I realized I didnt have a thread for our birds and wanted to keep a little catalog as we breed and travel to shows!
We had a wonderful misty morning and took a moment to snap some pictures of our big boy Salisbury struttin' his stuff in the field!
More pictures of the babies and other birds...
Im def going to start with the Dark Cornish! Then likely a white. I try to do a sheet of multiple colors and pick a favorite to be the mascot for keychains and big items :)
Dang yeah this is a tough one. If it were mareks Id really expect them to be super thin, a little more "twitchy" or panting (since it causes nerve pain)
Sorry its tough and to have several hit by it.
It could be a small part of it, mareks is super common.
The way they are flopping over just looks off to me from what I've seen? Whats the body condition score as well? That form usually paralyzes them when they have stopped getting nutrients as well. Any possibility they got into something...
This is not Mareks. Mareks muscle movement is more spastic and erratic looking.
Do you have the nutrient breakdown/ percentages of the feed?
This could also be lack of protein/selenium/vit B.
I made some labels for my honey jars! I have honey bees but chickens are our first love, so I combined both into something for our jars :) Now they are ready to ship!
Thank you! Im hoping I can make more, I go to poultry shows and want to eventually have them printed to take there and let people enjoy! but for now its just my little shop. I wanna make it through so many more breeds!

I don't take enough time to make art for my farming and poultry raising hobbies, and when I go to APA poultry shows I often feel like I would love to see more contemporary art and goodies that help promote the hobby since it has so many roots in food security and environmentalism!
So ive been...
