Would love to see a picture of your beautiful red-heads Jeff. :) Nan

I want to thank you all so much for the information and posts about the New Hamps. I sincerely appreciate it. I also want to apologize again for my minor rant. I am embarrassed that I let my panic and frustration flow over into the post it was very disrespectful. I am going to take the advice I...

Thank you everyone, all your information is so helpful. I apologize for my minor ranting, I was feeling very frustrated. I waited for a long time to start this project, practiced what seemed like forever on hatchery stock and tried to get the best birds I could find to start with only to have...

Thank you so much Karen. I really appreciate your knowledge of color genetics. I am going to do some serious digging into this issue, which I foresee being a wonderful learning opportunity. Heritagehabitfarms, thank you for your words of encouragement. I will just keep digging and searching for...

I can promise they were never out-crossed here. I only have 1 Large Fowl rooster on my property and that is the NH. The only other rooster on my place is a Nankin and he was locked up in a breeding pen as were the NH's, not even sure if it would be possible for him to service the NH hens, though...

Penny, I really wish that were the case but I am finding the exact opposite to be true. If I'm seeing things correctly the #2 chick I posted from the 3-10 hatch is looking to be a cockerel to me as is the 3-1 chick looks to be the same. The #1 chick from the 3-10 hatch is still undecided. I am...

Hello to you as well YHF. This is the path I have been able to track as far as origination of this particular strain of birds. I purchased my trio from Mr. Bill Braden (lovely man I have to add), he got his stock from Scott MIner who I have been told got his stock from our lovely Ms. Kathyinmo...

Good Afternoon Everyone, I rarely post here but I need some advice and education from you long time breeders. I have just hatched my 3rd set of New Hampshires and after seeing the pictures that cbnovick posted of her 2 day old chicks my concerns may indeed be valid and one that could potentially...

I know this was posted a little while back but I always have a nice bale of alfalfa available to my birds, especially during the winter months when the only green they get is from the table, which IMO is not enough to keep their diet in balance. Good to know I am doing something right. Thank you...

Awhile back I read a post about kids not wanting to eat the birds your family grew. This was my solution to that potential problem with my Grand-daughter. Get them involved in the process. We harvested 50 birds in Dec, she was there for the entire process and was even given the job of putting...

Mr. Walt

Well Ms. Kathy it just so happens that I too downsized and have lots of extra room in one of my coops and I would be more then happy to take a trio of those incredible New Hampshires off your hands, it would be the least I could to help you with your "downsizing" efforts. :) Nan

Yay! I can't wait to meet you and see your amazing birds! This will be the very first bird show I have attended and I'm so excited. Hubby told me I have to leave my credit cards at home, his exact words. "Woman I think you have spent enough money of those d*** birds"... Hahaha if he only really...

For anyone who may be interested in coming. http://www.nestatepoultryshow.com/ Hope everyone is enjoying the fall weather. I love watching my birds go crazy in the leaf piles.

Thought I would share a pic of my 12wk old trio from Bill Braden. I apologize for the picture quality it was taken with a camera phone and they wouldn't come closer to the gate. They are currently at my Daughter's house in OK and she will be delivering them to me next month. So exciting! Have a...

Good day everyone. I apologize for jumping back to a previous discussion about feeding fish food as a supplement. But I would still like to delve into it a bit more. I pulled the tag off what I am currently feeding to my birds and wanted to get a few opinions about it. I like to try and keep...

Just curious if those fish feeds make the eggs and meat taste well...fishy?

Welcome to Heritage Large Fowl Chat Ariel (Campinechickens) and thank you for sharing pictures of your birds with us. Very beautiful. Look very forward to seeing more of them.

These are the two White-Faced Black Spanish chicks I would like to rehome. They are 8 weeks old they look like pullets to me but I am completely unfamiliar with this breed so it's just a guess. I hatched them from eggs that I received from Lund poultry, they were fillers to complete an order I...

Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. I was so nervous when I was typing my post. I confess I felt slightly intimidated but like the true country girl I am I hiked up my boots and jump in with both feet. First step is always the scariest right. Anyways, Bob my hubby caught that...
