Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Standard Cornish Chickens: Not Cornish Cross! | Blake Phillips
Q: If somebody wanted to get started with standard Cornish, how would be the best way to find a breeder?
Phillips recommends looking for breeders through the International Cornish Breeders Association on Facebook and checking that groups are based in the United States.
Standard Cornish Chickens: Not Cornish Cross! | Blake Phillips
Q: What's the age to maturity?
Phillips says his two usual lines begin laying at about six months, but he waits until birds are at least 18 months old to evaluate them as breeders because their full potential and possible faults take time to show.
Chicken Keeping That Works for You | Nikki Husted of Purely Chickens
Q: For listeners who are new, can you introduce yourself and tell us what you do with Purely Chickens?
I educate people online about how to take care of chickens, building community and sharing practical, tested advice; I started after viral moments on social media and focused on answering follower questions with real-world demonstrations.
What to feed my chickens, dry incubating/hatching, and more listener questions answered
Q: Is there a rule of thumb for turning shipped eggs during the first week?
Turning during the first week is critical to prevent yolk separation and blastoderm detachment; while some vibration-prone incubators exist, maintaining regular turning (at least every two hours) yields better hatch results.

Q: How important is egg bloom and washing in hatch outcomes?
Bleeding the bloom off eggs or washing them increases contamination risk; preserve the bloom to keep bacteria out, and only refrigerate washed eggs if you must wash them, otherwise keep them at room temperature for as long as practical.
