Quote: They are not that aggressive..I love cornish. You will love how they taste too. You can safely place one of your birds in with them in a small sectioned off area.They do not necessaraly have to touch, or be touched.

I just saw this little brochure (and I mean little...not a lot or in-depth, but beginning food for thought) from Weston Price. Thought someone might want to take a look.

Well...I'm one that uses either organic or non-gmo feed. I also NEVER feed soy in any form as it is not an item that a chicken would eat if it had a choice. Soy is not useable by - and in fact is dangerous to - chickens unless it is roasted - and even then it is not a healthy alternative for many reasons.



I've just chosen to aim for the most natural husbandry for their health and mine as a consumer of their eggs and meat.

Well said.

That did not work for me..

Yet another question...

Am I correct when I assume, that putting some dirt (from our yard where they will eventually free range) in with the chicks (at about 2 weeks of age) that it will help them build up immunities against cocci?

I'm not using medicated feed, I'll be FF with non-medicated crumbles, U-ACV, oregano and garlic (I'm hoping the pumpkin seed powder as well) from day one.
Thank you!

thanks to all who answered my quarantine question

I got it to work...thank you..

Adding soil or a dirt mound to the brooder does help chicks with building up immunities and cocci issues they might have once they hit the ground.

Well...let me try this another way. I'm hoping it gets large enough to read if you click on it.

You might try copying that link I originally posted and pasting it into your browser...maybe that would work? Is anyone else having problems w/the link?
