Dear Poultry Enthusiast,<br />

We wish you all the very best for 2012. We remain a Canadian family owned business entering into our 26th season. All<br />

of our staff strives to deliver the quality and service on which we have built our reputation.<br />

Those of you who have been dealing with us for a number of years will recall our commitment to apply the highest standards<br />

of health and safety monitoring to our Breeders and <strong>Hatchery</strong>; as part of this commitment we carry out regular testing of our<br />

breeders and hatchery. In late 2010, the environment for the White layer breeders and the Sex-sal-link browns tested positive for<br />

S.E. In keeping with our commitment to you, the sad decision was made to de-populate the breeders from that entire facility, leaving<br />

us without a supply of these hatching eggs. Sadly, this facility also housed our pure-line Broad Breasted Bronze turkeys, spelling an<br />

end to a line going back several decades.<br />

In March 2011, the pure-line Dual Purpose breeders that were located on a breeder farm several hundred kilometers away,<br />

also tested positive! In keeping with our commitment, we also depopulated these decades’ old pure-lines.<br />

The result of the loss of our breeders was an acute shortage of hatching eggs in 2011 and while we managed to replace some of<br />

the supply, it was not without problems. We sincerely apologize to those of you inconvenienced by the delays and shortages.<br />

Then there was the rotating mail strikes and lock-out at <strong>Canada</strong> Post! A big thank you goes out to everyone who ran all<br />

over the country rescuing birds from post offices throughout Western <strong>Canada</strong>.<br />

Needless to say, we are firmly committed to maintaining high disease prevention and surveillance standards. We have<br />

further enhanced our surveillance programme, and continue to have standards that are second to none. You can be assured of<br />

getting healthy, vigorous chicks from us.<br />

On a happier note, our Heritage birds were fantastic this past year. We were happy to send out such a fine selection of<br />

birds, with most of your needs being met. Please read the heritage order page carefully; some breeds are available by the breed<br />

but some are only available in a package. We continue our heightened bio-security measures by hatching and shipping the Heritage<br />

breeds and Pheasants at our second hatchery on Tuesdays, therefore orders for Heritage breeds or Pheasants can not be combined<br />

with other breeds. Sorry no exceptions. Also keep in mind pheasants start laying quite a bit later than domestic fowl.<br />

We will continue to ship our birds by mail, air & with some couriers, helping us to reduce the time your chicks are in transit.<br />

Having your facility pre-warmed & ready for the chicks is essential. Be prepared!<br />

Wishing you a successful growing season.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Altaf Keshwani<br />

OUR GUARANTEE<br />

1. 100% live arrival is guaranteed provided shipment is checked when received and any loss is noted in<br />

a report signed by the transporter or his agent (do not include extras). Notification to be given<br />

within 24 hours.<br />

2. We will credit any *loss occurring within 2 weeks of shipment of day old chicks without<br />

question, providing the loss (livability) report sent with each shipment is returned to us within 3<br />

weeks of shipment. *Loss over 10% of any one breed must be accompanied by a government veterinary<br />

lab report indicating that the loss was a result of poor quality of chicks provided. Do not include<br />

extras. Heritage,AllBreed and Bantam Packages are considered one breed when calculating the 10%.<br />

3. We guarantee 96% accuracy of sexed orders. Unsexed orders are shipped as they come from the<br />

incubator. This generally works out to 50% of each sex; however, the ratio in smaller orders of chicks<br />

often tends to be uneven.<br />

4. We cannot guarantee that all the heritage breeds conform to their breed standards. Nor can we<br />

guarantee the ratio of males to females. Heritage breeds are sold straight run only!<br />

5. In all cases we will only be responsible to the extent of the invoiced price of the chicks or poults to<br />

the original purchaser only. Split orders between customers do not qualify for our guarantee.<br />

In order to provide you with the excellent guarantee we have, we will strive to provide you with healthy<br />

and vigorous birds and get them to you in top condition. These living creatures require proper care<br />

from you as well. We have provided complete details on how to start your birds, and would request<br />

that you follow these recommendations. Failure to provide proper care at your end regrettably cannot<br />

become our responsibility.


