    Peachicks of 2017, Show Us Your Babies!

    Thank you for your reply. I feel that this will be very beneficial to others. The point of breeding (as I understand it) is to improve one's stock and in order to do that; one has to evaluate the offspring. It's rather difficult to do so without some point of photographic reference in terms...

    Peachicks of 2017, Show Us Your Babies!

    Thanks for the link. :) That's a very nice collection of the various colors for reference. I've bookmarked it. However; what I was looking for is a timeline of the same bird/s at various ages up to maturity. I should have been more specific in my initial request. Basically, what I wanted to...

    Peachicks of 2017, Show Us Your Babies!

    Hatched today~Silver Pied aka "Pie". Does anyone know of a good pictoral reference for how the coloration matures on the Silver Pied? I've searched Google without any luck. I would love to see photos from chick to adult. This is the sire (Sterling) who was purchased as a yearling. He is...

    New neighbors dog killed 3 of our flock

    Quote: Quote: First, so very, very sorry for the loss of your birds. You didn't mention which state that you are living in. However; I would suggest contacting your local dog warden (Can be found by doing an online search with your county of residence) and having the incident put on the...

    Swedish Flower Hen Thread

    Lisa. All that I'm doing here is sharing a photo. We don't breed our chickens. I don't free range. My birds are in a 5' enclosed chain link area with aviary netting. I didn't ask for an evaluation. Posts like yours are the reason that I lurk. If you are unhappy with the breeding--then I...

    Color question...

    It's not for an outside party to decide what is *valuable* in someone else's breeding program. Carriers (or in this species splits) are generally used to maintain size and conformation without getting too genetically "strung out". When one starts breeding mutations recklessly--genetically...
