    Heritage Large Fowl - Phase II

    While the SoP is the book to have, Using a older copy can be useful, but not always up to date with the current requirements for a certain breed. But there are some breeds not many that have not changed for over a hundred years. Take Buckeyes when added back in 1905 what was written still...

    The Buckeye Thread

    Going off the sickles would mean that you could have a longer back then which could be a fault on type correct? If using the pic that JoshU posted the starting point for zero degree to get a 40 degree or 30 degrees then the back would have to be longer that what may be expected for the line to...

    So who's ready for the storm to hit starting tomorrow? Western half of the state should see snow, but more snow to the laurel highlands and southern parts of the state (western half) and as you go north less snow and I believe once past the mountains should change over to rain. Going to be...

    Great question Arielle, I often wonder the same thing. Guess it is up to the person who is doing the hatching and how they have their set up going. In the northern states like New England area and such I would guess starting in Jan to Feb and maybe even early March would be a good start...

    Warm to hot water will always freeze faster than cold water. It has been proven too many times in the past by kids in school and then trying it at home as well. heated dog bowls work great for keeping water non-frozen.

    The Buckeye Thread

    I think at times some of the photos that have been shown on social media of birds having what would be considered low wing carriage,may result in heat issues. It seems that at times when these where being shown by others that it was during the summer months and the birds were not holding their...