KEYS TO BIO-SECURITY<br />

ON YOUR FARM<br />

1. Purchase your chicks from federally registered hatcheries.<br />

2. Have a clean and disinfected facility.<br />

3. Have a dip bath at all entrances to your bird area.<br />

4. Be clean and showered with clean clothes, especially if you<br />

have been off your premises.<br />

5. Do not house baby chicks in the same building as adult birds.<br />

Always attend to the youngest birds moving up to the oldest,<br />

changing coveralls and dipping footwear between. Keep a pair<br />

of boots for poultry barn use only.<br />

6. Know who your visitors are and where they come from. If they<br />

have birds of their own, they should not enter your premises<br />

without having showered and changed.<br />

7. Offer your visitors some disposable coveralls and boots if<br />

they must enter your bird area.<br />

8. If you have a bird that appears sick or dies under unknown<br />

circumstances, submit it personally to a government lab for<br />

testing.<br />

9. Keep your facility clean and have some form of rodent control.<br />

10. Be sure that all equipment, whether new or used, is sanitized<br />

prior to use.<br />

11. Do not purchase adult birds indiscriminately. Responsible<br />

growers will practice good bio-security themselves. Check that<br />

the birds have had vaccinations and that the growers practice<br />

a "closed shop" approach.<br />

Enjoy your birds!<br />

TEMPERATURE!<br />

THERMOMETERS ARE<br />

ESSENTIAL TO DETERMINING<br />

AN ACCURATE TEMPERATURE<br />

IN YOUR BROODER. BE SAFE<br />

AND HAVE ONE.<br />

99% of issues with chicks are temperature<br />

MEASURE THE TEMPERATURE :<br />

a)at chick height<br />

b)furthest from the heat source that the<br />

chicks can reach.<br />

If you think your birds have been chilled in transit,<br />

then get them warming in your house. Get them<br />

thoroughly warm before putting them in the brooder<br />

area. You will be able to tell by their increased noise<br />

& movement when they are ready!! This is where you<br />

can make a real difference to the outcome!<br />

WORDS OF WISDOM!!!!!!!!!!<br />

If you have multiple breeds & some are doing<br />

better or worse than others; you will find there<br />

is a temperature discrepancy.<br />

eg Broilers thriving while the turkeys are<br />

dying--Broilers are hardier than turkeys and<br />

layers. They are more able to maintain body<br />

heat because they are bigger and eat more and<br />

therefore grow faster.<br />

If your day old broilers are dying then your<br />

temperature is WAY TOO LOW!!<br />

PREPARING FOR YOUR CHICKS<br />

PREPARE THE COOP: Your entire chicken coop<br />

including all the equipment must be thoroughly<br />

cleaned, washed, disinfected from floor to ceiling & in<br />

working order. Do not use creosote - based products for<br />

disinfecting- harmful fumes may result. Check for, &<br />

seal off, all draughts, windows, doors, & do general<br />

building repairs, etc. Do not use plastic to seal the area.<br />

It is no substitute for insulation & will cause lack of air<br />

flow & high humidity. A dry hen house greatly reduces<br />

the risk of coccidiosis. Leave yourself enough time for<br />

the area to dry before putting down fresh bedding. A<br />

thin layer of hydrated lime is advisable on dirt floors to<br />

maintain dryness.<br />

BEDDING: Cover the floor area with about 10 cm (4<br />

in) straw or 5 cm (2 in) shavings (not sawdust or<br />

aromatic woods such as cedar). Never use newspaper,<br />

unless mechanically shredded, as it may cause severe<br />

leg problems for turkey poults and broiler chicks.<br />

Unless the bedding gets wet, avoid changing litter<br />

during the growing period. It is better to add litter than<br />

to change it, as this will avoid disturbing mold that may<br />

have formed beneath.<br />

TEMPERATURE: Warm the area for AT LEAST 24-<br />

48 HOURS before the arrival of your chicks. This will<br />

ensure that your bedding is warm and dry and allows<br />

you to accurately MEASURE THE TEMPERATURE<br />

FURTHEST FROM THE HEAT SOURCE DURING<br />

THE COLDEST PART OF THE NIGHT (about 4:00<br />

am) as well as during the day. At the outer edge of the<br />

