Tomorrow morning is the start of butching days ahead, sooo excited !!!! Fun times ahead !!!! We are ready to go !!! 150 cornish X to butcher 5 weeks old, we start early , we like our fryers small. We usually dress anywhere from 20 to 30 a day. Tomorrow it will probably be only 20.
I installed a 1 1/2 inch pvc pipe with nipples for my baby cornish x chicks, It does not leak, when we install it we fill it and let it set to see . The chicks took right to them , but boy does it make a mess when they drink, water everywhere!!! Now what do I do ? anybody else have this problem?
Been working on upgrading the coop and installing automatic doors and waterers.
Automatic door 1 works with a pool pump and pumps water into the counter weight
of a morning to raise the door and drains down at night to shut it. also...
Received my meaties in the mail today 150 cornish X !!!. Been working on upgrading the coop , and installing waterers . Hope they take to drinking from the nipples soon
Hi All,
Been snooping a lot on the site so thought I just as well join. I have been raising meat birds for a few years now. (150 a year). Been trying to improve my set up, and have found a lot of good info here. .
Thanks for all the help so far... Anyone else from IA
