I just put ALL the broodies (15 so far) in a cool down pen. I DO NOT want to try balut!!!!

Finally got a hanging scale. Here in the next few days I will select the two midget whites that will be used for breeding. Ive got one Tom that I'm hoping is in the 12 to 13 lb range.

It's not a no no! You are right, it is a good idea. I encourage other people to do it. But I don't have anywhere far enough away from the other birds for it to do any good. Sometimes I will keep new birds penned up separately, to acclimate, but there is still only ever wire separating them.

If there is any question of him looking sick or having nasties, then I just won't buy him.


I do it 100% of the time... Make a double wire fence even keeping them 15 feet apart helps. most viruses travel through touch or touching poop..

I know you can't see a virus!.. It does not need to be Fort Knox...

Alright, I missed the poultry forums. I'm doing my last spring hatch(for now, unless broodies), and I'm thinking about further modifications to my 1202.