brooding area the temperature should be no colder than<br />

30ºC (85º F) for chickens or 35ºC-38ºC (95ºF-100ºF) for<br />

Turkeys, Pheasants & Bantam breeds. It is best to heat<br />

the entire room to at least 24 ºC (75ºF) with an<br />

additional room heater. This will allow the heat lights<br />

to warm the chick brooding area more efficiently &<br />

reduce fluctuations in temperature. For larger brooding<br />

areas use more than one thermometer. DO NOT<br />

GUESS THE TEMPERATURE. You may find it helpful<br />

to use a 'Hi-Low' thermometer in your brooding area,<br />

which will record the highest and lowest temperatures<br />

reached. This will allow you to see how cold it is getting<br />

at the coldest part of the night (about 4am). What is<br />

comfortable for you, is most certainly not warm enough<br />

for your chicks! BE PRECISE! If your chicks/poults<br />

crowd together, especially under the heater, they are<br />

too cold. If they are crowding the outer edge, or<br />

gurgling, they are too hot. Chilling results in long term<br />

problems with hearts, legs & growth rate, especially in<br />

broilers and turkeys. The temperature may be reduced<br />

after the initial 1-2 weeks by 3 ºC (5ºF) per week to a<br />

low of 21 ºC(70F)at night.<br />

WHEN YOUR BIRDS ARRIVE: Your birds will be<br />

thirsty. Depending on where you live, they may have<br />

been in transit up to 36 hours. It is important that the<br />

water in the waterers is cooler than the air temperature<br />

to ensure that the chicks do not mistakenly get right<br />

into the water. Being wet will chill the chicks & can lead<br />

to a disastrous pile up. Monitor the birds closely. It<br />

takes 2-3 hours for the birds to adjust to the brooder<br />

house temperature. Meat birds & turkeys will<br />

particularly benefit from antibiotics in their water. In<br />

addition, you may choose to use new 2.5 dozen fiber egg<br />

flats for the chicks to drink from for the first 2-4 hours.<br />

The small cups of the fiber egg flats provide the chicks<br />

a large water area without getting soaked.<br />

FEED AND WATER: Chicks should always have food<br />

and water in front of them and should not crowd for<br />

food. Do not move the feeders and waterers for the first<br />

few days. A chick that cannot reach food will pick at the<br />

litter, resulting in starve-outs and impacted crops<br />

(mortality from this and chilling can be expected at 3 to<br />

6 days). Just before your chicks arrive, set out the<br />

freshly mixed water with antibiotics or preferably<br />

electrolytes. For the FIRST DRINK ONLY, add 1 cup<br />

of sugar per gallon of water to give them a good start.<br />

It is a good idea to dip each bird's beak before releasing<br />

the birds. Waterers should be cleaned daily-be sure to<br />

wash out any residual sugar water. Your birds should<br />

receive commercial starter as recommended.<br />

Use one, 24" feeder for every 25 birds;<br />

& one, 1 gallon fount for every 50 birds.<br />

As the chicks get older you can raise your waterer onto<br />

a platform of wire or slats. This will prevent the chicks<br />

from coming in contact with the damp floor around the<br />

waterer. We recommend 25% protein turkey starter<br />

for turkeys, bantams & pheasants for the first 8 weeks.<br />

Note: TURKEYS are extremely sensitive to chilling &<br />

it is most noticeable in their heart, legs and joints.<br />

Turkeys survive best when initially placed with chicks.<br />

The chicks 'teach' the turkeys to eat and drink, and the<br />

chicks provide body warmth. If you place chicks and<br />

turkeys together, feed them a turkey starter. Separate<br />

the Turkeys from Broilers/Cornish Giants at 3-4 weeks,<br />

so that the chicks can be fed a lower protein ration.<br />

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS WORTH<br />

A POUND OF CURE!<br />

If your birds get chilled at any point treat them<br />

immediately by putting an anti-biotic into their water<br />

for 5-7 days & correct your temperature. If you do not<br />

react quickly to a chilling situation, your losses can be<br />

great and will continue throughout the growing period!


