Yes I would love to. Working on the video now.

Delaware and white rock will probably be a great combo, I do agree. I have had pretty good luck with mixing DEB with barred rock. Hoping to no longer have to purchase Cornish cross every year, we will see. Next year will be the true test.

@@JerseyBirdHS The combo that can feed itself on bugs in the yard and grass, bringing down costs for a slightly longer grow out time.

Yes longer grow out is an easy trade for the cost of feed these days 😅 I added up all the feed for the 50 Cornish we processed this summer and is was A LOT

I wanted to add to this discussion. I bought White Rock chicks to grow as broilers. Just acquired one Delaware hen from Meyer for breeding. I'm planning to put a White-Rock rooster with the Delaware hen to raise as broilers and replace some layer chickens. Also have a NH Red Rooster as options for sex-links.. Buying Ranger chicks gets expensive, but they really grow out nice in 12-14 weeks (Rainbow Ranger is 2-3 weeks faster). *My poultry experience is less than one year and my first attempt/experience hatching chicks.

​@@heavymechanic2 I also wonder, after looking at Myer's photos, if a Delaware Rooster over a Gold Laced Wyandotte, might be the ticket? It looks like, in the photo, that the Wyandotte has substantial breast meat, while the Delaware has large legs and thighs.

I too like white rocks. I agree I think you will have good results with that combo.

Oh my gosh you will not regret it. They are amazing. Next time y’all get a rotisserie chicken make bone broth out of the carcass 👩🏻‍🍳Amazing

She’s so nice ❤️ I hope you get goats someday!

I’ve had fairly good rates with them. I’d say probably 80-90%. We had a power outage in the middle of the incubation last time so they could have very well been affected by that. So I would say under normal circumstances, probably around 100%.

I have baked with both electric and gas ovens and with my current gas oven I have found a slightly higher temp helps get the nice golden browning on the top of the loaf. It’s something I specifically do when baking, and most of the time I just do it with bread.

The Delawares originally came from Murray McMurray hatchery and then they have been bred to out existing barred rock chickens. Our largest processed chicken this year ( so out of 50 chickens that were processed here) was a Delaware roo.

I love family heirlooms too ❤️ and quilting is part of our culture! I think a lot of people forget the way things used to be built to last. I became so tired of buying things that fell apart after a year that I started sewing lol

@@JerseyBirdHS I love the way you think! 🥰

@duboislegacyfarm You too!! It’s so nice having a fellow TH-cam content creator friend.

@@JerseyBirdHS Agree. I really appreciate your friendship as well. 🥰❤️

Me too lol means everyone is happy

I’ve been feeding them Manni Pro select for rabbits, I believe it’s 18% protein, comes in 50lb bags and is available at tractor supply! I have really been loving the rabbits, they are so nice and peaceful. I haven’t processed any so can’t speak for that side of things, but everyone I’ve talked to says it easier than chickens! Thank you so much for watching, I really appreciate you! ❤️

You're welcome. I'm about to show my husband the video.

Yes and they are Very good layers. The people I give eggs to always comment on how bright blue they are.

I do not have a video on it, but I will try it out and make a video about it the next time I make bread (so soon, lol!) thanks

@@JerseyBirdHS Thank You! I understand it's tricky and wonder if it's worth it. Can't wait to learn. Be blessed!

Your comment made my day ❤️ thank you ☺️

Not yet but I do hope to someday!

Every hatch I sit there and watch them hatch out, you speak the absolute truth, it really never gets old. ❤️🙏

@@JerseyBirdHS I wonder if that is where the idea of wrapping and opening gifts came from… because it’s like little wrapped gifts from God. I love it. ❤️🥰🐣

So true!! ❤️

Thanksgiving came early this year lol

thank you <3

In the video I make two 1.5 pound loaves, but I do say that you can definitely make 3 loaves of bread, yes.
