I would like to know that to.

Matt, Sgribble, and others that knew Bob personally. I am particularly sorry for your loss, and to his family. I woke up thinking about Bob this morning. One thing that stands out to me, thinking back on this, is how much he seamed to enjoy the birds. How he enjoyed his memories of the people...

You know that you are welcome. I might not be around this weekend, but other than that . . . anytime

Correction. 7lbs 14oz. 2oz off standard weight. He has filled out a bit more. You know it is funny that you say that. Bridget, says that mine look larger. Mine are taller and longer, but hers has better fleshing. Funny what the eyes and pictures will do. She has better colored birds, mostly...

I did not take it that way Joseph. I hope they will measure up to your Dorkings at some point, but they will take a bit for that. Regardless, I appreciate your thoughts. I posted the pictures for you to see them. I appreciate the feather pictures to. I am not there yet. I will overwhelm myself...

No. These are what I started with help from Rev. Romig.

They do need work, but if you walked my yard, you might notice that most of what I need is here. For the most part height is not an issue. I will know better in the spring, when the younger birds are farther along. They do have some meat on their thighs. I like that, and important for a breed...

In the spirit of the Mediterranean breeds, I am posting a couple Catalanas. I know, they need a lot of work, but that is part of the appeal. They are a genuine project. They need work, but they perform. They are all business. They are starting to molt, by the way. A cock, hen, and very late...

Congrats. Good to see.

I would try not to make any breeding decisions before I have even seen the birds. I am bad about getting idealistic fanciful ideas in my head, but I tend to change my mind when I know better. I would recommend just getting them, enjoying them, and getting to know them. The rest will come.

Yes, make sure you put them in the fabric softener. LOL.

One of the worst words ever coined is the word humane. To equate the two is to devalue one and raise the stature of the other. You can't just do one, because as a consequence you change the position of the other. I am certainly against poor or negligent treatment of anything. I even try to keep...

Those White Dorkings are sharp looking birds. Have to give it to you YH. You do not just talk the talk. You practice what you preach.

They look good Walt.

Now, I will concede on a point. There is an advantage to "tractors". Fresh Grass. IF, the birds are not crowded, have some room, and are let out regularly. There is something to be said for always being on fresh ground, no bedding (straw, chips, or sand) etc. You might have to move them, but you...

I always like looking at the Leghorns. Where did the blacks come from?

I have to admit that I was one of the idiots that did not make mine tall enough. I used scraps from a couple projects and sized everything accordingly. Particularly, I used shoring from a very large under ground, traffic rated cistern that I built. We had to cut the shoring in lengths to get it...

Those New Hampshires have substance. Nicely set on strong legs, set well apart. That is an improvement. They will need some work on the finer details, but that is a foundation that can be built on. They have what a New Hampshire should. There is more to a bird than pretty feathers.

Catch the spider and move it. LOL. No chemicals necessary.

I do not buy all of these natural recipes. Never seen a proof that they were effective. It doesn't make any difference to me what compound might be in what. Generally stomach acid is not very friendly to them. Maybe you can isolate the compound and inject it directly into the bloodstream. Who...
