I have a small hatchery. I hatch out and sell about 1200 Bourbon Red turkey poults every year.
I want to breed a broiler type chicken.
I am going to try a Cornish cross.
I have red laced Cornish and white Plymouth Rock pullets and cockerels that I am going to breed next year. Has anyone out there tried this and do you have any info for me?
Also I breed Sicilian Buttercups. I have a problem with them soiling the eggs with feces. Anyone else had this problem. I have raised many breeds of chickens and have never had eggs this dirty. I suspect there is one girl with a problem.
How great to find this forum!
