100 Broilers and Fermented Feed Project

[kuntrygirl]

I picked up 10 CX from TSC yesterday...big ol' healthy looking chicks! They are currently chowing on FF and drinking from their nipple bucket, happy as bugs in a rug....little meat seeds runnin' around.

There is something that does not belong in there!! BA? My CX here are $1.30 each for straight run. $1.26 for females and $1.39 for males. Much better prices than any others I hear from. I got 20 for $26! No tax on livestock at our feed stores. Thank goodness.. Our sales tax is 13%.. so yeah, it would hike it up. There isn't any tax on feed for livestock either.

13% sales tax? WOW!!

Good score on the freezer !!!

1/2 cow sounds delicious. You are definitely on the right track as far as filling your freezer. I think I"m halfway there. I bought a new freezer in October last year as I was preparing for the broilers that I have purchased. I have processed 1 lamb and have 2 more to process in the next month or so. Was going to process turkeys but I ended up selling all of the extra toms. Same thing with the male ducks. A guy came over and bought 25 of my extras. With duck hatching season here now, I will have extra ducks this year. And I have been so lucky (yea right

) to have all male new born lamb over the last week. The only thing I can do with my male lamb is to fatten them up for the freezer. After that, I think my freezer will be jam packed. Oh, I almost forgot the hog, I have on my list. A guy wants to barter and swap his hog (to weigh 80-100 lbs) for ducks. He wants ducks and I want hog. Win/Win.

That sounds like a great exchange! Do you have any more lambs waiting to be born? Lamb is a delicious little creature

Do you know how many broilers you have left now?

I have 3 mamas waiting to drop. I may or may not have twins. We'll see.

I think I have 50 broilers left.

BA mix...little Hootie...who met with an unfortunate accident and is no longer with us. He was the first chick born through incubation in a nest using a heating pad and only lived 3 days before meeting with an untimely death.
