    Breeding Delawares to the Standard of Perfection

    One last answer. No, I don't find that they feather slowly, quite the opposite. However, since I've never had any other Delaware strain I have nothing to compare them with that would be "apples to apples". They feather as fast or faster than anything else I am currently raising. I am in F6 now...

    Bob Blosl earned the revered stateus he longed for here. He was denied it elsewhere in the poultry world. edited by staff

    Which bird would be better for showing?

    Since one is a mutt & the other a Production Red neither belong in a show. I can see I was right. This forum is no different than the rest of BYC.

    Breeding Delawares to the Standard of Perfection

    "Fairies" I like that-not PC though. Another reason I'm about done with this site. I usually mean what I say & having it constantly changed is annoying.

    Breeding Delawares to the Standard of Perfection

    I rarely check this site anymore & even more rarely post. There are many people here who know much more than I do.

    Breeding Delawares to the Standard of Perfection

    For my money there's no better place to start than chicks from Kathy Bonham-if she's still selling them that is.. Mine came from her & they've done very well for me. I even got a couple on Champion Row last year. They got a lot of attention everywhere I showed them. People said they didn't know...

    A Heritage of Perfection: Standard-bred Large Fowl

    Frankly I don't ever remember seeing a good large fowl Golden Laced Wyandotte.

    APA/ABA culture for Newcomers

    Andalusians are an old breed-they were in the first APA Standard & existed long before that. If there are "health issues" singular to Andalusians it's news to me.

    The Partridge Wyandotte Thread

    It's not uncommon. There is Cochin in the background development of Wyandotte Bantams. It is however a disqualification so be careful about breeding from birds with feathers on their legs.

    Sumatra Thread!

    There are 100 weeks in a year where you live? Here on Earth there are only 52 weeks in a year.

    The Plymouth Rock Breeders thread

    As I assumed this section is shaping up to vary little from the rest of the site. There are already posts about crossing EEs with something else & several references to people's "babies". It was a nice idea, a forum for serious breeder, but it is after all BYC.

    Male or female?

    Seattle feathers?

    A Heritage of Perfection: Standard-bred Large Fowl

    What you're describing sounds more like Angel Wing to me. It happens often in waterfowl given too much protein too early. Slipped wing is when the primary feathers may overlap in reverse order or there is a tendency for theprimary feathers to be held outside the secondaries when the wing is...

    The Plymouth Rock Breeders thread

    Agreed. Candle once mid-way 7 THEN LEAVE THEM ALONE. The more handling the greater the liklihood of problems.

    The Plymouth Rock Breeders thread

    I have never had an infertile or otherwise unhatchable chicken egg blow up in the incubator. Guinea & waterfowl eggs are an other matter. Those I'm vigilant about. You only need to have one blow up once to make you not want it to happen again.

    Leghorn Breeders Thread - All Varieties

    You might want to reach out to Dan Honour [danhonour here]. He probably knows as much about breeding Buff Leghorns as anyone alive.

    Breed please?

    Silver Phoenix & in case you wondered, no, it's not a bird with show potential.

    Ancona Chicken Thread

    Yes, mottled birds tend to lighten with age. This can affect their performance in the show room but it doesn't alter their genetics so there would be no reason not to keep them as breeders if they were good as young birds.

    The Heritage Rhode Island Red Site

    You should probably check the definition of quarantine. Keeping them in the same space behind wire accomplishes nothing. Many pathogens are air bourne & wire won't stop the exchange of particulate matter.

    Won't work. The chicken mommies will invade.
