Yesterday was a great day! Last year I bought an old Ford hay baler that looked in great shape. Sheet metal was solid and you could tell it was barn kept. Well when I first tried to use it one of the knotters was not working properly.
Ok this is where the language of a sailor came out of me...
Bresse chick count so far.
22 out of the bator!!
I had to help 3 outta their shells and they went back into the bator till they fluff up.
Had a few quitters and got some eggs left to go. But so far they look really good!!
I finally introduced my 4 BBB turkeys to my free range flock, I'm hoping they do well with them. My turkeys seem to be very sweet birds. We will see how today goes!!
Who would have said that? They are a meat breed a lot of us like that TSC and other feed stores give us the opportunity to purchase our meat. Whoever told you that was very mistaken.
I
With my lack of expertise, this is my guess.
Cornish cross about 1 to 1-1/2lbs and 3 weeks old with exceptional feathering for a meat bird... Any other guesses?
I placed another order of 25 CX and 10 freedom Rangers, on top of my bator full of bresse eggs. So here shortly I will have bresse, freedoms, and CX running around. We will see how this venture works out lol.
just put my 3'rd set of CX in the tractor. I have moved my BBB to a grow out pen, kinda transition from tractor to free range for them. Here are a couple pics of my 5 week and 3 week olds enjoying the day. I placed them about a 1/3 of the tractor in TALL alfalfa and the rest of their room is cut...
