YEEDAWGEEE!! I got my next batch of babie chicks this morning!!

[greenthumb89]

just thought i would tell you that the cornish cross will probably not live long enough to lay eggs...they are genetically meant to grow fast, really fast and have health problems because of it and dont usually live to egg laying stage

WOW Thanks for that advice greenthumb! I had no idea.

Well so much for turnin ole Chicken Bob loose to have a little fun with a couple of them!

How old should they be for putting in the freezer?

 

[OPIE]

Ok Sarah, photobucket, I will look into that. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks, that is funny, who di you order yours from and did they all come through ok?

 

[the1much]

i ordered 100 from ideal, all but 1 was fine.. 1 was a little runt that got trampled.

 

[OPIE]

Man great to hear that evrything went Ok. With that big of an order losing 1 is good. Did they send you any extras?

 

[the1much]

I ordered 100 for Meyer Hatchery and they sent 105. All 105 showed up spry and healthy. Out of the 70 that stayed at our house, we have lost 3. Not bad.

Glad you got your birds. Also glad your PO called early.
