We are trying Dark Cornish this summer for the first time. Our chicks arrived on April 13th and we plan to butcher this Saturday. They have been fed Flock Raiser and free range all day. I have high hopes for the meat on these birds...they look great!
Thanks, but I did contact them....MANY times.... Initially, they said they were going to make it right, but since then I can't get anyone to respond to my e-mails or phone message. I hope you have better luck getting them to respond to you!
Yesterday, my husband was out behind our property in the woods and found bits and pieces of one of our toms. Although I saw a coyote out back the other day, we are not positive it was the coyote that did this.....Here's the facts: Nacho was a year old tom - average size, the predator had to...
I had the same experience with Cackle. My 15 chicks arrived late and were really, really stressed. I lost 5. I have NEVER had that high of a mortality rate. This was in April and Cackle still has done nothing to make this right.
I would LOVE to know how you received excellent customer service from Cackle? I ordered 15 Welsummer chicks this past April. They arrived late and appeared VERY stressed from the trip. I contacted Cackle right away via e-mail because their phone line is almost always busy. They told me to...
I have been using a Hovabator as my incubator and a homemade bator for my hatcher. I have had several chicks like your largest dead one. I have hatched six successfully. I am not of much help on why this happens since I have no idea, but I wanted you to know that you are not alone!
I am a newbie at attempting to hatch out my turkeys eggs. I have finally figured out the candling, but I am completly frustrated with hatching. Two turkey eggs went over their hatch dates by more than 24 hours, so I opened up the air cell end and they were still alive. One died and now it...
I am a newbie and I have been doing fine with candling until now... I just cracked open (the large end) about 7 eggs from my incubator that were duds. The final one that I cracked has a chick in it that is squirming all around....ARGH! Now, I didn't puncture the membrane at all...I just...
One of our turkey eggs pipped this morning, but since then nothing more than an occasional movement at the pip site......How long is this supposed to take???
Hi!
I need to move some turkey eggs out of the incubator and into the hatcher today. What I need to know is should I plug in the fan or not....
Thanks!!!!
THANKS for replying! Since I didn't hear back from anyone right away, I made an executive decision and ordered dark cornish.....I hope it was the right decision!!!! Yikes! I hate having to learn the hard way......
Thanks again!
