Instead
of Duck Tape, I use "Band-Aid Extra Large Tough-Strips".
They are the tan colored fabric type and they blend well with
the feather color of my Red Sex Links.
Also, the girls
that are looking so rough have a 15 hens to 1 rooster ratio.
We have not started
breeding yet. We are in the process of gathering material to
build a pallet house to use as brooding quarters on one side
and the other side will be the permanent living quarters for
our meat bird breeding experiment. The Dels just came into lay
2 weeks ago. This week, we will be getting our new chicks...
30 Golden Comets & 30 California Whites for a new laying
flock and then 15 Indian Game which will be raised to cross
with the Delawares to hopefully produce a great foraging meat
bird with ample meat. Just too unhappy with raising the typical
meat type birds that lay around, in their poop, with their head
in the feed bucket. Even though we move their pen daily, they
still create a good amount of mess. A bit un-appetizing, if
you know what I mean.
