I have 2 also... One seems to be puffed up a bit, but I can't find anything wrong... That I can see I should say... She's a hefty thing, so I know she's eating well. Feathers are clean, mite free... Dunno. The other one is a trip. They've already learned that I come bearing food... And they tried getting in the house through the garage. Lol.

I heard my first cluck today! So far it has been the chickie peeps, but when I spent some time talking with them today, I heard a cluck! I call to them every time I come down to the basement to check on them. I am hoping this will encourage them to come to me when they are outdoors. I've been noticing that when I call to them, they will come over to side of the brooder that I am standing on! It's fun to get a reaction from them.

I think i am pretty fed up with my flogging rooster.. he sure is getting worse.. he is 9 or 10 months old.. is he to old to put on the grill.. i was thinking brine all day and over night.. and maybe put on grill for a few hrs.. and if he is still tough.. maybe put in roaster and cook on low till tender.. but would like it if i could just cook on grill.. anyone know if there is a better way to do this with good results..

Welcome to the group.. glad you joined us..

cull him and let him rest in the fridge for 3 days. then soak in brine... maybe that would help.

well he is cooked and almost gone just a little bit of leftovers. I slow roasted,grilled,and slow roasted again.. turned out delicious.. not stringy.
my dd is not much of a meat eater and she loved it...
