    WetPox?

    Quote: Ugh, good to know anyway in case I ever recieve a bird with pox on its feet and decide it's some form of incurable poultry cancer and freak out. I had no idea - I've never seen pox on the feet. What are you doing for your birds? I just decided to vaccinate my entire flock and keep...

    WetPox?

    I have never seen pox on the feet before. On the second picture: is that lump on that birds tongue or what?? I just went through a bout of Pox here. Pox shows up on areas that lack feathers. When it turns into "wet pox", the lesions are internal. The first picture looks kind of like what my...

    Yay - babies! Sometimes they hatch at 21 days, sometimes earlier. I had one little stinker pop out of his egg on day 16. Surprise!

    I have always loved laced birds! I think that the blue laced red wyandottes were one of the most beautiful varieties I had seen. I just didn't personally wish to raise wyandottes as I was already raising plymouth rocks in partridge, silver pencilled, barred, mottled, black, white, blue, splash...

    Anna, thank you for the information! I have a couple of up and coming whites but their type isn't good enough for me to want to show. I am going to be actively seeking some smooth whites this year - I want to make some white silks. I'm just getting black, black and whites, and blues right now...

    One of my vet friends told me that Purina Layena is the WORST thing to feed your whites because of the marigold in it. I feed mine Purina Layena so most of my whites look like buffs right now. They are spoiled terribly and refuse to eat other brands of crumble or pellets. They seriously protest...

    Thanks Anna! I guess I missed that one somehow. I did get some super cool top secret tips but I'm nosy and I want to know what everyone else does, haha. Yes the wings get the worst! I don't know how they do it.

    Yes, I agree. At first I didn't realize that they were so genetically complex but after my first couple of hatches I began to realize you can literally get anything! Getting into this breed with an Old English breeder mindset was definitely the wrong way to go. I have to admit that at first I...

    Good luck on your eggs! I like to say that patience is a virtue I do not have. I just got a pair from Mr. Schexnayder myself - they are so pretty! I didn't get to see any pictures of them before he shipped so boy was I surprised when I got them. They're gorgeous - they will be a fine addition to...

    Hello! Does anyone have any good tips on preparing birds for show? Like washing white birds, fixing twisted feathers, getting that nasty dirt out from under the scales on their legs (I use an old tooth brush on mine but there's gotta be something better), etc? Thanks!
