When I do Cornish cross I keep food and water with them 24/7 I don’t do the 12 on 12 off or whatever it is. Leave the food and water 24/7 it’ll be easier on you. They rarely eat at night anyway. I’ve done them both ways still raised em to 10 weeks either way. A lot of people will say oh this...

This is the star gazer got home today it was under heat plate flat got it up it was gasping noticed its nostrils were clogged with black mucus looking stuff. Got that out and it smelled like rot. You can smell it a foot away. Any idea what this is.

update on poults. Gave star gazer poultry cell it’s doing great. The little crippled one was up walking good got up this morning legs splayed again acting lethargic gave it a shot of poultry cell and nutridrench. Not very hopeful kind of a last ditch effort. Losing just one outta 17 pretty good...

Just got 15 in from porters this one has the leg issue and one’s starting to look like its star gazing. Kinda has snake neck I gave it some poultry cell it’s acting a little better but kinda more lethargic than any of the others.

Only thing I do different with any of my waterfowl eggs is day 10 I start opening in the incubator for atleast 30 minutes everyday misting the eggs with water making sure they’re wet and recovering. I live in south Alabama and I only dry incubate all my eggs. My humidity ranges anywhere from...

She gets free choice oyster shell and 22% Tucker milling show flock feed. Plus she’s free range to eat grass and whatever else she finds.

My embden goose started laying 2 weeks ago. She laid 3 hard shell eggs then only soft shell after that. Maybe 3 or 4 soft eggs. She hasn’t laid an egg at all in 3 days and she seems to wanna sit around a lot more than she used to. I walked out to her today when she got up it looked like maybe a...

No we just sell whole birds and livers,hearts,gizzards.

If you see the coyotes why don’t you shoot them? Just asking.

I raise and sell meat birds I do all my processing under a metal carport on stainless tables. I keep everything wiped down and in order while processing. Really not a lot to it just keep things clean like you would for your own use. I used to put the stickers on the birds and all that I don’t...

Make sure you close the bags in the fridge not sealed but don’t leave em wide open on top. The chicken will start drying out on the open end.

My little boy he’s 10 he loves ducks. We had a mixed group a while back fenced yard and they were penned up. 2 dogs came while we were away and killed them all, then a mcmurray hatchery book came a week or so later and he went to reading and looking at different types and likes the appleyard, so...

I’m down in Mobile but have a farm right outside of Greenville Al. We’ve owned several different types of ducks but never Muscovys. Right now we have silver appleyard a drake and 5 hens and they have been the most laid back,calm,quietest ducks we’ve ever owned. I have 4 in the brooder right now...

I raise my Cornish on 27% game bird starter for 6 weeks and process. They’re fed 24/7 nonstop works out a lot better than changing feed and all that mess. I have 40 I’m processing Friday weighed 7 yesterday average weight will be 5-6 lbs processed weight.

Usually with a dog it’s the inside that get crushed from the bite broken ribs punctured lungs and guts. The chicken will act fine because in the bird world showing weakness gets you attacked by the flock to protect the flock. Watch him a few days for swelling and blackness around the bald areas...

Have you changed their food or using cheap food? I went cheap and got the producer pride 16% tractor supply stuff. Almost all mine stopped laying. Put mine on 22% tucker milling show flock birds look great get 7 eggs a day from 8 hens.

That will work out then I was trying to produce more than one variety I was hoping I wouldn’t have to breed these raise the poults and rebreed. 👍
