Anybody got frostbit combs yet. I have a welli roo that has some for sure. Will it affect fertility? Seems like I read that somewhere.

Glad someone talked about breeding pens in the shade. Any body to experience with this issue.

  I noted that some gamecock breeders let there stags range with little more than whole corn. They have to work to rustle up what they need. It seams that this is in part for practical reasons, but they also want them to grow out slower and more naturally. There is a belief that this makes for...

What are the benefits to group mating vs individual mating like you say with your leghorns. Next year will when you go to four pens how will the mating be then? Father/daughter, mother/son.?

Breeding pens...... Set ups, hatch goals, top three thing you plan on putting breeding pressure on and selecting for in offspring this year?

The black plastic and old window curtain are my wind breaks. Really makes my pens look nice......

I know some have been talking about breeding pens. Here are my redneck makeshift pens.lol. Light come on at 3:30 and off at 8. Including the Christmas ones on the pens. It's the season. The have been set up since thanksgiving and they are starting get cranking. I've got two trios set up and I am...

Some birds have nice profiles but lack in depth and width of body. Not saying he does, sometimes it is hard to get the 3-d in our heads without seeing it. I know it helps me when I walk to my pens to have that vision in my head.

Very nice bird Matt. I would love to see this bird from the rear and top to get a feel for size.

I got to looking, a lot of the Wyandotte types seem to be more of the uk standard type.

Kind of like a image search for reds or rocks. Same faults. Tails and types. I guess kind of like others if it is black is is a australorp, and if is orange it's a red, and if it has some degree of barring, well it's "bard rock" lol. That's a craigslist quote.

Other tips, Walt? What is your opinion on types? If you do a image search you see all types. Very few look like the ones in my 1929 I think standard.

Anybody got words of wisdom on breeding australorps. I am two generations removed from hatchery birds with them. Seems most bird don't look like the standard I see in pics on the web. So many look real show type, which look orp, or Wyandotte to me. kick it. Who has good ones...... Start where...

I know bob had mentiond before that he was working on a list for starters. He was always willing to email or pm you contacts for who has what. To help out could we post on here a list of who we know has what and their contact. Might be a good think as long as the people listed don't mind being...

Glad I am not the only one with Christmas light on chickens. I have the old big bulb ones with a 75 watt on the other pens. How bright is enough?

Who all has lights on pens? Started mine on thanksgiving on Welles and rirs.
