It sounds like jersey giants and Brahmas may be the way to go. Both can exceed 10 pounds and at least from what I have seen, are pretty smart. I two of each and both my Brahmas are goofballs and super friendly. My giants are also friendly but just seem a little more wary and seem to have a bit...

Definitely a beautiful breed! How would you house them? They probably can’t be free ranged well so a really large run is what will be used right?

Well that is an... interesting breed. I have never heard of them but now I have got to look into them. Good choice!

Looking like a pullet to me

Still better than I would do. I think I would end up keeping 5+ 🤣

Sorry, I worded that weird. I meant they aren’t charging you double (as in the first that was messed up and then the one that will be coming). I wasn’t suggesting that you do that, just that I could see that possibility being the reason you weren’t given a discount

They are replacing them for free though right? At least to me, I can kinda see why they didn’t. You did get over 20 chicks for free and even if you sold them for $1 each, that is still a pretty big discount off of 4 (I am not making that up right?) chicks. I am obviously biased as I that is...

The grass would be cut in no time

I started getting mine to use it at 4 weeks old. What I did was I took out there chick waterer and sat down next to it as they liked jumping all over me. Then I started to ‘peck’ at them with my fingers. Then the little droplets of water would sit on that little rim under it and then when they...

My 6 chicks turned 6 weeks old today and just wanted to see what everyone’s thoughts are on their sex. I have 2 brahmas, 2 jerseys giants (only one pictures due to the other looking almost undeniably female), a barred rock, and a buff Orpington. At least to me all are looking like pullets except...

I personally have never seen anything above 24% for meat birds. I am guessing it was for game birds as their feeds seem to range between 26-30% from what I have seen

Wow he is a gorgeous rooster! I hope it is nothing serious and he gets better soon!

Definitely be ready! I ordered my chicks from them and they came a day before they were supposed to hatch! They arrived within 10 hours of being shipped and were very healthy. All 6 are still doing amazing at 6 weeks old!

To be fair, I was thinking from the stance of living in PA where it feels like it rains nonstop. I dug a big hole in my backyard that went from 0 water to at least 200-300 gallons of water 3 feet deep in less than 2 days. And I checked on it 3 days after it stopped raining so it could have been...

I would use a 300 gallon stock tank with the drain sealed with aquarium silicone. Dig a hole two feet deeper and a foot wider (so 6 inches all around). Fill the bottom 2 feet with pea gravel but make sure the rim out the stock tank will be about an inch above the ground and level it out. Place...
