I am just below TorC, if you manage to find SFs, I'd be interested in getting a pair or trio from you come spring. I've been looking for them as well as Blanc de hotots.
I took in some very anti-social chickens that I am sure have vent gleet & quite possibly worms. My instinct is to make a pumpkin/live culture yogurt mixture with added acidophilus. Day 1, feed mixture, days 2,3& 4 yogurt/acidoph only, day 5 mixture with acv in water daily. Thoughts?
Azure has really upped the drop points BUT you can become a "Drop leader" & set up your own drop place.... Monthly orders from entire group only have to equal $550 ($50 min per person) & if you don't hit the 550 they just let you know your drop won't be shipped for that month. It's worth a shot...
I know this thread is old but I wanted to tell you that I started using Azurestandard.com to get organic, non gmo ingredients to "build" my own feed. I also have a maggot bucket set up (reduces flies & provides a never ending protein supply)
My chickens are on a no soy, organic, non gmo diet...
I lost my best Roo last week & a couple girls.. I plan on putting some eggs in the bator but would really like to either find a few unrelated eggs or a young/juvenile Roo to add to my swedes.
My Roo is very docile & gets bullied by 2 of my girls so I need a "nice guy"
If anyone has anything...
They are Gorgeous! None of mine have very much red or orange, they are all in the Blue spectrum & with less white than I'd like...Gives me something to work on...
I don't want "lap" chickens... not really my style. I would like to get close enough to them to take some pics. It's looking like I might have to buy a new camera with a better zoom lens. I'd really like to get opinions on them & see how they compare to my thoughts... I can't imagine they could...
I'm a little worried! My new flock of SFH have been here for almost 2 weeks & no eggs at all yet! They are very skittish & get upset over the tiniest thing * we are still working on their palace so I am hoping that is the reason for the no laying...
No signs of Molting...
Skittish as in if...
I have not ordered from here but He was recommended by a couple of friends. He has several rare breeds & a goo reputation from what I've read... http://www.papaspoultry.com/store/page19.html
Funny, After their Beauty, I was drawn to how well they do in the Heat!
I just got my flock but once they are settled in & laying Well, I will gladly Ship eggs to help out & in turn get critiques on what my birds produce...

I just read these colors here: http://www.albc-usa.org/cpl/dorking.html I also found an old add for a black trio.. as I said I am just now starting to even look into them, while my swedes are settling in to the quarantine condo. I do like the Red but have never been a huge fan of White or...
HAHA! Hubby is great about a ton of things.... Helping me get pictures of anything other than our grandson is NOT one of them. I'm hoping I can get my daughter to come over tomorrow or the next day to help. I had a massive right brain stroke 2 years ago and though my brain damage is much less...
