Fill 'em with lighter fluid?

Probably fills them with coffee.

I remember back in the days when I first started in chickens, a few people in Pennsylvania said that they were snapping the necks of the male chicks. I was horrified!
I'm now debating raising the cockerels for meat or dispatching them now. Looks like I've changed.

Drop 'em off at my place and I'll raise 'em and eat 'em

Grandma used to grab 'em by the head & swing 'em in a circle 'til the body flew off.

So, I'm thinking all of these egg will be good to set in the auto-turner, there is nothing super jiggly or anything like that. @Sally Sunshine or anyone else, do you think I should leave the turner off for the first day? and for the eggs that have saddle cells should I place the dips parallel to the direction of the turner or perpendicular or does it matter?

Ok, someone near me is trying to give away their white silkie rooster that has sour crop. When I asked her how she was treating it she said this:

So I spoke to Malibu feed and they told me to do a baking soda and water flush. I did it yesterday and put him upside down and massaged his crop and not to be gross but he threw up a ton and I saw big pieces of straw so think that's what caused this.... This morning his crop is 3/4 the size which is awesome. I just picked up anti fungal medicine to give him per the vet and was going to start today just to make sure it's definitely gone. It's up to you if you wanted to pick him up and continue this way or use homeopathic treatments, You are welcome to come today or I can give him this medicine and see how he is in a few days ???



I currently have 3 white hens. I'd get some cute white chicks if I picked him up. What do you think? I told her to keep treating him and let me know how he is doing in a few days.

I wouldn't try and rehome him mid treatment, he needs to not have added stress while recovering. Wait until he's better to take him home with you.

It will be the best chicken you every have. It actually has taste. Store chicken has none unless you give it to it. Tougher like any wild animal. Because they actually have muscle mass. Cornish X's has no muscle mass. Because they never move.