BROILERS/CORNISH ROCK GIANTS: These<br />

fast growing birds are susceptible to leg problems,<br />

heart attacks & ascites (heart valve failure leading<br />

to a fluid filled abdomen). Following our<br />

suggestions will minimize these problems.<br />

1. Keep chicks warm and in a small area to start;<br />

early chilling, overheating, or huddling will cause<br />

continued problems later. Start your chicks at<br />

30ºC (85º F) measured furthest from the heat<br />

source in the brooding area at chick height.<br />

2. Feed 20% chick starter for 3 weeks; then switch<br />

to a 16% pullet grower during the fourth week. A<br />

well-balanced chop may be used from the 6th week<br />

(Page 7 “Making Your Own Feed”). DO NOT<br />

FEED GRAINS WITHOUT THE ADDITION<br />

OF A POULTRY SUPPLEMENT.<br />

3. Ventilation is important from the first day. Add<br />

heat lamps if necessary but do not seal up your<br />

brooder so that air supply is completely cut off.<br />

Increase ventilation as chicks get older. The air<br />

should feel dry, not musty.<br />

4. Keep the bedding 6cm - 10 cm (2"- 4")deep<br />

& dry. Do not replace all the bedding at one time.<br />

Only replace wet patches & add to the rest of the<br />

floor.<br />

5. Restrict feed intake from the 4th day<br />

onwards by providing continuous dim light<br />

(you should just be able to read a newspaper)<br />

while a heat lamp is needed. When a heat lamp is<br />

not needed, change to 4-8 hours of total darkness.<br />

Letting the birds go without feed for extended<br />

periods may result in litter eating and impaction!<br />

6. Once the birds are a week old, you should start<br />

to move the feed and water apart from each other.<br />

Do this a bit at a time until they are at least 4-5<br />

feet apart.<br />

20 feet of brooder guard for 50 birds;<br />

25 feet for 100 birds; 30 feet for 150 birds; &<br />

35 feet for 200 birds.<br />

Use one, 250 watt red heat bulb for every 50 birds;<br />

ensuring that you have a safe and reliable power<br />

source. A 4-bulb brooder with a thermostat is best,<br />

since it can be adjusted to regulate the<br />

temperature.<br />

Turn more bulbs on as required to maintain the<br />

temperature.<br />

Here is a very simple, yet complete set up in<br />

which to start out your baby chicks:<br />

Start your heat lamps 18 inches from the floor.<br />

Use two, 24 inch feeders & one, 1 gallon fount for<br />

every 50 birds. The chicks should not require the<br />

brooder guard after 7 - 10 days. The area allowed<br />

for the chicks should be increased after 2 weeks<br />

by 50% & further after four weeks. Pay special<br />

attention to the TEMPERATURE information<br />

provided in the previous page. Ambient or room<br />

temperature should be maintained at 24’C(75F)<br />

IDENTIFYING PROBLEMS<br />

………Question and Answer time!!<br />

PROBLEM: How do I know if the temperature is right?<br />

SOLUTION: Are your chicks huddling? If your chicks are<br />

cold they will crowd beneath your heat source or just huddle<br />

where they are. They will look lethargic and will not move<br />

around much. If they are hot they will crowd to the outer<br />

edge and spread out their wings. Adjust your heat source<br />

accordingly. As a rule of thumb, start your brooder lamp 45<br />

cm (18 in) from the floor and raise it according to your chicks<br />

age/comfort. You will find you may raise the lamp a few inches<br />

each week. Always measure the temperature at the outer<br />

edge of the area provided for the chicks and at night. Night<br />

time temperatures may be lower in your brooder house than<br />

you think. Have some form of supplementary heating in your<br />

brooding facility. Room temperature should be 24’C (75’F).<br />

PROBLEM: My turkeys have gone down on their knees!<br />

SOLUTION:Temperature, Temperature, Temperature!!!! The<br />

birds have got cold and with turkeys it affects their joints.<br />

Make sure your bedding is both dry and thick. Wet bedding<br />

can also lead to staph infections. Increase temperature! Add<br />

antibiotics to their water for 5-7 days. Correcting the<br />

temperature is not enough-medication is required to minimize<br />

further losses! Cold summer winds & lack of proper nutrition<br />

can cause crippling even at 3 months.<br />

PROBLEM: My chicks were fine and started dying at 4 days<br />

of age all over the place.<br />

SOLUTION: The chicks have most likely starved out. If they<br />

were not warm enough on their first nights they may have<br />

spent too much of the time trying to stay warm and not<br />

enough time finding food and water. Prior to hatching, the<br />

chicks absorb the yolk. This can keep them sustained for up<br />

to 3 days (which is why we can ship them through the mail)<br />

but then they need to be eating & drinking.<br />

PROBLEM: Why have my birds got pasty rear ends?<br />

SOLUTION: This often occurs due to early chilling. It is<br />

important to remove the paste daily with some warm water<br />

and to add Polytonine Super Booster (antibiotics) to their<br />

water for 5-7 days (1 level teaspoon per gallon of water<br />

mixed fresh daily). If it does not clear within a few days, reassess<br />

your environment: it may still be too cold. If you are<br />

growing your birds organically, your temperature control is<br />

even more critical.<br />

PROBLEM: My birds received cocci vaccine but I couldn’t<br />

get any un-medicated feed. Will they die?<br />

SOLUTION: No –it just means that the cocci vaccine has<br />

been wasted & you must continue to feed the medicated feed<br />

as if they had not been vaccinated at all.<br />

Copyright2012<br />

PROBLEM: My birds were really chilled when they arrived.<br />

