Quote: Hi, Thank you. I started this flock in 2008 and they all came from Donna Gehrke A.K.A. Bayhorsebonne

Quote: Ok, so I told Joe I would re-post this formula. And in reading it again, I realize I screwed up in my recollection of it Resolutions formula is a little more complex than what I remembered. Here is his post on backcrossing: Per Resolution, link...

Hi there, What medicine man is saying is that with Marans, crossing two unrelated birds from dark eggs and dark egg laying lines will often not produce offspring which lay the same dark eggs. It often causes you to lose the dark color in your flock rather than preserve it. It doesn't always...

Beautiful eggie pictures Cowgirlgrace, Ksf59 and Pink!

Quote: Yes of course, milk products make sense because they're mammals. I guess that is what Whey is. I'm just saying that pelleted or processed foods designed for equines might not be suitable for any avian species unless the manufacturer specifically states it. Eggs huh? ahahhaha My...

I will say though that there are some really popular pelleted feeds that are specifically marked for use with several species. Like Calf Manna. Manna pro states that Calf Manna can be fed to horses, cattle, rabbits, goats, poultry, swine, and deer. And I have heard a lot of people mention they...

Quote: Well, some people feed animal based protein and meat to chickens and you would never feed any animal-based food to a horse. Actually I was thinking more in terms of pelleted and processed feeds, because some minerals and supplements that would be great for horses in a certain...

Quote: Oooooo Ahhhhhh! Eeeeeeee!! Those are beautiful pictures MM

Quote: Ah, thank you Geebs Hmmm, I wonder if they could eat Natural Glo? That's a stablized rice bran product for horses. It makes their coats shiny. I suppose it's probably not such a great idea to feed the same food to different species. Anyone ever fed their Chickens Natural Glo?

woops, I just noticed someone was discussing it in the other thread. Well, anyway, if anyone knows anything about it I am curious.

I've got a question for anyone who knows anything about blood spots. I understand they are more common in dark brown eggs and some of my hens eggs eggs have them. I am wondering if there is anything to be concerned about. I know they are perfectly harmless in terms of eating the eggs. But I was...

Well, my pullets started back up laying in the last week or two. Finally, they are laying nice round, good sized eggs. Their first eggs in the fall were real nice and dark, but the puniest eggs I've ever gotten from my pullets. So they started back up and color looks fine and they are a great...

Happy New Year to you too.

Quote: Thank you drom! It is a 7 yr. old Optio S40 Pentax 4.0 mega pix. I used the regular old setting for any type of picture or lighting and reduced the size setting to 640 pixels for websites. When I read about the kleenex over the flash I had to try it out. One thing I will say about...

Same to you Geebsie-hope your holidays are great

Yes, very nice!!! How funny, I never would have thought to put kleenex over the lens. The image is still so clear. What type of Camera is that Pink?
