TO GET PROPERLY LAID

How about the weather in Pa. ?

I bet the victim was unarmed.

WHAT COUNTRY AM I IN???

sorry, channeling that goldman idjit...

my people were here before the founding fathers, perfesser.

I'm currently planted in Kansas.

sorry. I never pay attention I looked at yer profile and didnt see much so I just assumed Canada.

I try not invoke the name of that member . I did a few days ago and he sent me a PM. I didnt want to become his next stalking victim.

s'ok.

I am the great satan.

he will leave us alone...

(plus, I got Amish whiskers)

I got a horse trough, and no sheep.

not going to answer me about the weather ?

seriously though, am I best to start them from baby chooks, or can I get some that are ready to go.

like used car chickens...

(and whoever voted me down won't be getting a christmas card from the satan's this year...)

chicks need a shallow water container that they wont drown in.

Do people freak out in Kansas?

my buddy raises quail.

they will fight each other to drown in a half inch of water...

"Do people freak out in Kansas? "





which people?

Cant pull anything over you mensa mensches

They make these pottery watering apparati. You can fill em up with like a gallon and they only let about an inch of water in and they are so designed that the chicks cant get up on the rim to drown themselves (or more routinely , to shot into their own drinking water)

We always use a medication drip into the water for about the first several weeks but try to get em off as they start growing real feathers. The more they rely on their own immune system the better.

why can't I get already grown chickens?

something I won't have to raise through their troubled teens and stuff...

and I think we have a watering apparatus of some sort. galvanized tin if I remember correctly.

this is a zero budget operation.

the anti-Tyson...

You can, but they will cost you muchly more (like 25 bucks a piece or more for rarer or better laying breeds). Chicks or partially grown will only cost like 3.50 to 7 bucks for partially raised birds. I dont like someone else raising em because I have my own way of keeping them healthy . A sick chicken is a waste of money (coccidiosis and some other diseases can be endemic in shipped birds. Chicks will just die on you in a week and the seller usually guarantees em, not so with adult birds)


Heres a pic of a POLISH ROOSTER. This guy is a spitting image of our own Jerry Lee.

thats how we usually get them. ex egg production factory farm. after about year 3 or 4 egg production slows down. The egg farmers sell the oldest hens and replace them with new stock. The chooks have a year or two of good domestic egg production in them still.
You can buy "pullets" here. 12 month old hens from some local farmers here. it just depends on whos got them at the time you are looking to buy. Suggest you ask at the farm supply store.

Ima go see what kind Atwoods has for sale as chicks, and if they got feathers...

my pen will be ready in a week or so, and I should get an influx of cash by then.

workin' on brakes tomorrow...

all the henopausal chickens go to the "soup factory"

how long will they live? (assuming they avoid the frying pan)

and how long will they keep laying?