SOLUTION: If your birds appear chilled from transport,<br />

don't put them directly in the brooder house. Warm them in<br />

their box in your home under a heat lamp until they appear<br />

comfortable/active. Ensure that they have antibiotics or a<br />

multi-vitamin in their water for the first 5 days. Remember,<br />

a brooder at the correct temperature will quickly perk up the<br />

chicks. Watch your temperature closely. Always use a<br />

thermometer. Untreated chilling will lead to poor growth and<br />

continuous high mortality.<br />

PROBLEM: My broilers were doing so well and now I am<br />

finding some dead on their backs.<br />

SOLUTION: They are growing too fast. If they are 3 weeks<br />

old you may change their feed to a poultry grower (this only<br />

applies to broilers.) Place their feeders further apart. Let<br />

them finish it all before adding any more. Heart attacks are<br />

identified by the position of the body on its back. If you can<br />

– reduce the number of hours of light they receive. They will<br />

sleep instead of eating!<br />

PROBLEM: My chicks are doing great, but my turkeys are<br />

dying. Why?<br />

SOLUTION: Turkeys need higher temperature than<br />

chickens - they may appear well, mixed in with the chicks,<br />

but check that they are eating and drinking & that their<br />

crops are full. Also, look for early signs of crippling - this<br />

should set off alarm bells! Watch your temperature closely.<br />

Always use a thermometer!<br />

PROBLEM: My birds are big now & I let them outside-they<br />

were fine for a week & now they are looking droopy.<br />

SOLUTION: Was it a cold windy day? Did they get wet? At<br />

4 weeks the birds can go outside, but gauge the weather on<br />

a daily basis. Keep in mind that warm days can still end up in<br />

chilly nights. If you think your birds got chilled, you are<br />

facing potential losses. Immediately correct the temperature<br />

problem.<br />

NOTE: Our suggestions are based what is most often the<br />

cause of the problems listed. It is possible that there may<br />

be other reasons for the symptoms experienced. If these<br />

suggestions do not solve the problem, call us or consult a<br />

veterinarian.<br />

If you are experiencing difficulties<br />

9 out of 10 problems are<br />

TEMPERATURE RELATED!<br />

Arm your building:<br />

- Use a “High-Low” thermometer<br />

- Add supplemental heat to ensure night<br />

BROILERS/CORNISH ROCK GIANTS<br />

BROILERS (BROI) /CORNISH ROCK GIANTS (BROI): These are the fastest<br />

growing most efficient meat birds available. Their large breasts and thighs give<br />

them a great finish. This hybrid bird is good to butcher at a range of weights. For<br />

best results butcher the hens at 5-6 lbs live weight (6-8 weeks). The Roosters can<br />

be grown to 8-10 lbs. live weight in 10-12 weeks. The rooster puts more of his initial<br />

growth into his frame so he makes a better roaster. Read the special growing<br />

recommendations on page 4 & 5. These birds give excellent results under the right<br />

conditions, but are harder to raise than dual-purpose birds.<br />

Pullets/Cockerels: Each 25-49:$2.17 50-99:$2.02 100+:$1.92<br />

FOR BEST RESULTS USE GOOD QUALITY FEED! SOME FEEDS HAVE BEEN<br />

KNOWN TO GIVE POOR RESULTS. MAKE SURE YOUR FEED MEETS THE<br />

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS, AND IS PELLETED OR FINELY GROUND!!<br />

The guidelines provided below are recommended when<br />

MAKING YOUR OWN FEED:<br />

1. Use commercially produced starter ration as<br />

recommended on page 5.<br />

2. When switching to your own feed, do so by mixing the<br />

3.<br />

starter (after the recommended period for starter) over<br />

a period of 4-7 days.<br />

Mix your milled grains with 40% poultry supplement<br />

as indicated in 4. & 5. If your birds have NOT been<br />

vaccinated against Coccidiosis or ARE NOT to be<br />

butchered within 2 weeks use medicated poultry<br />

supplement.<br />

RAISE YOUR POULTRY ORGANICALLY!!<br />

All Chicks and Turkeys grown without medicated feed are at a high risk of contracting coccidiosis.<br />

This can cause an immediate need for treatment, stunted growth in survivors, and even death. The<br />

expenses incurred and losses in birds will cut into your profits.<br />

Now you can get your Chicks and Turkeys vaccinated for coccidiosis. This is a completely organic way<br />

to build immunity, done at the hatchery, for a modest charge.<br />

To grow your birds naturally, you should have your birds vaccinated for coccidiosis; feed a good quality<br />

unmedicated feed and avoid using antibiotics. (Certified organic poultry would require the use of<br />

certified organic feed, as well.)<br />

If you choose to have your birds vaccinated for coccidiosis, do not use any medicated feed. Any amount<br />

of medicated feed in the first 3 weeks of the chicks life, will result in the vaccine being destroyed,<br />

defeating the purpose of the vaccination! It is essential to start with a clean disinfected barn when<br />

using this vaccine!! Immunity is not instantanious!!<br />

4. Combine milled grains in the following proportions.<br />

Barley 0-15% (hard for birds to absorb)<br />

Oats 0-25% (up to 25lb for 100 lb feed)<br />

Wheat 65-100% (75 pounds for 100lb feed)<br />

HYBRID EGG LAYERS<br />

WHITE LEGHORN (LEG):<br />

White Leghorns are ideal for the production of large, high quality, white eggs. These<br />

pullets are early maturing and are noted for their lack of broodiness. They are also bred<br />

for their disease resistance, excellent feed conversion, and are noted for their adaptability<br />

to most conditions. We highly recommend our White Leghorns for any size of flock. NB<br />

