    A short chicken feed rant

    Hahahaha. I've been called bad things, a mistake of gnder doesn't bother me. I've had the most beautiful pony tail for decades (except when donating it). Just had it chopped off (too damaged to donate), starting over. Used to have "swimmer's legs" too - those days are gone. As are the cat...

    Brahma are beautiful birds, I have some dark Brahma myself. They are NOT well suited to heat (though they tolerate it surprisingly well). They don't grow quickly, they aren't efficient eaters (not much weight gain per pound of feed consumed), they are slow to mature, infrequent producers of...

    A short chicken feed rant

    So, do you intend to breed your own replacements, or buy periodically? Birds for eggs? (and how many eggs is your daily target)? or birds for meat? or birds for both? (understanding that no bird does both very well, and most birds do neither well) Its MUCH easier to get a better than average...

    A short chicken feed rant

    Damn it. I had pages written. My computer highlighted the text, deleted it, then crashed. I have lots of things to say, but am uncertain as to what question(s) I'm supposed to be trying to answer. I am also uncertain what the OP is trying to do - I seem to have missed a post or three...
