The good thing about my chickens is I have a laying flock that lay the fertile eggs. Then I hatch the eggs and have meat chickens. Of course I'll keep the pullets I love most, I might even make a free range flock with no fencing to see how they do.

Ah, I didn't know you're doing DP birds, me too! I'm doing Turken mixes due to summer heat here, but I have some mixed with Jersey Giant and some with Bresse, now I'm adding Dorking/Red Ranger to the mix as well.

Yeah I understand when tinkering can cause more problems, I'm the same way. I taped a thermometer in mine because I don't trust any technology.

I'm making my own incubator and I can't wait to do it!

We have dual purpose ducks and chickens... It's our first time doing them so it's a bit nerve-wracking. We picked the most meaty breeds we have for egg collecting.

I've thought about ducks but probably not. Working on hubs for a couple of rabbits though, just for poop for the garden not eating.

My husband wants rabbits for eating. I'll wait for that though

I don't like the taste of rabbit. Of course I've never had a meat rabbit, only those hubs brought home from hunting. Not my thing at all!

Yeah game/wild meat is different I think. I think there's few game meats I tried as a kid that I liked.

Hey friends. Just a heads up. If you have a pretty hen you can enter them in Purina poultry’s contest on Facebook. I entered my Mopsy. You can win a years worth of feed. Good luck!
