Alrighty guys and gals. Let's talk about how to achieve (at least in theory) keeping your freezers full of chicken, quail, turkey, duck, whatever as long as it is covered in the BYC bi-laws.
Unless you are working on a project that involves Cornish X's that are over, lets say 12 weeks, with a plan to breed them and get fertile eggs from them LEAVE THEM OUT!
I'd like everyone to start with what they started with and what their goals are FROM THE FLOCK. I don't want to hear about saving third world countries or food miles. I just want to know and understand what you are doing to breed, hatch, raise, and cull (for food or for improving the flock).
I know this will morph. And that is fine as long as we stick to what YOU are doing, not what Joel, Bob, the gal down the road, etc are doing. I don't want to hear about what a book told you to do. I just want us to talk about OUR flocks and intentions.
Remember, even if you are supplementing your freezer with Cornish X's WE ARE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THEM! Standard Cornish is fine of course.
Does this sound good to anyone???
