    Found Pigeon

    I know this is rather old, but are you sure it's a girl? I don't recall females having that much iridescence on their neck. If I had to guess by one picture, I would guess male. Also, I just want to cringe and laugh at the well meaning neighbor. How is it that anyone doesn't know what a...

    destruction and disposal orders HELP

    From what I understand, one of the reasons this strain is so virulent is because it's a hybrid of two different strains. A mutation of this hybrid would go one of two ways, it would be much more destructive OR it would be less invasive.. Much like the first strains of HIV were more virulent, and...

    destruction and disposal orders HELP

    Ummm.... This is not the case at all. I have NEVER heard of anyone getting a knock on the door for a rabies follow up. Best case scenario, you get a postcard from the vet, but then they send you a postcard to remind you to trim your animals nails.. And nothing is ever done about the lack of...

    Cream Legbar Working Group: Standard of Perfection

    I can understand when a topic at hand is not to your liking, and if you want to talk combs, and tail angles or beak length, by all means, do so, I am sure there are more than a number of people that would be happy to engage you in that conversation. But I'm sorry, as tedious as you may find the...

    I am the first to admit that I am a novice at not only chickens, but this breed in particular. But I am not a novice at breeding and showing. Because I do have a passion for these birds and a mind that wants to learn, but does not take anything at face value from anyone (Had I been there when...

    Type as a whole is the number one quality that breeders should be aware of, I am in total agreement with that. That and blue eggs!! lolol. The body type, to me, and I could be erroneous in thinking this way, is the silhouette. The rest is the color fill. Breed type is just as important as color...

    Quote: Quote: Wow is right. Betta fish. A cello can win cello class even if it's a red loss marble. Genetic grizzles have won Marble class, genetic marbles have won butterfly class. Most winning HMs are HMPK crosses, I have taken BOS with a HM that was a multi generation VT/HMPK cross, and...

    Actually.. No. Chickens are exactly like one animal I have bred and shown. But don't forget that phenotype is based on genotype. An animals looks are based on their genes. Yes, you can get a "cream" looking bird without the ig gene, but this breed is based on cream. If someone could take a...

    I know this is an old post (almost a year ago), but the link illustrates some thoughts I have had. Assuming you have a cream pair, and they are indeed both cream, there is absolutely no way for you to not get cream babies from them. Cream is a double recessive, for it to express you must have...
