    4-H Showmanship tips please?

    Good point spangledcornish! However we cover everything that a judge could ask of a showman. Most may not do walking, or examination, but it still important to know how to do those things =)

    Poultry Showmanship Instructional DVD

    Myself and a few amazing showmen have put together a step by step video teaching both new showmen, and advanced showmen alike how to master showing your bird. I wish we could give this away for free, but we spent a lot of money producing this. It is our goal to create even more videos, and...

    Soft clear eggs??

    Totally understanding that this is scary! Since the egg shell is made up of 95% calcium corbonate (same ingredient found in sea shells, coral, pearls...), it is imperative that a laying hens diet be supplemented with it. Glad to see you are already on the right track with feeding =) Scratch...

    hen passed "meat lump"? Caution, gross pic's

    Well, sometimes the body rejects certain organs. There are also cases where hen's undergo a "sex change" of a sort, where they either pass the ovary, or it goes into a state of regress. While they don't actually undergo a complete sex change, they will stop laying eggs and take on some of the...

    Commerical Hen???

    Wow that is so wrong! It is supposed to be all anonymous. That is sad that you are not welcomed by your local 4-H and FFA!! Around here I would kick some butt if you were treated that way

    Soft clear eggs??

    Your hen seems to have a Calcium deficiency! My first question is what are you feeding? She should be getting a LAYER CRUMBLE or PELLET. This feed contains the required ingredients for egg production. Second, give your hens a Calcium supplement! Either CRUSHED egg shells (ensure they are...

    Commerical Hen???

    Well, the reason why 4-H and FFA usually do better is because of the leaders that teach the kids everything they need to know, and even help them find really good birds! In my experience a lot of 4-H and FFA leaders are also breeders, so the kids in their project already have a step up on the...

    hen passed "meat lump"? Caution, gross pic's

    This looks like the reproductive tract from the Uterus to the infundibulum (see below). As you can see it does not look like its just the Ovary. If you see any bleeding, take the bird to the vet! I hope all is well with your flock