They are more flighty than any other layer!<br />

SEX-SAL-LINK BROWN (BRWN)<br />

Commonly known as the ISA Brown. These are the hybrid brown egg layers. They are<br />

easy to raise and prolific producers of large, richly colored, brown eggs of excellent shell<br />

quality. They are quiet and friendly and easily trained to lay in their nests. They tend<br />

to settle for an early in the day lay, so 80 % of your picking will be done by lunch time!<br />

They are also very clean in their nests so nesting material lasts! Good ventilation, dry<br />

bedding, good laying ration (18%) and controlled lighting are a MUST for peak<br />

performance! These are an excellent layer and a friendly bird-good around kids!<br />

WARNING!<br />

Poor feed quality for hybrids may result in<br />

cannibalism &/or egg eating


Guidelines to Raising your Hens<br />

Lighting Schedule<br />

1) Start your chicks as described on Pg 4-5<br />

with 23 hours of bright light.<br />

2)At 3 days of age, start to reduce the<br />

number of hours of light by one hour every<br />

2-3 days until down to 10 hours. This may<br />

not be possible with a windowed coop.<br />

3)At 14 days reduce the light intensity. Dim<br />

to just being able to read a newspaper.<br />

4) Grow to 19 weeks on 10 hours of dim<br />

light.<br />

5) At 19 weeks start to increase light by 1<br />

hour per week for 2 weeks. Then ½ hour per<br />

week until you have reached 15 hours of<br />

light<br />

Note If you raise your spring hens on<br />

natural light in the summer, start from no 4<br />

in the fall when they are 16 weeks old.<br />

WATCH OUT!!!!!!!winter daylight reduction ,<br />

quality of food, lack of water or cold<br />

temperatures may prevent your young hens from<br />

coming into lay, or result in your older laying<br />

hens going into a molt; (shedding their feathers<br />

& cease laying). If this occurs, go back to the<br />

lighting program recommended & start again!<br />

Feed & Water Schedule for layers<br />

1) Your birds should always have a good supply of fresh<br />

water. For the first 8 weeks feed them a good quality<br />

chick starter-check the ingredients for poor quality<br />

fillers. If your birds are cocci vaccinated, then use an<br />

unmedicated starter, otherwise it must be medicated<br />

with amprolium. The feed should be fine crumbles &<br />

they should always have food in front of them.<br />

2) At 8 weeks of age the birds may be gradually<br />

changed to a poultry grower. Unless cocci vaccinated<br />

the birds will require the medicated grower until<br />

13-15 weeks of age, at which time they should have<br />

developed their own immunity.<br />

3) At the first egg, start to change the feed to a quality<br />

18-19% ration. If you are grinding your own ration pay<br />

careful attention to the balance of grains(see page 7)<br />

& 40% concentrate required for healthy hybrid layers.<br />

Dropping your protein level will result in early burn<br />

out = picking and egg eating. Dual purpose layers do<br />

well on a 17% layer ration.<br />

Problem: My layers are eating their eggs!<br />

Solution: Check their feed. Most egg eating problems<br />

are as a result of an inadequate diet. If you are mixing<br />

your own feed check our mix P.7! You may also have<br />

Trouble Shooting<br />

to darken the coop. DO NOT allow your hens to eat<br />

the eggs. Pick the eggs 3 times per day. Once your<br />

hens develop a taste for the eggs, adequate protein will<br />

not stop them from this bad habit. Also dim your lights.<br />

Problem/Solution PICKING in poultry whether<br />

young or old, will most often occur if the birds are a)<br />

too hot, b) too crowded, c) short of fresh air,d) if<br />

they are short of protein in their feed or e) if their<br />

coop is too brightly lit. Once picking starts it is very<br />

difficult to stop. Using Vaseline or gun grease on their<br />

behinds will help prevent further injury and allow the<br />

area to heal. Action should be taken promptly when<br />

picking is first noticed. Check against the points<br />

mentioned above to determine the cause & correct the<br />

problem. Darken the coop for birds over 2 weeks of age.<br />

For laying birds, you may add curtains to their nest<br />

