    Taking chickens on an airplane?

    Oh gosh lol. I was just browsing around and ran into this. I was so glad they got to you! And you've done such a great job breeding them since you received them 🖤🖤🖤 They were so fun to raise, and they couldn't have gone to a better home. I was reading the posts and wondered who was breeding...

    Comment by 'Brigabart' in article 'Using Sand In Your Chicken Coop'

    I appreciate this post, but after trying sand twice, I have found that it is one of my most disliked substrates. One, it can be dusty. I noticed a huge increase in allergy symptoms with sand. Two, it smells. You can add pdz, line, etc, but there is a distinctive odor to coops with sand, and I...

    Phaeomelanin effect of Recessive White Gene?

    This is an interesting thread. A long time ago some older mille fleur breeders told me to always keep recessive white in my mille fleur lines, because it would keep the gold brighter. I dismissed it at the time but this thread is making me wonder.

    Avian influenza found in South Carolina

    Well I'd assume it will go along with migrations. In 2015 it died down in July.

    Avian influenza found in South Carolina

    I'm 14 minutes from where the hawk in Wake County NC was found on March 4. It's not been on the news or anywhere except the aphis list. Contacted NPIP today and they didn't even know about it! Not sure how they expect to keep flocks safe when they don't even have a communication pathway for...

    Hen laid... An ovary? Clear jelly thing

    I was thinking that, except for the firm jelly inside - definitely not egg white...

    Hen laid... An ovary? Clear jelly thing

    I have a two year old hen that just finished her molt about six weeks ago. This week I've found three of these odd things. One near a soft shell, the other two alone. I've seen soft shelled eggs - this is different. More of a kidney bean shape, gathered on one side. The inside is just clear...

    Observations on Mottling and its many allelic mutations

    So to revive this thread 😁... I have mottled d'Anvers. Chicks look like this, lots of white. When I breed them to blacks, I get two types of chicks, which will both grow into black chicks with a little bit of white leakage that all carry one copy of the mottled gene. One type is the...

    11th Annual Easter Hatch a Long 2020

    Set my eggs earlier today! 15 silkie/showgirl 16 Lavender Ameraucana bantam 12 d'Uccle 4 bantam Easter Egger We shall see! I'm betting half if the silkies are not fertile (2 girls just started laying after a broody sabbatical, and one is on her way -screetching at everyone). And I'm not sure the...

    Aspirated chick

    My sister in law has a serama chick. She fell into the water and almost died the first week. Somehow my sil revived the baby. She's been giving her vitamins and care, and the chick is seven weeks old. She just sent me a video - very tiny, very lightly feathered, staggery walk, and seems to...

    Color genetics thread.

    Curious as to whether anyone knows more about the bobtail Cochin genetics yet? So far I've picked up that they come from black reds and breed like an extreme recessive, possibly with sex linked components. I'm going to play around with mine a bit, but I'm still quite curious about the...

    Are these Blue Mille or Gold Neck d' Uccles?

    I have not yet. My mille fleur pullets are still too young. Probably in April I will be able to hatch. I ended up only keeping a rooster and a hen. Fairly sure the hen is a gold neck and the rooster is a splash mf. He has a bit of lavender in his tail. Also, I had one hen with severe wry tail...

    Are these Blue Mille or Gold Neck d' Uccles?

    So, just sticking this in here for anyone who wants "blue mille fleur d'Uccle" from Ideal. I ordered 25 chicks from them this year. And from here and other places, I knew to expect little to no actual blue mille fleur. I expected all splash mille fleur. Splash mille fleur, by the way, look...
