I thought you were in BC Call Ducks, yes east coats is even more money for grains. I live just south of Calgary and cerial crops are about all we can grow here. Gjensen, yes its enough wheat, but the cows and pigs like it too and so makes it easy for us to play with recipes. So we are fortunate...

That is quite expensive feed. I pay around 350 bucks right now for a tonne. I get it from a farmer next door, we hammer our own feed there and I pay 1 dollar extra per bushel for mixing on top the going market price. Add the layer supplement and you are around 340 bucks right now for a tonne...

Yes, looks like a completely dead male bird. Also a good example of how you can see some faults better after you stretch its neck and skin em. Piet

Lol, fantastic review. Wonder if that would fly in vet school. My explanation would be the same though, I understand that language;)

I agree and I don't. They are not a dime a dozen, not always.. I just lost 9 hens (wyandottes) to a weasel attack. I have only 5 hens left now. These 14 were all my keepers to breed from this season. (equals 10% of what I grew out last year) All the best hens were killed. If I can recover the...

Starting to come together, much more work then I anticipated. We will keep on trucking! Obviously, we are still under construction, but you can see the beginning. Thanks for looking. Piet http://www.barnevelderbreeders.com/

I like this breed also and like long featherlegged breeds, the Langshan is the main ancestor of my breed I raise primairily and you can see their type back in them (the Barnevelder). Ok, the Kraaikop is tall, wide, yet slender built. Head looks small compared to the large frame body. Long narrow...

The "Breda fowl "(Breda is a Dutch city where it started out, And Gelderland is just next to it)..It is standardized in Holland and we call it Kraaikop. (crowhead) They are related to Polish, Polish are also misunderstood in the name, they are another Dutch breed. Some similarities are the large...

I had a line of Dutch Bantams Light brown that were carriers for wheaten. Clearly recessive at first sight, but did dilute quite noticeably on the light browns, located only in the female breast. I found that out after I bred the F1 back, two wheaton chicks out of 15 popped up and I marked them...

You are what you eat, right? Arielle, I have done the EPTM tests for the mares in Deurne when I went through college. Vdl brought 40 young horses one year and I helped start most of them. Hope you are able to get many more foals from your Nimmerdor mare, have you considered Numero Uno as a stud...

the poultry they did in Holland for preservation, a safeguard, and is off course nothing like the horseworld. You cannot buy baloubet the rouet, but you can buy a straw for 5000 and hope for one like him. The horse business is what I come from and also how I ended up in Canada. I was imported to...

On frozen semen. In Holland in 09 they collected semen from 16 different Dutch heritage breeds. They froze 800 doses of each breed from at least 10 roosters each breed. Many breeders offered their best birds for this project. It is another help tool for the preservation of the more rare breeds...

I have my showbirds for layers, because they lay real well and for meat we run 100 broilers. 8 weeks to butcher a great carcass there is nothing that compares to it. The farmers run only 38 days on them now, but we take a bit more time and try to get them to graze a bit more also. Those We take...

Don't mind my grammar too much please. English is not my native tongue, it is my third best language.

If you can grow out and observe all the birds you hatch with good recordkeeping for a few years you can sure have a better idea of future outcomes, but never guaranteed due to mostly environmental factors, feed, sickness etc. You learn how the birds develop. For instance my Welsummers when they...

Hello and thank you, here is the Cockerel and also a couple pics of one of my Barnevelder pullets, she got reserve Continental behind the Wellie. Also see a pic of the Barnevelders cockerels I brought to the show. Only I could not get the color to clearly at least you see the type somewhat.
