"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

Bahahaa Yes via text!
He wants to order by end of week, I can find out from where tonight, it came to 44.65 for 25 CX free shipping and he can't resist lol
I've prepped brooders, have feed ready for an array of creatures a
and am on stand by lol
We are serious about record keeping, cannot afford waste and the easiest way to track cost and waste is keeping track

That is great news. He informed you via text? Gotta love it.

LOL @ cook one bully hen and look what happens.

Keep us informed with reports as often as you can in reference to their growth, feed comsumption, etc. I would love to hear how your CX project progresses. Also would love to know staring and ending weights. When will you be getting your 25 CX and where are you geting them from?

LOL @ on stand by. I love it !!!!!!!

I'm excited about your CX project. I found a feed comsumption table on yesterday, so I will study it to see how much I am looking at spending as far as feeding them for 8 weeks. If their weight is not up to my standards at 8 weeks, I may keep them around for 10 weeks instead of 8 weeks.

Question.. and this is for anyone who has raised broilers or CXs before. If your birds die before the process time, do you still process them anyway?

And is there really a difference between broilers and CXs besides the length of time they stay alive? The meat is pretty much the same right?

Amen.

Wow you do need some Mt. air . They always get caught in the end. I know a little about antiques why did you ask Kuntrygirl? Made it to Atlanta safe an sound. Looking forward to Purple Mountain Majesty tomorrow. Have a great day everyone !!!!! Pam

Have fun on your trip.

Just curious to who was in to antiques. I look at Craigslist a lot and I see all kinds of antiques that I admire and wish that I had space to put them but I don't. I like looking at furniture, dishes, appliances, etc. I know some people would prefer eating off of fine China if they went to someone's house, but for me, you could pull out the old antique dishes and a mason jar to drink in and I would be tickled pink. I just like that kinda stuff.

I thought it was interesting to read the Bresse thread about how good they taste – but, it seems to me if you fed any kind of chickens the way the traditional Bresse is fed, that would affect the taste of the meat.

I remember when we used to raise a couple of hogs every year, Daddy would finish them off with corn the last couple of weeks. I plan on doing that with my meat birds.

Speaking of Mason Jars. I have some antique Mason Jars that were my husbands grandmothers. She was big on canning. I feel privileged to have them. If I can ever get my husband to look the other way I would snap up a few of the blue ones for sure!!! I have decided not to can in the older jars anymore. They are just too precious and I don't want them to break in the canner......it happens now and then. Here is one with ATLAS on it that I have flour stored in.

I don't know if anyone remembers that I ended up with a pair of Mottled Houdans back in spring. I had found a home for the Roo because he was a serious crowing annoyance from the start. He went to a young lady we know (kept at her grandmas where the girl spends lots of time). Well, guess who I saw at the Fair........with a Blue Ribbon.......beautiful tail! Too much white for a M Houdan. But he was the best there. He sure was aggressive compared to when he was little! I guess he got a good start though. We were excited to see him!

Can I peek!?
Lol
I'm fermenting feed and LOVE it but trying to gather some solid numbers seems difficult :/ so using regular feed numbers and my FF numbers I have to get an idea helps.

Imma sponge for info and we have always had hiccups on New projects lol so all info is welcomed.
We want 8 weeks, we will probably do 10 weeks if successful with free range/FF building strong chicks.
My husband and I agreed if we physically see a broiler bite it- not due to obvious disease, we would process it immediately. :/ figuring a "flip" or "drop dead" is a heart attack making it safe to eat if processed AT time of death.
I hope not to lose any! Bahahhaa But it happens sooooo that's our thought. If "found" dead we wouldn't.
