Would you check for me OR send me a link to the page that has the directory on it ? ? ?


 

 

The MOA Club used to have a breeder's directory. I went there today and couldn't find it? I don't belong to the other club any more.

on the MOA directory you have to scroll down on the page all the way past the joining part and its at the bottom, but its a small list on there so far.

I think that I remember seeing "want to buy" posts mixed in the BST sections....so you kind of have to hunt for them. Are you looking for something? wink.png

Hens, unless you want to test hatch the balance of the hatch and there is one with Carnation type Penne comb I would cull all the group. The wavy comb could still be used if need be. With all the combs type problems showing up it is time to start test mating all the Marans before putting in breeding pens.

Just cull the fowl that needs to be culled, to start you can breed as many pair as you would like. Just keep records and you can breed them several different ways.
