You may want to keep this one a little longer and see if it crows. Looks like a female to me with the rounder crest feathers.

Here's another direction for you to take. Many folks use Frontline to treat and prevent mites of all kinds. I hear it works great for leg mites as well. Buy the version in the spray bottle which you can get from First State Vet Supply. I admit it's pricey, but this bottle will last a long...

Quote: Hey Jersey Girl, Any particular type of frizzle you are looking for? I have a black bantam cochin cockerel hatched September 12, 2010. He's the size of a cantaloupe and the most handsome, round ball of black curly fluff! His name is Diablo. I wanted to keep him but I have 8...

Gretchen, Your buff laced frizzle girls are spectacular! And I must add, the professional quality portrait photography is not hurting your auction! Awesome pics! I can't wait until Suzie Belle is a little older so she and Stanley can make me some of those fluffy pinecone chickens, ha ha...

Quote: Here is the contact information for a really great vet who is young, enthusiastic, sincerely interested and will come to your home. He works with all sorts of farm animals other than horses, and he does treat birds. He has helped me out a couple of times and I would recommend him very...

Quote: The number for the NJDA is (609) 292-3965. This is the number I call to have my flock tested for Avian Flu before I bring them to get processed. The test is a free service, but I don't know about Pullorum. They should be able to tell you what to do. Thanks for the phone number Sunny...

Hey Froggie, Are you taking that class to become a certified tester? You could probably make some decent extra bucks doing testing for folks in the local area. Have you shown birds before? May I ask who you have used, or the name of the one person you know of who does the testing in our...

Hey central NJ, I'm in Burlington. Who do y'all call when you need testing for AI & Pullorum? I am thinking about showing for the fist time this spring (with an ulterior motive of being able to sell some extra birds at the shows) and I know I will need to have my flock tested. Is there...

I have 11 bantam cochin chicks, two of which are 3 months old and the rest are 2 months old. About 2 weeks ago, I noticed that 4 of the birds had a swollen eye, either closed or nearly closed, with no detectable discharge. Most are eating well, except for one chick which has the infection in...

If you'll bring me the one in the photo to Ohio on Friday morning, I'll quick reserve a show cage. Would you mind bathing her and fluffing her up like that for me?

Hey Steph and Jason... awesome poultry party you had there! I had a great time! Brought home 5 new members for my ever growing flock. I met so many friendly folks, and the food was amazing! Does anyone know who was selling the 4 little black silkie/ polish/ cochin crosses? I bought one...

Henry's Splash Fav Rooster enjoying the weather with his girls. Scoobie as a youngster.

Quote: I just spoke with Scoobie Roo. He says he likes his girls little and round, and those fluffy neck feathers are a huge turn on for him. He asked me if he could have six for his harem, but I told him no! Two, maybe three tops. Afterall, he wouldn't want to make his first wife too...

Hello Henry and Fav fans, Just wanted to say hi and let you know that the Splash cockeral is doing great. He is filling out nicely and has a beautiful tail coming in. So I have been keeping an eye on this thread and I see you are building quite a Faverolles empire. Let me see if I am keeping...

Quote: I would like to ask the same question. Will there be a sale area like some of the other poultry shows have, or is this fair specifically for display and competition. Would anyone who's been there know?
