What kinds of worms can you see, Larry? Aren't some kinds of worms, or their eggs, microscopic?

 

[BigBlueHen53]

wonder why they dont just call it butterfly?

I still may order 10 Cornish X roosters and 15 pullets. Eat the roosters and breed the pullets to a purebred cornish rooster I have now.

Larry, how do you keep them alive long enough to breed? And do you AI them?

I got some Ivermectin pour-on to worm mine with today. They've never been wormed. What's the dosage? And do I have to discard the eggs?

I'm supposed to get 10 of these along with 15 cream legbars on the 17th of June

My tail end hurts from sitting on it too much today. My finger still hurts too. I think this has hurt longer then my ribs just not as bad a pain.

We control the feed intake better than what they say so. I have some now that are well over a year old. And yes they will be AI like broad breasted turkeys are.

I don't know. That is not what I'm using. I've got to get more info when I pick up the stuff on Friday. I may not use it if I have to toss the eggs for a long period of time. The stuff I wanted was $300 and only sold in bulk for huge layer houses. None for small operators.

Could you post a pic of one or some of your year-old CX?

The rooster pictured gets as tall as 3'. A small one is 24" tall. They are docile with people but can get nasty with other chickens.

Sure can. I'll try and remember to get some updated ones tomorrow. I had some of them as full adults back at about 9 months. Got one rooster too that I want to AI some to. All of them are like pet puppies. They are all over you when you go in their coop.
