    Da' Cute and Cuddly Call Duck thread!

    Hello everyone! I got redirected and will repost here. I'm looking for some white call duck breeders. We went to the Texas Bluebonnet Classic a few weeks ago and saw several really nice birds there, but couldn't find a soul who could point us to a breeder or exhibitor for any of them. Maybe...

    Where to find White Call Ducks in Texas

    We went to the Texas Bluebonnet Classic a few weeks ago and saw several really nice birds there, but couldn't find a soul who could point us to a breeder or exhibitor for any of them. Maybe it was bad timing, who knows - it would be nice if exhibitors could leave business cards in front of...

    Brahma or???

    LOL! Thanks for posting my pic Kayella! You beat me to it. You guys are right - it does look like a Brahma roo - he doesn't crow yet - all of his other siblings have been crowing for about a month. This bird is larger and heavier than my 1.5 year old Speckled Sussex roo. Going to be a big boy.

    Best age to process fryer leghorns - frying pan special

    I will answer my own post (LOL) since no one seems to have done this before with the frying pan special from McMurray Hatchery. Since a lot of folks use this website for educational purposes, maybe this will help someone else later on down the road. I processed the birds this past weekend at...

    Best age to process fryer leghorns - frying pan special

    I bought the 'Frying Pan Special' with my last order of chicks from McMurray which consist of male white leghorns. Leghorns are smaller and more lean so they recommended just raising them with the pullets I bought and then process them later. Was curious to know when others processed their...

    Showing Eggs at Poultry Shows

    Does anyone here show eggs at the poultry shows? How do you get into it? Do you have or know of any article/publication/wise old friend who has tips on showing eggs? I was lurking on another forum and the folks were just having a blast preparing and collecting certain eggs for an upcoming...

    Hamburg thread!

    Love the pics - I ordered some SSH from McMurray when I placed my order for fryers to be delivered later in February...just for fun, because I love their polka-dotted look. They will be a nice addition to my already eclectic flock of chickens.

    Parrot sitting - have some questions

    Parrots need to be warmer than the 60's - I keep mine at a temp of 72 (where I like it ) and they have heated perches because even that isn't warm enough. Mine like it at a minimum of 76! If she gets chilled, she will get ill. If they are too cold, they won't eat or drink either. Keep her...

    Post pics of stock from Ideal Poultry please !!

    I ordered a Cubalaya male and got something that has yet to be decided (altho he was as mean as the devil and he didn't make it to his first birthday)- some people here and others who live near me say he's a cross between all the above (aseel, malay, cubalaya) which could be quite possible since...
