I realize that you no longer have these, but do you have more you are auctioning now or anytime soon?

Hmmm on the parasites. I will check. It's about time to dose them with Ivermectin, though I haven't really seen anything, it surely won't hurt. The temps only are in the low 30's here at night, and the roo seems active enough, and since I've already hatched eggs from him and these same girls...

I have some Dorking/Barred Rock Crosses. Strange things like this happen when you toss an egg eating BR hen into a pen with an extra Dorking roo and your hatching addition causes you to toss some eggs in the incubator to make sure every spot is filled. lOL The feathering is very simliar to...

This is my first winter (OK, so it's still officially fall) with a laying flock of Dorkings. They started laying late Oct and fertility was fairly good then. However, since then fertility has dropped to zero. I would have thought it was just my birds but I got some Dorking eggs from a friend...

Thanks. Looks like she is going to be confined to the laying pen.

I have one white Appleyard that Holderread's threw in when I ordered more Silvers for my flock. Anyone have any idea what will happen if I allow her to breed to a Silver drake? Is the white dominate, or will some Silvers hatch out?

My Dorkings just started laying well, and I have trouble with them wanting to lay in the dirt too. I'll try making the nest boxes darker. Thanks. I also have a question. My eggs were very fertile and hatched well for a time, and now, none of them are developing. I also got some Dorking eggs...

I think red bug poultry (a few posts under yours) is kind of close to your neck of the woods! Hope so and good luck!

My Silvers were hatching out all pure silver, and I was so confident of the source of my flock that I even advertised the hatching eggs are pure silver. But the past 2 hatches I've done have had a couple roos with what I consider too much white, so I'm suspecting some Light lineage in there. I...

That makes sense. Amazing how perfectly God designed his creatures. :-)

Ok, I am so new to Appleyards that I didn't even know there was a breeding season. Is it during certain months, or just whenever it happens to hit them? My Anconas quit laying for a couple of months, usually Nov-Jan. That would explain why the ladies aren't laying either. It also explains...

Got my first Harlequins from Holdread's in early June. I got them because of the rave reviews of a friend who had some. I think I'm going to enjoy them too. I love the duckies. :-) Got some appleyards hatching in the incubator now. thanks so much guys, you've put my mind at ease.

Thank you so much! That's a relief. I love my Appleyards.

Hi, I have two pair of Silver Appleyards that I got from a local breeder about a year ago. When I got them, their color was very typical and beautiful. Over the past month though, my drakes have lost their color. There is no green on their head, just silver and black now. I attributed it to...

Does anyone know of a breeder of the old timey dark red RIR's in Abbeville? I've heard that there are two people in the state that have them.

Oh, and yeah, of the 11, 10 have 5 toes. The other one has five toes on 1 foot and 4 on the other. :-)

I just hatched some eggs from her. Had 11 hatch out of 17 shipped, which I think is pretty good for shipped eggs. Especially since when I went to pick them up, the clerk at the post office slammed the box down sideways on the counter. grrrrr. Had some displaced air cells, but not due to...

I was about to post something similar and saw your post. I am starting to mix up grains for mine and wanted imput and suggestions too. I simply don't like not seeing exactly what my birds are eating, therefore what we are eating. I used to get a natural grind from a local feed company but had...

We use non-medicated turkey starter for ours. It has the extra protein for their muscle and bone development. It's usually a couple dollars more than chick starter.

So cute!!!!!!
