100 Broilers and Fermented Feed Project

[Coralietg]

PS: I sent my husband to TSC this morning to check for Cornish after he picked the freezer up. There were no Cornish, but he came home with 4 bantams and 2 pullets

My inside brooder has 3-4 week chicks in it. One of the bantams is the size of a golfball. Ahhh!

Sounds like his chicken match didn't quite add up....

Is there anyone who is planning on getting a Food Saver Vacuum Sealer? I have a coupon for $10.00 off if you want it.

i'm considering one--need to get taxes back first--- is there an expiration date??

Hi every one just wanted to update on how my chicks are doing we are on week 6, Kuntrygirl I've included weights let me know if this is about what I should be expecting, Thanks! Week 3 Little Grey Cochin lost 0.5 oz, noting GLW getting combs the 7.0 getting some nice tail feathing and 7.5 has molting naked stripes on her back. Cuckoo has some nice feathering on her leg feathers but continuing to have bald spots on wings. Buffs with eggers 4 of 5 getting some nice feathing. Delawares and Wyndottes also feathering in. Cornish so naked I could see the water in their crops! keel very pronounced in all birds. And personality is standoffish. 2 of the cornish have more desire to interact. 1 of which was "biggie" who origially was in the egger cage.
WFBS flying over others and just begining to molt. First noticed new feathers comming in with the BO,s.

Week 6 all birds showing signs of combs and look pretty rough as feathers are comming in WFBS the most aggresive of all the "eggers" one of the WFBS (the meanest) had a bloody tail feather area looked to be from feathers comming in that area, but he's still the meanest of the bunch! Along with the WFBS the WW are also very agressive unclear if it's due to being in with meaties or they are just Pecker heads! All meaties weights this week are before am food and water, eggers had both food and water prior to weights. I believe Brahma was 8.5 or 9 oz but forgot to write it down so no weight listed for him on the spread-sheet. Really enjoying my EE, Cochins, and the GW's are pretty cool too! Hopefully both EE's are girls but may keep even if they are not. Switched every other bag of feed to greater than 20% protien until they are done getting in their feathers.