holes. If the problem continues, beak trimming may be<br />

required. To do so cut one-third of the top beak. Also if<br />

your birds are eating a large amount of snacks from<br />

your yard: eg. Grass, grasshoppers, table scraps, they<br />

may have a protein deficiency.<br />

Problem: My chickens lay 10 eggs one day & 33<br />

the next!<br />

Solution: Are they on 24 hours of light? This confuses<br />

their internal clock. Consistent restricted light<br />

allowance will result in consistent lay. They could also<br />

be short of protein, or be too cold. A time clock on your<br />

light will keep life easy.<br />

Temperature<br />

If you follow the guidelines on page 4 for starting chicks<br />

& continue to maintain your coop at 21’C (70’F) you<br />

will enjoy the benefits of good fresh eggs year round.<br />

DUAL PURPOSE BROWN EGG LAYERS<br />

RHODE ISLAND RED<br />

(RIR): The Rhode Island Red bird is an excellent hardy all round bird;<br />

producing rich dark brown eggs. Given the name of the state in which it was<br />

first bred, these deep coloured birds have progressed from simply a market<br />

bird to an important dual purpose bird with good egg production. The rooster<br />

can be protective of the passive hens. Chicks are dark orange and sold<br />

unsexed only.<br />

Dual Purpose Birds<br />

have a traditional meat<br />

flavour and texture.<br />

Butcher at 18-20 weeks for<br />

best results<br />

PURE BRED: RHODE ISLAND RED,<br />

Price per breed unsexed only:<br />

Each 25-49:$1.95 50-99:$1.80 100+:$1.70<br />

RED ROCK CROSS<br />

(RDRK): The traditional cross is a fine balance between egg and meat production.<br />

Roosters resemble a Barred Rock in size by weighing in at 6.5lbs, while the trim<br />

black hen with reddish chest weighs in at 5.5lbs.<br />

Pullet chicks are solid black, while the rooster has a white spot on its head (same<br />

appearance as a Barred Rock)<br />

RED ROCK & RED SUSSEX CROSS<br />

Price per breed:<br />

Unsexed: Each 25-49:$1.95 50-99:$1.80 100+:$1.70<br />

Pullets:Each 25-49:$2.58 50-99:$2.43 100+:$2.33<br />

Cockerals:Each 25-49:$1.44 50-99:$1.29 100+:$1.19<br />

The new family of dual purpose birds will lay noticeably more eggs<br />

than previous generations<br />

RED SUSSEX CROSS<br />

(RSUX): This cross produces a predominantly white rooster, which is easier for<br />

plucking. As with the Red Rock, there is an excellent balance between good meat,<br />

decent eggs and are very easy to handle and raise a flock. Pullet chicks are red,<br />

while the cockerels are yellow.<br />

AVAILABILTY IS LIMITED<br />

BARRED PLYMOUTH ROCK<br />

(BARK): The Barred Plymouth Rock is one of the oldest pure breeds. They are reasonable<br />

producers of medium size creamy brown eggs. The rooster, while they make for very good<br />

eating, can be aggressive. A low ratio of rooster to hens is necessary for good fertility if<br />

you are planning to breed. You don't want your hens “hiding” in their nests! These are<br />

tasty, fat free birds. They are easy to raise and winter hardy. The chicks are all black<br />

with a white spot on their heads and are sold unsexed only.<br />

COLUMBIAN ROCK<br />

(COCR): These remain the heaviest of our dual purpose birds. They are average layers of<br />

medium sized beige eggs. They are a good choice for an all around bird with their sweet<br />

happy go lucky personality. Very good meat birds, lean, tasty and hardy. Keep a few over<br />

the winter for a fresh supply of eggs. The chicks are all yellow and sold unsexed only.<br />

Price per breed unsexed only: Each 25-49:$1.95 50-99:$1.80 100+:$1.70<br />

STANDARD HERITAGE BREEDS<br />

We will do our best to give you a good selection of breeds in your packages, but we cannot guarantee that you<br />

will get all the breeds or guarantee show quality!<br />

Heritage breeds are hatched every Tuesday, from March through June, in our special heritage<br />

breed facility. They may not be combined with another order. Minimum orders, for warmth, are 25 Chicks<br />

or 30 Pheasants (selected dates), this includes pickups. We will strive to ship your regular breeds as close<br />

to the same date as possible.<br />

You may combine heritage breeds to total 25-eg 10 Ameraucanas(6.25each) with 15 Bantam Package (5.25each)<br />

