    Can I feed my broilers the same starter/grower I feed my layers?

    Can I feed my broilers the same start/grower I use to feed my layers? It's blue seal multi-flock and has a protein content of 22%. I know I should feed my layers broiler food, but this seems like it would work... thoughts and insights needed. Thank you.

    Need some idea to keep my broiler healthy

    I have one broiler. The eggs which I brought from called them Ross Cobb. Not quite sure what that is. I actually got 12 eggs but my incubator broke down and only one survived. When there is only one, it becomes special and makes me really hard to eat it. She looks like a she and is currently...

    Is this a normal size?

    I have 8 week old chicks. I bought them from the same bin at Tractor supply. They were all sex links, and the sign says they were bred for egg production. 2 were brown, 2 yellow. The brown ones look and act just like I thought chickens would, but the yellow ones are ginormous and fat. They won't...

    Can a broiler bird live out a normal, full-length life?

    Hello! I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to be posting in, but I felt like you guys would have the best information. Also, you can direct me to a different forum, if you think it better fits there. So, about a month ago I picked up four bantams from the Tractor Supply, but it turns...

    Swollen Head Syndrome Information

    Today I had to euthanize my coturnix quail who was afflicted with this disease. She had it for several months, until it progressed to the point where she could no longer close her beak to eat or drink. I'm writing this to help others whose birds come down with this common but incurable disease...

    How long do broiler chickens live? As pets

    I have 3 broiler chickens all 9 weeks old. They don't look fully big, they are yoing and they chirp, I just give rice, grains and scraps as food. And they are very active. May be after it grows fully matured, i might free range it around the house. I'm not planning to kill them for meat at all...

    Broiler processed and found tiny heart with lots of fluid in pericardial sac

    I processed a broiler that was having trouble walking last night and when I was skinning her I found that the normally clear connective tissue that in near the neck and crop was almost fibrous and kind of had a snap to it when my knife touched it. This just seemed odd to me as in all the years...

    CORNISH BROILER

    As you can see, Gordo is quite bigger than his brother chick. I didn't know that Cornish broilers got so big when I initially bought this one but now I feel so bad. He gets so tired he can't walk and sits down often and has hair loss on his bottom. Is there anything I can do to help the guy lose...

    Meat Cross Breeds/ Aseel Cross

    I'm trying to figure it which meat cross to use. I want to use an Aseel as foundation stock with a Novogen. The offspring will be crossed with a conventional broiler chicken. It will be a dual purpose cross that inherits the egg laying from the Novogen and carcass size from the broiler. Should I...

    Meaty Coop

    I have transformed an old swing set into a coop for my meat chickens. The frame is enclosed by chicken wire, and the whole pen will be within an electric fenced area to keep predators out. The tarp will be placed over the top and the whole side facing the picture. It is almost 8 feet square, and...
