Here's a video from this morning of the Black Boilers - they are only pinned here for a few days as the reacclimate to the new barn area for them - I just put them there last night. otherwise, they've been eating the same thing everyone else has been - and free ranging on plenty of land...

The White Heritage is the group that is just fantastic from http://www.sandgpoultry.com/heritagewhite.html I will order my next group of chicks from them too - I ordered 25, they sent 29, all lived. I feed all my boilers the same = free range, along with cracked corn, chicken starter...

That's a nice growth rate on the Red Ranger but that chick doesn't look half as nice as the ones that I got from Cackle - they were very nice. I'm even more impressed with the white heritage breed that I got from http://www.sandgpoultry.com/ but the Black Broilers that I got from Ideal do not...

Hi everyone, I'm needing some community feedback to see if I got a bad batch of Black Broilers or if they are just a skinnier meat bird. I've raised Cornish Rocks but am now focusing on heritage breeds who can reproduce naturally. I love the Red Ranger (from Cackle hatchery), LOVE my white...

My chickens and ducks 'house' fine together. Now - during the day, they are all outside free ranging and go their separate ways but at night - they all come in and house together. I even have one Muscovy who roosts with the chickens! I primarily have Muscovy's but have 3 Blue Sweds. I must...

Hey GoinQuakers - I do use my gals - have three sitting on over a dozen each at the moment, but there are people who want to hatch out their own. Mine lay so many eggs that I wanted to try the incubator because I couldn't safely have the gals hatch out anymore. I have two people who, at...

There is this method on BYC https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/incubating-and-hatching-muscovy-eggs but has anyone tried it with success? Connie

Hello Friends - There are three groups of us trying to hatch out Muscovy duck eggs - the eggs are fertile but never make it all the way. Does anyone have a method that works? This must be for Muscovy's as the other ducks (Mallards and such) are different and don't count. I hope so! Any and...

I have Blue, Black and Brown Muscovy's laying right now - there wont be many as half the gals (2 of 4) have gone broody! These are spectacular ducks to have - quite with great personalities and are very robust (delicious too as are the eggs). I am offering the eggs at $2.50 each or $20 per...

Here is an update video on my man eating ginormous chicks - they are doing very well - and we're starting week #7 They are getting fed once per day now - 3 cups chick starter - 1 cup mixed scratch - 1 cup laying pellets - that's it!

I have 3 hens and one rooster. They are in a fairly good sized pen together. Two of the gals got broody and are hatching out a mess of chicks - both theirs and others. This group does NOT like to be separated! Once the chicks hatch - should I remove the rooster?

One dozen SOLD - I have one dozen left! Connie

sorry about leaving that bit out - I have 8. 6 roosters, 2 hens. No more than 7 cups in all right now per day - and they are on maybe .25 acres of land....or less for free ranging. Nice video - mine started pecking at each other early on - I had them in a pretty large outside cage 6 x 8 and...

At 4 weeks, I moved them into an outdoor pen (concrete floor) and started feeding them 2 cups of chick starter with 1 cup of layer pellets and 1 cup of some kind of scratch - twice per day (before that only chick starter 3 x per day, and they were in a smaller enclosure. At 5 weeks I moved them...

I was thinking this again both last night and this morning. Yesterday evening I decided to feed them more anticipating they only had two weeks left to be fattened up before heart attacks, broken legs, and all the other things I continue to read. They didn't even get up for the food - they were...

Well, except for the dna stuff - what you're telling me is what I keep hearing. I don't want any crazy challenge and I don't want to waste meat. I have read a lot of the posts here on the subject - the consequences sound horrifying. The genetics are just unreal - and specialized - thanks for...

you know - I am beginning to wonder if I don't have Cornish Rocks. I bought these from Tractor Supply and I hear they are notorious for mislabeling birds. I'm pretty sure any white boiler that comes in is called a Cornish Rock - maybe I have one of the breeder groups who - along with the other...
