Haha, me again looking for photos. For this project, on recessive white vs dominant white, I need photos of (you guessed it) recessive white, and dominant white birds, but most importantly, paint birds as I do not have high quality pictures of the paint variety. They don't have to be great...
Hi all! I've been working on a video project (that will be on YouTube) regarding molting. I wanted to include a small section on lice/mites so people could tell the difference and act accordingly. It's aimed at people that are very new to chickens and I figured the more information I could share...
Hi all! I'm working on a project on molting chickens and wanted to briefly go over lice/mites. I know lice/mites don't cause molting. ;) It's geared towards new chicken owners and since I've been seeing so many new people confuse molting for lice/mites, I wanted to include a bit of info on it to...
Hi all! I seem to be drawing a blank on this one. I know mottled genetics, Silver/Gold genetics in roosters, dun/khaki/mauve and BBS genetics are all example of incomplete dominance, but are there any others? I'm trying to get as many examples as I can for a project I'm working on, but I'm...
(Sorry in advance if I’m in the wrong forum)
There’s a great breeder in NC that had a trio of a very rare bantam breed available that I just adore, and I’d love to get them! Problem is..I’m in NJ. I know they could be shipped but..I’m scared to death of that. A couple of my immediate family...
Hi all! The last time I needed pictures of chickens (specifically naked necks :D), you all provided some great pictures making the project a HUGE success! :wee
So..I'm at it again, and need more pictures. 😅
So..here's what I need: 😁 (This list will be updated as needed)
- Any bird that is...
Hi all! I'm working on a chicken genetic project and have examples of Dominant/Recessive genes (Black & Lavender), incomplete dominant genes (BBS) but cannot for the life of me find any examples of co dominant genes. All of the examples I've found for chickens I know are wrong (Black X White =...
Hi all! I'm working on a video project (that will be on YouTube. :) ) about Naked Necks and the genetics behind them, but I need some pictures! Both of my birds are heterozygous and both have bibs and I really need some pictures of homozygous naked necks, meaning they do not have a bib. :)...
Hi all! I really need help with this day-Old D’Uccle chick. If pipped and tried to break through it’s egg but couldn’t make it so we had to help him. That was this morning. He never could walk quite right, and now I’m seeing that he has curled toes, what looks like splayed leg, and wry neck. He...
Hi all! For those of you that ship small egg orders, how exactly do you ship them? Probably a dumb question but I just want to make sure my eggs have the best chance of getting where they are going. :) The specific order I'm doing is 6 eggs. Of course we won't be shipping until it is warmer, and...
Hi all! We are starting to plan to build a giant barn with an aviary in the next few years that can be heated to keep junglefowl as well as species that don't need heat such and Lady Amherst and Red Golden Pheasants. We've never had pheasants before which is why I'd like to take a couple years...
Hi all! Does anybody know how often the JANOEL incubator turns the eggs inside? I'm working on a project about it and I'd like to include how often it turns the eggs but I can't find any information about it, and my instruction manual is MIA but even if I had it I probably couldn't read it...
Hi all! This is a question for any APA/ABA breeders out there..
Has anyone actually tried to change the Standard regarding the dubbing of modern game, old English game, and American game birds? I hear a lot of talk about breeders saying that 'it is cruel to dub' and such, but I've never seen...
Hi all! I’m in GA now visiting family, but I heard there was an incredible junglefowl breeder by the name of Charles Hill that lives an hour and a half from where I’m staying. Just wondering if anybody has contact info or if he has a website or something like that. We go to GA every year and...
Hi all! I'm interested in possibly purchasing some lemon mille fleur sablepoot eggs in the Spring or summer of 2021. :) Hatching eggs are ideal but chicks are ok too. Must be able to ship to NJ. ;)
Hi all! I've been working on a video project about wing clipping, and although I prefer to clip both wings, I'm trying to give every option for clipping wings. I am 99% sure it doesn't matter which wing to clip if you choose to only clip one wing, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't...
Hi all!
I would really like to show my chickens in exhibition shows, but to be honest I don't have any clue where to start. lol
I've been showing them at our local county 4-H fair, but I'd like to show with the APA or the ABA. So..here's my questions. Thank you in advance!
Are there APA...
Hi all!
I've been looking into entering a lot of my birds (25+) in Poultry shows, and saw that they needed to be tested for pullorum. Is this pullorum test at the show, or do I need to get somebody to test prior to the show? In a week we are having our state agent come out and test all of our...
Hi all! What gender do you think this (a little shy of) 4 1/2 week old Birchen Modern Game Bantam is? I really need it to be a girl but it’s probably a boy. My sister keeps telling me it’s a boy and I know she’s probably (definitely) right. 😕
I don’t see waddles yet, but the comb is kinda...
