Actually its a great place and you will learn so much. There is a great section on coops and designs too.

Wayne here is a good article on them. Breeders here in the US are trying to re-create the breed by outcrossing according to this article.

"littles" - I like that. I have 18 chickens and 62 littles. That is my story and I'm sticking to it.

Actually I think that it is the Hubbard line of meaties that are owned by a pharmacutical company so they must be pretty good layers. They probably use them to produce vaccine.

No, just meat.

Do you really think Upjohn produced meat? Why did they split the two breeds then?

I spent the afternoon reconfiguring a breeder pen into 2 seperate Brooder pens, walk in type with full swinging doors, and tricity for the heat lamps. Got more chicks than I know what to do with and hatching more, I think I am getting into trouble here LOL. The 2 full brooders will go outside tomorrow as soon as I tweek the pens a bit, then go inside and set 2 doz more sheesh.
