Hot Chicks - The Chicken Thread

[TomC]

Gonna try keepin the layers through the winter for a change...More time now since retired and I can keep em fed and watered and get the eggs before they freeze. Put in heated waterers and a heat light to add some heat and keep the hours up. Seems to be working out...The pheasants are just plain dumb in captivity and don't really care what season it is. I had a couple escape that actually came back after the first big snow. Otherwise, they just tend to thrive regardless.

Butchered a Tom turkey on the weekend for a niece, it was the middle sized one and weighed 28lbs dressed. Man the feathers came out great with so few pins. The other 2 Toms are going to be the breeding stock with our three hens.

One of the new hens that has only been laying for a month went clucky yesterday. Stupid bird.
