    I just have to think through that Australorp stands for "Australian Orpington", hence Austral-orp. I literally have go through it in my head every time :)

    Some updates on the capons. Interestingly, I've notice how "feminine" the crests look on some of the capons. Capon Capon Capon and intact Intact

    This chart has a typo. Single comb is rrpp (if you look you can see the box they have it in even is under the rp x rp cross, so impossible to get Rrpp.

    Ugh, you people are killing me! Now I may have to keep one or two just for curiosity's sake. And if i do that I have to keep an intact one or two to compare!!! :) I looked closely today, and without exception, every capon has significantly less red coming through.

    I have (legal :) ) access to sevoflurane, so I can cheat. The original 3 I did, one died 3 days after surgery from massive air under the skin that showed up overnight. Not sure what happened ( if he was to active, or if it was my technique). I now keep them separated for 4 days afterwards. In...

    These are crosses between my orginal imports and my Rees line. At the moment I didn't want to keep any crosses, because I am trying to expand both lines, then start a spiral breeding program. Also, I have to caponize at about 4-6weeks, so it's really hard to pick the good ones out :) I am really...

    Here are a few comparisons of the capons and intact males of the same age. The capons have orange legbands. At this age ( around 12 weeks i think) the size is about the same. I don't think capons grow much faster, but in theory you can grow then longer before they get tough. They generally do...

    Anyone have any interest in some CLB capons? I have 6 I've done so far (all humanely done) as an experiment to compare them to intact boys I'm growing out to eat. But honestly I don't eat that much farm raised chicken (the store bought is just so good and cheap *hangs head in shame* ). So if...

    Isbar thread

    I have black chicks both with and without the yellow chins. It tells you one of the genes they are caring, but now I will have to look it up. :)

    Does anyone have any pullets or hens for sale currently? Will pay for shipping. Or chicks, but would prefer sexed birds

    Jersey Giants thread for pictures and discussion

    Here's my 2 cents, for whatever it's worth First, keep in mind he is still very young for a Jersey. He has a lot of filling out and growth left to do. But over all I really like him. He has a nice long, level back and has the rectangular body shape you really want. I would like a little deeper...

    No, avoiding green will make no difference. The green layers can still carry two blue genes. The brown genes ( which turn a blue egg to green) are totally independent of the blue vs. White gene.

    Showing unrecognized breeds/colors

    This is a really old thread. We already show Jersey Giants and are working on Dark Cornish bantams. My Legbars are being bred to the proposed SOP, because that is what sells right now. My Isbars are being selected for production and egg color ( because the lines that fit the purest description...

    To be honest, these boys look like they have only one copy of the barring gene, so are crossbreeds. This would explain why the seller might have thought they were girls ( because it's the double barring gene that causes the light head spot in boys). It might have been an honest mistake ( didn't...
