I just looked up this chicken... It says they are very tasty 😋. It's a meat chicken from Breese France. I would love to get some of them in my flock. I don't think I would want to feed them out like they do over there. Here is an interesting article...
You also don't need to give them anything else to eat until they are older. Blend the chick starter into a very fine crumble. Just keep the food filled and with them all the time in the cage so they can eat anytime they want. Also keep the water filled all the time. Northern bobs drink a lot of...
Can you give insight to how old they are, if you hatched them, what your feeding them, a picture of your brooder? Because it could be a number of things. We raise Northern Bobwhites. What kind are you raising?
I have buff Orpington chicks about 3 or 4 weeks old. I picked them up from TSC so I'm not exactly sure of their age. I noticed this one has a white dot on its ear and I have never noticed that on any of our Orpington chicks before. Non of the other ones have that white dot. Is this normal?

Hi.. it's good to see you choose to raise your own chickens. We raise them inside our barn in a small area when they are day olds and make the area larger as they grow. We raised them for my daughter for her fair project. Just like day old chicks they need heat. So that stays the same. I'll...
Oh my.. I'm sorry I don't have an answer. But I need to follow in case it happens to us. We've hatched a lot of eggs and I never saw this problem. So I'm very intrigued. I hope you find a solution.
This is an old thread, so I'm not sure if you're still interested. But.... I really like Ridgeway Hatchery in LaRue. We have gone there a couple times to pick up day old buff Orpingtons. First time I got straight run, half were cockerels. Second time I got 20 pullets. All of them were pullets...
I just came across this thread. If you're interested in raising or even just keeping northern Bobwhite quail then you will need to get ahold of ODNR. They will come to your house and look at your set up. Then you can either get a propagation license or a commercial license. I only have heard...
