I'm just wondering---------- If the vanilla trees work - could you get some of the vanilla oil and mix it in a sprayer and spray around barns and coops etc? I wonder if that would work for larger areas ?

Sorry to hear that - The little boy next door lost his rabbit- I've been trying to explain to him that it happens sometimes when you have animals - He did everything he could to take care of the rabbit but he didn't know the age or anything so maybe it was old or something. and just...

I've lost two hens- One got up under a cage and expired before I found her and another hen I had that had nine chicks . The one with the chicks had a cover on her pen and it slipped off or some kids next door took it off or something- When i got home today The hen and 7 of the chicks were...

I love the way they look- Can't wait to see pics of the chicks as they grow up

This is the post I was replying to about the Sumatras- I haven't got used to the new format yet -

I really like these too- They are longer and longer legged than most pics of Sumatras I have seen. They look more like a game type bird than most of the sumatras I've seen- Are these a special "line" of Sumatras?

Quote: It's a shame about your male. They are such personable birds. Some of mine are naked necked and some aren't. My stock came from eggs imported from Madagascar and looked as if those had been crossed with some meat birds. So I crossed some with Shamos. Though some are 7/8s Madagascar, I'd...

Quote: I got ten "hatch " pullets in a trade with a guy from Mississippi who got them from a gamefowl keeper in Alabama- All are nice and three of them look identical to these sweater hens you posted on here

I have a question for you guys that have been raising games for a long time- I know a lot of people only keep the game hens in individual pens or with only a couple of hens . I sometimes have to house several in one large pen due to space etc. Of course you know when you introduce...

I have some game hens- i wonder will these peepers calm them down a little when I want to introduce a new hen to the flock- They are a little meaner than some of the larger breeds and takes them longer to settle down .

Quote: He looks exactly like one of my roosters and he is half brown red hatch and half spangled hatch . He's a pretty rooster - I haven't dubbed mine yet either- I want him dubbed but have never done it and haven't quite worked up the nerve yet

Was reading on one of those other forums that I googled about "Black Japs" Saw some pics they were nice looking hens but didn't see any pictures of roosters- Any of you guys know anything about them?

Quote: Wow!! Love the color and her shape- And I also like a hen with spurs for some reason- always have. Thank you. She is mean as they come when she has a clutch of biddies and loves to use those spurs and I have the scares on my legs to prove it. Chris I like a mean hen too-...