DANISH BROWN LEGHORN<br />

( DBL).Nicknamed the ‘Roadrunner’ these birds are<br />

busy creatures- not flighty-just hyper! This<br />

wonderful little hen lays loads of large white eggs<br />

while remaining pleasant & friendly. The calm<br />

roosters are dramatically colored in comparison.<br />

Great crowers.<br />

BUFF ORPINGTON (BORP) It was the early<br />

1800’s before the Buff Orpington was brought<br />

here. They have broad, smooth fitting feathers on<br />

their massive bodies. Excellent winter birds, good<br />

layers & with beautiful pale meat make this a<br />

top class dual purpose bird.<br />

We recommend no more than<br />

one rooster for 10 hens on the<br />

Ameraucanas and Buff Orpingtons since<br />

the roosters are more aggressive. This<br />

will prevent the hens from hiding in the<br />

nests.The Cochins, Brahmas & Danish<br />

Brown Leghorn breeds are more suited<br />

to one rooster for 8 hens.<br />

AMERAUCANAS<br />

(AMER)<br />

This American version of<br />

the Ameraucana has tail<br />

feathers unlike their rumpless<br />

ancestors. Not as big as<br />

our other breeds, it is a fine<br />

layer of quality large blue<br />

green eggs. Their delightful<br />

beards & multicolors have<br />

kept it our most popular<br />

heritage breed for many<br />

years .<br />

BUFF BRAHMA (BBRA) & DARK BRAHMA(DKRA)<br />

STILL CANDY’S FAVORITE<br />

Brahmas were originally imported from India to New<br />

England, becoming a stately breed. Well known for their<br />

gentle nature, hardiness, good size and generally an<br />

excellent all around bird. They lay large rich brown eggs<br />

and are hardy winter layers.<br />

Photo by Bernice Sturm<br />

STANDARD WHITE COCHIN<br />

(WHCO)Originating from China they<br />

appeal as a show bird rather than for<br />

meat. Fine gentle temperaments,<br />

excellent winter birds & decent layers of<br />

large brown eggs. Their extensive feather<br />

layering makes them appear round and<br />

elegant. A real people pleaser!! A real<br />

WOW bird!<br />

BANTAMS<br />

By popular demand we have added a variety of bantam breeds to suit all tastes. Bantams lay in clutch<br />

cycles which means supplies vary. As a result, we are offering these birds as a Bantam Package or<br />

in an All breed Package only. In the packages, we will endeavour to give you as many of the breeds<br />

as we can, but again we cannot promise all of them, since our flock sizes and hatchability vary between<br />

the breeds. In order to be fair to all our customers ABSOLUTELY NO SPECIFIC BANTAM<br />

BREED orders will be taken. What we can promise is that your chicks will be strong and healthy<br />

(not guaranteed show quality) and we will be able to fill your order sooner than we have in the past!<br />

WHITE SILKIES These unusual birds are<br />

known for their black skin and hair-like<br />

plumage. Having a fifth toe is also an unusual<br />

trait.These birds date back to the days of Marco<br />

Polo and have remained popular as an excellent<br />

setter and for their friendly nature. The Whites<br />

are the quietest of the silkies, along with the<br />

blues.The reds and buffs are very aggressive,<br />

hence our selection of colour.<br />

95’DEGREES<br />

ESSENTIAL<br />

FOR THESE<br />

BIRDS<br />

SEE PG 4-5<br />

All bantams are very sensitive<br />

to temperature -especially for the first<br />

2 weeks. Their tiny bodies cannot hold<br />

the body heat like a broiler.TLC must<br />

be provided and constant monitoring for<br />

the first 48 hours. We recommend<br />

Turkey starter for the first 8 weeks.<br />

BB RED OLD ENGLISH<br />

These popular birds are back.<br />

These little birds may be small,<br />

but they have giant size<br />

personalities. They chatter<br />

unlike any other breed and<br />

carry on a conversation like we<br />

should understand.The roosters<br />

are very colorful while the hens<br />

are soft browns.<br />

PARTRIDGE & BLACK COCHIN These thickly<br />

feathered birds were brought from Shanghai to<br />

America and England in 1845 and became an<br />

instant success. They make wonderful pets, setters<br />

and are very hardy. Cochins remain popular for<br />

their consistency in temperament and durability.<br />

As with all heritage breeds, their longevity is<br />

remarkable - well worth keeping around for many<br />

years. The partridge color are a welcome addition<br />

to our selection!<br />

THE SPORTSMAN HATCHER: For improved results and<br />

better sanitation, hatcheries use a separate "setting" and<br />

"hatching" system. The eggs are incubated for 18 days in an<br />

incubator with turning trays, and then moved to a separate<br />

hatching unit, where the trays do not turn, to complete the<br />

hatching process. This allows the setters to be kept<br />

relatively clean, while the hatchers can be cleaned after each<br />

hatch. An added advantage is that eggs of different breeds<br />

can be incubated and then hatched at the same time in the<br />

hatcher. Up to 5 trays of eggs of the same kind can be<br />

hatched together, or 3 setters can be operated with one<br />

"hatcher" accepting eggs from each in turn.<br />

With electronic control. (SIN6 ) $1035.95<br />
