    The American Paint Silkie

    Wow, I just found this thread, and there's no way I'll be able to read every single page of this. So, here's what I know, and maybe someone can help me figure out what's going on... I have a rooster I bought last fall, which is blue and buff. I was told he was the offspring of a buff hen and...

    Hi again!!

    Hey! to everyone! Thanks for the welcome! I poked at a lot of things with a stick last night, also figured out how to edit my old pages. It's SO much simpler now than when I first set them up! I just couldn't figure out how to delete old pages that were no longer relevant, so I just wiped...

    Hi again!!

    I've been gone about 6 or 7 years. Since then I've had both my kids graduate and move from home, the hubby broke his leg, I've gone back to school, thought we were moving at one point and didn't, had severe financial issues, but now are on the recovering side of things and trying to take it...

    Hi again!!

    Thanks, y'all! I'm sure someone will pipe up...or not. LOL I'm trying to navigate all the new bells and whistles. It's like going to visit your mom's house, and she's rearranged all the furniture.

    Dove with laying issues

    I have two female ringneck doves I keep, and every couple of weeks they each lay a pair of eggs. The past few months, my white one has been having issues when laying eggs. She becomes lethargic for about a day or two, will sit in the bottom of the cage rather than the nest box, and won't feed...

    Medicated feed toxicity?

    I don't think so, because I had bought other bags of the same feed later on in the year, and none of the poults or adults showed any signs of illness. I also use layer pellets and chick starter from the same company, and have never had a problem with them. I'm beginning to wonder if it might...

    Advice for escaping turkeys

    I ended up putting some old wire cattle panels over my 16 x 16 x 8 pen. Mine figured out how to get out of the poultry netting.

    Medicated feed toxicity?

    I looked at the Thiamine deficiency, and it doesn't really describe it. The symptoms are nearly exactly dead on for AE, which is why I thought that was what they had.

    Medicated feed toxicity?

    I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this... Back in 2008, I had an issue with my poults getting sick and dying off before two weeks of age. I'm not sure what made me think it, but I suspected that the game starter feed that I was giving them were making them sick, so I stopped giving it...

    Farmhouse Eggs -- what breed?

    I guess I could email them and ask them. They probably are some kind of production breed, because as you said, they'd have to be pretty heavy layers to be able to keep up with demand. I've never had Marans, so I had no idea how well they actually lay. My BLRW are dual purpose also, and they...

    Anyone make home made eggnog?

    I love homemade eggnog. It's so rich and creamy! Mom and Granny always made it fresh. The first time I tasted the pre-made stuff in a carton, I nearly gagged.

    Farmhouse Eggs -- what breed?

    Does anyone know what breed Farmhouse Eggs uses as laying stock? My husband was surprised at how dark the eggs were when he bought them. I'm guessing that they're Marans since they're the most popular, but since they're not especially dark, I'm wondering if they may be something else. I...
