Cross Continental Friends!!!

do you mean Cornish chicks die so easily?

during the years, I've raised so much breeds and crossbreads, I can say with no doubt, in the first 40 days, they want all the same things

after, the games need a particular diet, too way different from a medium or a bantam one

I usually mill them some cat crunchies, to improve protein and give them strength, don't think I'm crazy, but it's absolutely the better way

Everyone I know that has tried to raise them has bad luck. The diet thing is the other turn off. I'll have to remember the cat food thing. I give my ducks cat food during molting so I don't think that's crazy at all.

Off to serve and eat Sunday dinner! I shall continue on with whoever is still here! See ya'll later!!

All Right I'm back. Chat away!

you are quick as light

I'm sure you doesn't wash the dishes

 

[Megan Amber]

I am quick as light however I am actually going back and forth from the kitchen. My sister is washing but I have already put everything away and am helping my brothers dry!

jumping back to the Cornish problems, what do you mean when you say they are unlucky

do you've got some or just reporting others experience?

we've got to be very careful about temperatures, clean and also cage position

sure bantams are much stronger and quicker to put some feather

 

[Megan Amber]

I am reporting others experience, I have never really tried them myself. Because of the strict diet and temperature problems I don't hear many success stories. Just the other day I was helping someone try to figure out what was wrong with their cornish chicks. They would huddle up in the corner's of his brooder cage and then just die. I proposed that maybe the heat lamp was to hot, but he said that it was fine. We never really figured it out. I much prefer good old bantam's

in our group of breeder, having biggest and fastest growing kind give prestige to the farmer

there are so groups who looks more the colors or the respect of a standard, but, that's not bread for me

the games can give big satisfaction, if you're devote to them, are also so strong against diseases

many of the persons who ask me for advices, don't seem to take attention on coccidiosis, who's the first cause of die in little chicks, other leaves their babies watering the toes, big error too

if you find your raising line, and its work, sure you minimize deceases

 

[Megan Amber]

I see, well my family is not really in the chicken business as far as to the extent that you are, however I am trying to expand in the right ways.

My flock has never gotten coccidia, but my rabbits had it for a little while.
