Quote: WOW, they just keep getting more beautiful! I'm so glad you were able to get those lovely birds! Regarding ash, isn't it just as bad to breathe in as DE? I'm wondering if we're just over doing it with caution and dust. Dusting is a natural way to get clean for many many animals...

That's just GREAT! I'm TERRIBLE at Chess! Well, since I actually DO have about a year between matings, and I can use pen and pencil, I guess I have those tools to compensate for lack of memory, so I can actually devise a plan and "see" where I'm going with it, whereas, I can barely see the...

Strawberry Blond rocks? LOL

Well, having read this discussion on bumblefoot earlier today, I found myself holding two of my leghorns on my lap, playing with their feet (because I love chicken feet, they remind me of baby hands, LOL) And as I'm squeezing the girls footsies, I think, what is that rough spot, and when I...

Even though I understood what was being said, that photograph is so graphic, it was great to see (and archive on my computer for future reference) Thanks so much Fred's Hens!

Wow! Gorgeous, but also, I'm amazed at how well feathered in they are at 5 weeks! And that first one's chest! And their legs are so sturdy! They look really awesome! Does anyone know if Duane Urch answers the phone on weekends? I keep forgetting to call during the week...

good article, glad there is such an organization watching out for us. If I ever have money, I'll need to support them! :P

I've been practicing holding my birds like that today. I can't hardly ambulate, but spent the whole day with the birds! I missed them so much!. Thanks for teaching me that!

BTW, I forgot to announce that I finally got my ASOP in the mail today! It's a much higher quality book than I thought it would be! I also got the year book, which is awesome, I can maybe get to know some names and faces. The yearbook is about what I expected the ASOP to be like, paper back...

BTW Karen, I'm pretty sure we still have sex linked genes in mammals. Perhaps, going from mamals to birds, you would simply flip the system. instead of breeding 3rd male to hybrid females to get nearly identical offspring, you'd do the breeding of 3rd female to hybrid males? It seems like...

Quote:Originally Posted by Robert Blosl Cut..... So it may work very well. But you take R I Reds from Mass and one from Illiniois and one from Calif and cross them all up. Boy the sparks are going to hit the fan. I think I've noticed a lot of people on the boards, that I've read from the...

:) Does that mean he really didn't breed them?

one more question for Bob, you said Henry K Miller from Pennsulvania? was "a famous old time sting man". What is a sting man? Also, when do you think Urch likely got those birds? Or maybe I should ask when Mr. Miller died? Thanks for painting a cool picture of the times for me!

Love fort knocks! Good job! I'm really hoping that in the next few years, we can move to the country and I won't have all these restrictions, but I also don't want to sit still. I think for now, I might do some smaller scale experimenting since I'm now given some interesting option ideas :D...

Thanks, I'm back to maniacally taking notes and reading again, and thinking....LOL.

Duly noted! There is nothing I can do about being a newb, but this does excite me and I have time :)

You are all so truly wonderful! Such great comments. Your first review of what I am looking to do is exactly what I figured I'd have to do Yellow House Farm.. I had a slightly different breeding system in mind, but will have to study what you said and see if that won't fit better! Bob, You...

I agree with everything everyone else said, but all fads do crash, so don't be upset when this one does ;) As for me, I hang out here because you old timers really teach us a lot! Thank you all so much! Now, If any of you actually know someone who raises SOP Crevecoeurs who isn't Duane Urch or...

I'm sorry nobody has helped yet. Sometimes the thread goes too fast, plus often there are only a few people who know how to help. I have no idea here myself? But here is a bump to the new page in hopes someone can help. Also, if you go through this thread, or the chicken state university large...
