Why worm them then just cull them. That's what I'm asking

 

[centrarchid]

They are culled first, then de-wormed, followed by being sold. Protocol more for birds used for table-eggs or consumption as meat. Cocks and stags are brought back into weight which takes more than the withdrawal period, then a friend makes some fancy dishes even from old birds.

 

[centrarchid]

Weight declining for both. Got to get their appetites back up. Once had Blow fly eggs in a single clump under wing. Nuked it with spray.

I'd rather have a precooked rotisserie bird for $5 at any grocery store. Lol less work and probably the same amount of chemicals in em.

The best tasting chickens in the world are free-range games at 12 weeks post-hatch that hatched after June 1 and caught off the roost on the Saturday night before they are dressed and cooked for Sunday dinner with real mashed potatoes and collared greens. The need to be pan fried. The store bots are getting to fatty for my delicate palate.

 

[roosterhavoc]

My delicate palate is used to chicken nuggets, fish sticks, hot dogs and pb&j oh and eggs. I can eat for around $15 a week. I'm a cheap date.

Speaking of nice setups I wonder where lmljsl has been?

 

[centrarchid]

He may not be able to find threads. I still having problems with that.

Haha, Centra is right, it took me a while to get back to the thread after the change over, but I have also been crazy busy. I try to check in just to keep up on everything you guys are doing. I appreciate all of the info you share!

I have some nice young ones coming along and should get some pics to share. I have a blue wheaton pullet this year that makes me think of Centra. Hope all is well.

SDM, the chicks are growing nicely! It looks like there are two stags in the group. One blue, but may end up splash, can't tell yet as he has some white and black feathers and one that started out black, but now is showing blue. He is strait combed with a brown red appearance. They are smart little birds and friendly too. Since I had to hatch them in the incubator they have been outside with some cooler nights on their own. The first cool night out of the brooder I went to check on them and thought oh no, where did they all go. I called for them and all of their heads popped out of the nest bucket in the corner. All snuggled in to stay warm for the night. Made me laugh.
