I think that it is tilapia that feed on pig manure. That was shown on the evening news some years ago. Tilapia ponds down hill from large pig barns. Manure flowing down hill to feed the fish.

WG is White Giant, R is for Rock, It was White Giant x White Rock back when cornish cross was still taking a hold on the meat bird industry. Delaware x New Hampshire = Indian River birds for meat back some years ago. Another lettering is AG for American Game. I G is for Indrio Gigante. I so...

Understood loud and clear. I love animals but meat chickens are for meat and layers are for eggs and eventually need to be used as meat. Waste not want not. I just hate the idea that they often times are thought of as something as disposable as a paper towel.

They are using up the hens life in the name of feed efficiency. A hen only has so many eggs to lay the day they are hatch. They are being bred to be almost like a disposable. Use them up quick and send the off to the soup kitchen. Now I've heard that a lot of spent leghorns are fed to gators on...

I don't think you can really force it as much as have a theory and hope for the best. American Bresse may not offer lot or it may be a missing piece of the genetic puzzle. Time will tell. I sure like what I see in my WG roos and the gentleness in the WG hens. Good genes there to work with. I...

One kind of trait that I never want to develop is the ones that CxR and high production egg layers have. That is they have short lives. Egg layers so prone to cancers and meat birds to heart attacks. I lost on of my CxR hens last night. Found her dead in the coop this morning. I still have 10 to...

He keeps good records. It's not a hap hazard hobby for him. I have CxR hens and Bresse roos now along with white giant roos and hen. I want to AI the big CxR roo onto some WG hens.... just maybe.

When two meat crosses are crossed then the genes get scrambled enough that there will be many options to pursue until a new breed can be developed. It does take several generations to get them to breed true. Every breed listed in hatchery catalogs and websites at one time was the results of a...

My black Sexlink Roo x RIR hens gave me very uniform rooster chicks. All looked like their dad. Not sure of the pullets as we only had about 10 to hatch and most were roos. The cross is actually 3/4 RIR and 1/4 Barred Rock. That may account for the peas in a pod look. They all grew faster than...

Watch what this guy is doing. This is what you asked about. This is week 7 of fast growing meat bird x American Bresse. This is one of several youtube videos on this cross. Get well soon and dream on. This is not really 2 slower growers. It is one fast and one slow. I have crossed a Black Sex...
