Great minds think alike Ralph

Heavy soil.

Looks like I will get some turkeys then. I've wanted some royal palms for a while now

Didn't know if turkeys would act the same as the geese. I get a little crazy when something hurts my birds

My attempt at having geese AND chickens didn't work out.the geese were way to aggressive

Do your turkeys and chickens mix are do they have a separate pen

Ralph,I've wanted to get some white ones.They are a BEAUTIFUL bird

Ralph has been at this a while,he makes it look easy. It can be done. It takes alot of work. IMO it's a numbers game. You will have failures,there is no getting around it,but with persistence it CAN be done.

Lf(large fowl) Cornish are very hardy birds in my experience. They are a poor choice if you want alot of eggs,they don't lay like a production layer. They go broody at the drop of a hat and make excellent mothers

The only "problem" with Lf Cornish is there rate of lay. We were talking about cornish cross (Cx) If not managed correctly Cx can experience a multitude of health problems

Doc,ya have to put that information out there continuously.lol

They have the BEST disposition of any of the breeds I've raised

These statements are Not opinions. They are observations of the way My birds respond to different management techniques. In the end that is where the ACTUAL. problem with Cx occurs.Poor management

And another thing,after the birds hit maturity they DON'T eat as much. I don't starve my birds. I do control what they eat in a responsible manner. People who have problems raising Cx typically,overfeed,overheat,and overcrowd the birds.A recipe for disaster with ANY animal

I cut yhe protein content of my birds and allowed them to eat as much as they want. End result, my Cx were leaner and HEALTHY.aI habe absolutely NO leg problems and the birds are active. The ones that I went to camp had full meaty carcasses. AND the internal organs were NOT encased in fat. Cx...
