    Questions from a first-timer (Freedom Ranger/Kosher King)

    Hi everyone, I'm new here, and we're preparing to start our chicken journey this summer. We're going with meat chickens - likely Freedom Rangers and Kosher Kings - and will have them on pasture as much as possible. A few questions in planning out our adventure: - Timing: Part of our objective...

    Questions about Freedom Ranger breed.

    I’ve been day dreaming about raising meat chickens. And after doing a little research Freedom Rangers sound like a good fit since I’d like a fairly quick time to harvest and the ability to free range but I have some questions and concern. #1. Do they breed true I haven’t been able to find any...

    Red Ranger- Fermented Feed & Fodder Experiment

    We ordered 125 male red ranger chicks from Freedom Ranger Hatchery, Inc and received 128 today (June 18, 2020). ALL alive and well. Chicks were shipped a day earlier than expected- so we did a little moving around of the older chicks. I want to use this thread to document the progress, but...

    Ranger breeding project

    I know I'm not the first person to have this idea, so before I dive in and go full crazy chicken lady (I'm already the crazy goat lady!) I'd love to hear from people who have attempted breeding Rangers before - from whichever proprietary line. What were your goals, what worked or didn't, what's...

    Freedom Ranger Outside Temperatures

    Hello! I’m currently raising Cornish Cross chickens and would like to try out Freedom Rangers for my Fall chickens. I am located in NJ, and I pasture-raise my birds in chicken tractors. My question is, what temperatures can the Freedom Rangers withstand? These would be ready for processing in...

    Local Feed Store Order - Easter Eggers?

    Hi All! A month ago I placed an order at my local feed store for 5 cornish x rock cross meat birds, 3 freedom ranger meat birds, and 2 Ameraucuna Pullets (‘easter eggers’).

    Fast growth rate.

    So looking into meat birds I have obviously come across the ever present cornish cross. Which seem to be a Cornish and Plymouth rock? Not sure if that's right or not. Either way where do the fast growth genes come from? I've seen the multiple different ranger breeds that also have a relatively...

    Is this a red ranger???

    I bought a mix of Jumbo Cornish X and Red Rangers. This one has a quite different color pattern... Is it a red ranger? If not, what is it? Did the feed store get them mixed up or is it just a different colored bird? (One of the pics is a normal red ranger)
