    Will they roll?

    Check out this video. (I hope this threads goes through.) You can't get these from mixes. And fancy colors are not the factor. Find a breeder who raises performing Birmingham Rollers. And remember to have fun!

    Will they roll?

    If you want rollers, you need to stick with rollers. Fantails are beautiful, but rollers perform. Try to find someone who will let you watch them roll, the buy a couple pairs. They are AMAZING! Keep your rollers and your fantails separate.

I had emailed the distributor and got two different answers...

    My German Shephard ate 2 chickens!

    I had a bird killing dog. He did not stop until he finished off the flock. Maybe what you need to do is let the animals take turns. One day let the chickens out, the next day let the dog out. As long as your cage is sturdy enough against your powerful GSD, that sounds like a solution to me. It's...

    Buffalo Gnats...

    I am new here. I have had chickens years ago and am starting again. No fancy breeds, just laying hens. But the flies are horrendous. I also have a garden with tons of gnats. I also have a pond that in the summer I expect mosquitoes to return. I am hoping to have a more enjoyable backyard if the...
