I take it that rabbits in your area do not do so well in the summer if they are outside in the heat. When I tried to raise rabbits for meat I had all sorts of problems in summer heat here.

I have to start from scratch. Besides my last run with chickens was experimental and this time a potential meat shortage means doing things the semi-commercial way. After I move I can possibly get back a lot of my genetics because I am in contact with the people I sold birds to. The guy...

The world some how got turned upside down, I can't sell my house because of it (no buyers) and a meat shortage is about to hit us... so might as well start raising meat birds to kill time until the chaos has ended... so I am back!

@igorsMistress I have an FNN that looks exactly like your cockerel but he went Rogue and semi feral, he won't go back into the coop and roosts in the trees even though he isn't very large yet. The day after he got out of the brooder he just took off to the back the property. he will come...

Aint that the truth... having that problem with chickens I am listing on Craigslist, people want to see pictures of chickens who either run around a lot or hide in the shrubs.

Those 3/4 Dorkings have a really nice Silver Duckwing pattern. You could probably get away with breeding and calling them Silver Grey Dorkings. According to the Chicken Calculator 1 in 8 should have that pattern, and from the 30 or so I hatched out none of the female came out that nice...

I blew up all my hot wheels as a pre-teen and young teen, made war and car accident scenes with them as soon as I was old enough to play with fire.

I forgot to add that they were all the same size at hatch or close to it. This is 2 weeks in. I am going to take more pictures and try to guess/remember which chick is what. None of my NN's in my hatch survived. I am actually getting 3 eggs a day after rotating in new girls but the Rooster...

2 weeks old, Dominique chick vs MNN (Naked Neck x Red Ranger) x (Dorking x Red Ranger) The White one is a male because that particular cross just happened to be Red Sex Links. The Females are not quite as big. ----------- My Brain is mush from lack of sleep I may have my MNN's and FNN's...

Been building a new coop with my free time and barely spending time on BYC. I had to catch up on those new chicks. At 2 weeks old I am finding some of the eggs that were labeled MNN and FNN are growing a bit faster than the others. Both of their parents were half Red Ranger so there should be...

Hi Don

I never used a recipe for mine, I just add a can of Mandarin Oranges, Soy Sauce, minced hot peppers, Minced Garlic, grated ginger, Lemon Juice, Lime Juice, Sesame Oil, and chinese five spice. I do not measure anything i just wing it. Not sure if that counts as Orange chicken since I...

I bread mine with Corn Starch

Some of my best Cockerels were turned into Orange Chicken over Rice or Lo Mien

Even with $100 off Brinsea costs too much. Although if I did win that I would get their brooder plate since i think that is either $100 or less. Their Incubators which I heard are great just aren't worth the price considering the low capacity per price.

I have so many chickens coming in and out (or killed by dogs) that every spring is different. Last week I was getting about between 6 and 12 eggs a day then poof a bunch of Pullets came of age and today I got 20... If it was spring with the chickens I have now I would be getting 30. Some...

I started dating every egg when I collect them, I even keep pencils in the coops but thats more to write down who laid the egg because I can just write the date on them when I get inside if I forget to when Collecting. I used to guess how old an egg was when I gave them away and people would...

Do you write down the date they need to go into lockdown right on the egg?

My female cat is Catch and Release, she won't even claw her catch. Back when I was foolish enough to have a cat door she was bringing in her catch and I would have to wait for the male to come home to catch and kill what she caught. I believe she wanted to start her own zoo. Unfortunately...

Thats my Favorite Breed! stray mutt cats make the best mousers.
