Unfortunately my feeders and waterers outside require them to stretch their neck out. So if she were to stay she'd need special accommodation. She's a dual purpose breed so I might use her for meat. I'm not sure. Everything Ibhave read about wry neck says their neck will turn up and they will...

I took video and this is the only still i could get from that that really shows well, but here are others. She's nearly too dark to see it on a screen. The neck is short and twisted. almost like there is no neck. When walking it looks like her chest is puffed up. [/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG]

Can anyone tell me what is going on with this 6ish week old pullet? I guess I noticed there was something different about her for awhile- just thought her chest puffed out more. Today I grabbed her and inspected her neck- it seems like there isnt even a neck coming out of her body on the really...

Hi guys! I had some shipped eggs that I have been hatching. One I think came from a pullet. Its very small comparatively. Its now day 22 on incubation. I decided to check on it, because it's the only one still moving (the other I confirmed internal pip but no movement). When I candle it...

I would guess it's the inbreeding- personally. I had asked him about that and for whatever reason he doesn't seem to think that inbreeding is a problem with chickens. He hatches out a few hundred a month and is only having an issue with the cemani. I guess I wasnt sure if it is too cold here...

Hi everyone! I have a friend who got into cemanis last year. He bought someone's greenfire farm stock. However, he is having a hard time keeping his chicks alive apparently. Are there any special tips/ tricks to raising cemani or could this be a lack of genetic diversity thing? I have one...

Greenfire farms

Have you sold recently? I have searched the term "silver barnevelder" several times daily for a month. I've bought 2 dozen eggs that way and have bid on many more (but dropping out once it hits the price of the cl ad for the same eggs). Both sellers I have found have gff birds.

I'm interested in acquiring some non- Gff silver barnevelders if anyone has some available. Or if you can point me in the right direction. All that I have found have gff foundation stock- and I would just adore some new blood :)
