I just wanted to say that I sat down and read all 155 pages of this thread in one sitting and I found it very informative and somewhat persuasive to NOT try raising these birds myself LOL I was also extremely upset to get to page 155 after 8+ hours of constant reading to not get a final tally on...

Easy, treat them as chickens. Don't leave food out for them 24/7 . I fed mine 3 times a day for the first 2 wks and I fed fermented feed. After that I do a good feed at 9 am (because I don't want to earlier) and the bigger feed at 4 or 5pm. Enough that they can eat in 15 min. Put the...

Not sure about kuntrygirl but you can feed a lot of chickens with a rain gutter. Cut it in half and place each end in a cement block. Lower hole for younger and higher hole for grown chickens. You can buy it for less than $10 and a couple of bucks for the blocks. Easy, cheap and doable...

Wow, a good start of the breeding program.

Great to hear. I wondered if Serio's carried it Good to know. Keep us informed on their progress. My 18 LF are doing great. The Delawares are a little puny but the White Rocks and Golden Comets are going gang busters. Will it NEVER stop raining? I've been trying to get into the...

Yeah I think I will. I may have to wait until fall because it gets so darn hot, Well, you would know about heat. Shreveport gets hot but not near the humidity as south.

Hmmmmm Dirty rice. Don't see it enough. I must try to do some this year. Even with store bought gizzards. I read that 4 wk old CX's are processed at 2.5 lbs for cornish game hens. I have been seriously considering doing a few just 4-5 wks. How much food do you think 10 would eat in that...

How many did you give him for his "help"?

Yea!!!! I know you are relieved. When did you say you were getting more?

That looks outstanding. I need to bring home a few. What's a few more in the brooder. Does it matter if I put TSC chicks in with my Meyers that are coming tomorrow?

I saw something on youtube where you carefully hold the chicken up and let it dangle and cut out the backbone (spatchcock) sp and open it up and the insides will be easy to get out. I'm going to try it.

Bahahahaha Priceless!! Now we know what to say. Love it. Forgot to tell you my chicks are at Shreveport coming this way. Yea!!!!

This is as bad as the lady blogger who is way overweight and blogs about empowerment. Seems she had a picture of her new bikini and got brave enough to post. And a firm ripped off her picture and is using it as a before picture on weight loss. Insult to indignity At least you can laugh...

Good luck to you honey. It's a LOT of work. Keep us updated.

Hey myguysmama Welcome to BYC I've heard that the best thing to do is get a fish scale for big birds. Just a smaller kitchen one (I buy on Amazon) for up to 8-10 lbs. Why don't you start a new thread on the Meat ETC forum. That will get you a lot more watchers. Good luck. I'll be...

Such is fame.

Good for you. You won't regret it.

Oh I am so sorry about this. She was such a champ.

I, too, am sick of this weather. Last year spring started 1st part of Feb.

x2 I have 50 different breeds . 25 coming end of March and other 25 at end of April. Not the CX from I'm a total newbie so a big learning experience for me.
