What matters most is that you enjoy your birds. When you are ready to start adding to your flock look for local breeders of the breed you want or get some more chicks from the feed store. Just make sure you keep the new birds separate from your birds for a few weeks to make sure they are in tip...

They are friendly birds. Love the pic!

Congrats! Very nice!

Just adding my 2 cents on the male dog training...you can buy a band that wraps around his belly and covers his business part. I put a feminine napkin in it for easy clean up. When he lifts his leg to pee he is peeing on himself and not on your house/furniture/floor. Keep this on him when he is...

That looks like how my black cockerels feathered out. I thought one of them was going to keep his fluffy bum.

with shows starting everywhere I am curious to see who is going or has been. What did you show if you did or if not were there many orps there. Big fair here next weekend. I have never been to a poultry show but I am going to check out the one at the fair here just to see what people have.

Put something on it and leave it open for a day. Never takes them long to figure out feeders.

I am slowly learning this.

Now I am thinking I was not using enough water. Need to round up my buckets and try again. I think I will wait for it too cool off a bit more first. They have a lot of bugs to catch in the mean time.

It was fuzzy. I had a good run of fermented feed and was just adding more food and water after the first ferment. I had a two bucket rotation going. I was keeping it in the garage with a cotton dish towel over the top. When it started getting warm outside it started getting fuzzy on top. I plan...

I tried FF for a month or so. It is easy to get started but my problem was getting a white mold on top of the feed and then having to toss the whole bucket. After tossing a few buckets full of feed I decided to quit. How do you keep it from getting moldy? It could have been that it was just too...

I think he is going to be the first cull of the group. He is huge but his comb looks wrong and his tail end looks wrong. But really I don't know what I am talking about. Just basing it off of looks. That is my plan as well. Pick a few and show them to get my feet wet and try to get as much info...

Couple of my young blacks Young buff cockerel Another young cockerel. His comb is large and flopping to the side.

to me it looks cracked and infertile.

Any chance you need a roo? How did your hatch go? I thought about it when I was out looking mine over. They are looking really good size wise.

He looks like a good sized roo. I love the golden color of the buffs.

I am originally from Decatur. I probably missed the pic of your rooster in all the posts. If you would post him again I would love to see one of Fred's birds. I am trying to get my sister in Alvord set up with a few of my hens but she isn't as crazy about them as I am. Don are you heading this...

that is where I was heading with my random thought process I think. It probably would have taken me 2 days and a million differently phrased sentences to get to that though.

Thanks for saying this. It is something I have thought about quite a bit. So often though people want to know what line a bird is from. I often give the line they came from but rarely give a name as to who bred the bird. Although I am giving Don all the credit for the huge buff boys I have. I...
