I am sorry to hear about your weasel problem, and my heart goes out to your chickens that were killed. A friend of mine had similar weasel problem, and they lost almost the whole flock. They rented weasel traps from Wildlife Rescue center which helped eradicate the whole weasel population which...

Yesterday, Walt Leonard gave a talk at the Santa Rosa, Ca., show about showing birds, how they are judged, as well as feather quality, and conformation. We were able to ask questions, and he replied to each and everyone graciously. It was a great, very interesting, captivating, and educational...

I am beyond delighted that finally I have German New Hampshire chicks, and wanted to share my joy with you : ) All the chicks, and birds shown are the progeny of: "Walt Leonard-fowlman01" birds...

Such detailed, at times quite raw information about the sentient beings' blood, flesh, and bones is very difficult to read about, and come to terms with. I thought this thread was about breeding, and improving the heritage fowl we; or I should say; some of us love, care for, and respect...

Hi Karen, and Vickie, Do you remember the Wolfdog craze which lasted up until couple of years ago when the not so smart breeders, and owners ended up with terribly fatal attacks, and in two instances that I know of being killed by these so called dogs? They were crossing the wolves with dogs...

Beautiful! The Langshan has such a stately stance even at such a young age. Lual

Thank you very much, Beekissed for your kind comments! I am grateful to Walt Leonard for entrusting his birds with me. Lual

Thank you, Scott! I am very happy that they are not laying yet; we are going through terribly brutal cold winter which they are not acclimated to. I am hoping that they will not start laying until it starts to warm up a bit next spring. Yes, quite often I work in my studio into early hours of...

My NHs. are almost 6 mos. old, and watching them grow and develop has been such a delightful, as well as wonderful learning experience. The pullets are sensible, clam and friendly birds, but, the cockerels have only one thing in their minds: romancing everything with feathers on two legs...

I wish you fast and full recovery, Scott. How nice that your wife is doing all the chores so you can rest. Beautiful photos of a lovely place. Lual ..

Your Leghorns are beautiful, Ve! They are living in such a nice place where able to free range. Lual

I am not able to do multi replies again . I think he is a very handsome rooster, Scott! I love him in that photo. I thought, perhaps I was posting too many photos of my NHs. so, instead, have been making a collection in my profile. As soon as they turn 5 mos. old, I will post some photos : )...

Thank you for the photos, brahmabreeder, Now I understand what a side "side sprig" is. Lual

Scott, what is side sprig, and what does it look like? I really like your new avatar. Lual

I did not know that one could buy or sell birds at poultry shows. At the dog shows, the exhibitors can get into serious trouble for even talking about it within someone else's ear shot. Actually, I think it is good idea, but, at the same time can be dangerous for some.. I mean, I wonder how many...

Well, well, well...even though Walt's age is mature, he is still much more handsome than many man who are half his age!! Let's all hope that; when we reach mature age, we will have the fortune of knowing half as much as he does! Lual

Congratulations on such a good number of entries; and wish you a very successful show! Looking forward to seeing the show photos. Lual
