Save up a few and I'll do it for you. The incubator is running all the time, so what's a few more eggs. BTW, I work in Acworth.

Because I've been too busy to check in regularly. Processing, incubating, brooding, moving tractors, and it's mowing season. Planting food plots. Broody ducks are cutting into my egg money. I hope they hatch them out. I'd rather them raise them. I don't know if I mentioned it earlier, but the...

I had that same problem with a black cochin rooster. a majority of the chicks were coming out with black feathered feet.

I got the last of the Cornish X finished this weekend. 200 pounds of pastured poultry in the freezer, plus assorted necks, livers and feet. With a little tweaking to the system I was able to process 2 birds every 30 minutes working alone. When I got finished, I was like "I need more birds!"

OK @Flowerbh , here's a pic of some of my chickens! We processed 30 of the Cornish cross this weekend. They were 8 weeks old. Cockerels were around 6.5 lbs live weight and pullets were 5.5 lbs. Average dressed weight for the lot was 4.7 lbs.

We're planning on doing ours on Memorial day weekend if you want to come up and watch.:pop But if you're interested in trying to breed your own, here's pretty good thread on this guys venture...

You're not feeding them cornish X right. When I let mine go for 3 months their the size of a turkey! 8 weeks is all it takes.

I've broken them before by soaking their rear end in cool water. They don't like it, but it seemed to work.

The 4 ducks that I hatched out for Easter are all drakes. What are the odds? But on the bright side, I sold one today to someone looking for a young drake. On another note, I bought an electric net fence to put around the cornish X tractors. If it prevents the possums from killing 15 birds then...

I corner him in the pen and slide a sock over his head. While he's wondering what's going on I tie his legs together. Pick him up and place him one of those big round totes and tie the top together. Put the tote in a wagon and roll him down to the processing area. If you want to come help this...

I'm good with it. Seems like we're more spread out around the state this year.

One the topic of killing cones, I've made several sizes out of sheet metal and just about always someone gets cut on the edges. Even though I folded it over, filed and sanded the edges. Unless you can get something thicker than what they sell at HD or Lowes, it's going to be flimsy. I bought...

I think that little baby goats are like little human babies. They start out cute and then grow into teenagers.

I think @GAMarans may still have some. I'll get in touch with her and see.

I've never had Cortunix go broody. Bob whites do. Some people online say that they've had Cortunix to go broody. So, if you give them a nest they might.

I'm glad that she's working out for you. I've got 4 that are about 6-7 weeks old now and will be hatching more this summer if anyone else is interested in some.

Which Jack? I don't have Dom's

I don't know nothin bout birth no goat babies!:lau But Black cat had her babies today. First clue was the bloody butt marks on the carport floor. Then I heard the kittens under the lawnmower. What luck! No grass cutting til they move.
