Quote: Hmm....I'd check out Lamon's work. He does discuss dominques, which is going to give you a good feather pattern indicator. Lucky Lucky where did you find that book ? Chickielady, you can get it from Amazon. I just got mine a few days ago and am enjoying it.

Quote: Yay!

Yard full o' rocks : Al....this might be a little off topic, but since you deal with meat birds thought maybe you could help with this question. I have Columbian Rocks (thanks to Mr Bob Blosl!!) and have already got a bunch in the incubator. Will be hatching a lot this spring to improve, as...

Quote: Thanks buffbeauty and everyone for your input. I am planning to order eggs from Roy as soon as they have some available in the spring. Maybe I'll be posting pics of them on this thread next summer.

Quote: I would think they told you this because most people are used to hatchery/non showing birds, which are bred solely to lay a lot more eggs than normal. Heritage and Show Quality birds are not bred more for form than function, we still do want enough eggs to hatch and/or sell from. I...

I have a question for those of you that raise show birds. I have been inquiring about LF Brahma hatching eggs and was told by a breeder that I would probably be disappointed in the way show birds lay (or don't lay). Is a poor lay rate typical of show birds in general or is this something that...

I really like the Barred Rock shape. I just love BIG chickens!

In a few days I will introduce you to some pretty Light Brahma large fowl. The kind I thought I had when I started in 1960 but had the production type. bob Yay! I have been looking for a breeder of good Light Brahma birds. Brahmas are one of my very favorite breeds. I can't wait to see your...

Remember he is young and hormones will make some male animals act stupid. I am sooooo tempted . . . but, not going there, not going there, not going there . . .

I checked out the Delaware website - it looks GREAT! I bookmarked it. After looking at the pictures I think I may have to research this breed. I didn't realize just how beautiful a bird they are. I've been trying to decide on one more breed to raise along with Salmon Faverolles and this...

Great questions Yard full o' rocks (sounds like my yard!) and I anxiously await the answers. Also, could some one send me or tell me where to get a copy of "Start where you are with what you have." ? I would love to read it.

Quote: I joined in Aug. I just received my packet this week, and the membership card says membership expires 7/1/2011. I also was sent the 2008 yearbook, same as the person Walt mentioned. You will receive the next one in about a month. As you can see, it is full of ads with contact info...

I would like to become a member of the APA. I was wondering though, when is the renewal date? Is it in January or a specific month or do you get a year of membership from the time you activate your membership? I found no info on their website about this.
