had NO idea how involved the breeding is, all so interesting. So as far as feed goes, a slow cornish takes about 4 weeks longer to grow so is the feed about the same or would you come out ahead $$ wise on a fast cornish.

Yes, I ordered the slow cornish off of the meat birds catagory. I wonder if I should have just ordered fast cornish? I guess slow cornish isn't supposed to have the health issues of a fast . Well, it is fun trying new things. thanks

I think I'll be ok with 5 weeks until the craft show. I'll have my daughter sell the freshest first of course. She is so excited. Thanks everyone.

Thanks for all the info. This is such a great site! It's so nice getting questions anwered so fast. thanks

My daughter wants to sell our eggs at our churchs craft show. It is 5 weeks away. will eggs last for five weeks in the fridge? Thanks.

They are just little yellow fluff balls. I ordered them from Privett Hatchery advertised as slow cornish. So are cornish a good tasting bird? will they dress out at the large weight as a cornish x just take longer to reach that weight?

I just recieved 26 slow growing cornish. What is the difference between slow and fast cornish? More specific, what breeds are they?

If you wash them, how long will they last? Can eggs sit in the fridge for a month or only a couple of weeks?

Your absolutely right. I think I will attempt to build one myself and if it turns bad I'll take advantage of the fact that my DH actually gave me the go ahead to order one. I was shocked, he never wants to spend money, but then again he really hates do it yourself projects.

I would like to build a chicken tractor and I was showing my husband the Portable Chicken Pen from McMurray hatchery. It's metal. My husband thinks I should just order it, even though it's pricey he says it will last forever. Have any of you ever seen this pen in person? What are your...

can someone point me in the direction of the poem about an egg laying on it's side in water , then tilted and finally floating. I can't finrd the thread and I want to save it thanks

My hens are 20 weeks and just started laying. The eggs a teeny tiny. I think I have at least 3 hens laying because I get green, brown, and very light brown eggs. All but one hen should lay green. So Im a little curious about the 2 shades of brown since only one hen should lay brown, I wonder...

miltonchicks my thoughts exactly!. But you forgot the highrise with balcony so they can see the view.

I have two roosters who are each about 20 weeks. 3 weeks ago they started going after my poor hens. They are just now getting the "hang of it" However they are also testing out coming after me and the kids. So far just charging and a little peck. I started carry a broom with me to swat at...

I don't know how to post a picture but I got my First Egg TODAY!!! It's VERY small and just the cutest thing.

My nest boxes are 12x12. I thought there was no way my hens would fit. But they do. However I need to add a perch in front of them so they can manuver themselves around better. If I have to make more nest boxes I would make them 14x14.

Great to read an update! I don't blame Buffy, I'd rather sleep alone than have to listen to all that "cackling" going on in the Big house!!!
