Are meat chickens really that frail? They seem to be keeling over all over the place.

These are cornish x's, in my experience, they are very sensitive to temp extreme's. Not surprisingly, since they are bred for the commercial operations. I've been lobbying for rangers, so we'll see if I can convince the wife.

We have 12 left out of an order of 57. Such are the chances you take raising your own. 35 new chicks coming in two weeks. No worries.

They rocked it, running their record to 6-2. Good, fun-loving, even-keeled kids.

Sorry to hear about your dead meaties, FJ. It sure has been hot and humid lately.

Will your new birds be rangers?

Thanks FJ! :) We've just been really busy around the homestead and I've been working extra hours at work to help cover vacations. But, like you, we FINALLY got our garden in!!
