    Breeding Delawares to the Standard of Perfection

    I have too many Delaware chickens and need to process some for eating. They are 5-6 months. I want to keep the best for eggs and production of meat birds. I will be culling a rooster and several hens. My question is, what should I look for in desirable body type characteristics for the ones...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    Here is a picture of my Ameraucana, Sadie, who went broody twice last year and is broody again. I love her to pieces, she is such a good momma. Last year, she hatched some chicks in the middle of winter and they were very healthy little fellas, more so than the chicks I hatched in the...

    I have pullets from Waltz's Natural Ark in Colorado that I got last spring. They are just starting to lay beautiful olive green eggs. If you are willing to wait until later winter, I can provide you some eggs, or chicks after I hatch some. I want to let them settle into laying a bit, then...

    Buff Sussex

    Here are recent pictures of my buff sussex, the rooster and two hens. They are large birds, docile and friendly. It's hard to get pictures of them because they won't stay far enough away from me for me to take the picture. I love my little flock of Buff's! For Sam3 Abq, I got them from...

    Heritage & Exhibition Turkey Thread

    I have a question about cooking a heritage turkey. I just processed my 1 1/2 yr old Bourbon Red hen. Is this turkey old enough that it would be better cooked in a pressure cooker like I do my older chickens, or can I roast it in the oven and at what temperature? Thanks, ahead of time for any...

    Isbar thread

    I crossed my Americauna hen with my Welsummer roo with the specific goal of seeing what color the eggs will be. They are about 4 months old and I think I have 2 hens, so we'll see. I'm thinking they will be green. I have Isbars (2 roos & 3 hens) that are also about 4 months old so I will...

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    This is Cora, the Americauna, taking her little chicks for a stroll. I don't have the heart to tell her that I switched eggs on her and these are not her biological offspring. She thinks they are!
