Do you vaccinate your rangers. Had a huge problem last year not vaccinating and then having to deal with cocsidious. Had to put on medicated feed anyway.

I prefer hens, because roosters will just end up fighting all the time!

Do you prefer roosters over hens or vise versa and why? We have a hatchery local to us in Lancaster County, PA.

We have never raised cornish crosses though. We also go past 14 weeks. We let our birds free range also and yes the meat is wonderful. Loving your site & socials, we have been thinking about pigs, but haven’t taken the leap yet. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
