We typically do layers and broilers once a year. Our layers ar a combo of Whyandotts and the broilers are red Rangers. I would like a dual purpose bird replacing 5-10 layers a year What is a good breed for this?

So last year we raised our first turkey a big breasted bronze. We got him in March, processed him in July/Aug and he came in at 33 pounds. In our opinion he grew too fast and we got him too soon Fast forward to now, we bought 6 heritage turkeys in June. Not doing our due diligence we didn't...

We currently have 5 silver laced Wyandottes and would like to get more. We are not stuck on the silvers as other colors might be cool. We would like to get them as local to ohio as we can. Looking for spring deliveries.

We had 10 red rangers. We lost 2 to a fox and process all but the two hens. The hens are good layers, one egg a day, and very docile birds. The Roos at 12 weeks dressed out to 7 pounds and taste great. We had no leg issues other than one hen limps but seems ok as she is almost a year old.

We are trying to catch the turtle

We will still give them a good home these will just be our last ducks.

Well we lost a Rouen the other day to what we assume was a snapping turtle. Just disappeared. After owning ducks we realized they are fun to watch but what a pain to own. The are loud and crap everywhere. We will let these live out their days but these will be the last ducks we ever own. You...

raised them ourselves

We bought these as broilers but love the hens. We have 3 hens and 6 Roos. We plan to keep one roo and butcher the other 5. We also have 6 SLW hens which we dislike so they will become meat birds also. Any idea what these guys are?

These bird suck. So skiddish and unfriendly. We are butchering ours and keeping our RIR broilers.
