    I just love my BLRW's! I've got breeders from Jerry & Rebecca Foley and Jesse Paul of Paul's Poultry. They are an extremely sweet breed! And beautiful! Great layers of nice large light brown eggs and they handle our harsh Minnesota winters quite well. One thing I'm learning is they have a...

    OK So we need a bigger Brooder! Thanks to all you good people on the BYC site here's what I came up with: It is 3'x4' and 3' high 1' off the ground which as it turned out is perfect height for me to sit in my chair and watch them! Both top panels are hinged and can be latched together...

    Hi Jim Not sure how much this guy weighs. But I call him Big Sir if thats any indication. Only way to know for sure is to climb on the scale holding him but then I guess I'd have to know how much I weigh! Fertility checked out better than I expected for my last hatch but still not 100%. I...

    forum reorganization

    Quote: I say let em chat. It's how the friendships on here have been established BUT give us a tool so that those that are looking for some information specific to the breed can find it relatively easily within the 200+ pages of the thread. How difficult would it be to set up a search...

    Oh oh I checked the pics on the site and the pic shown for the hen is actually my big daddy rooster pictured as a cockerel! Here is a nice pic of a hen you can use: That greenfire rooster is her daddy and she is also a cross between the greenfire line and the canadian line. They are...
