    Black Spanish young turkeys for sale (Ohio)

    Hi and thanks for the response! I'm an hour northeast of Columbus in Knox County, so it sounds like we might be fairly close. No worries about waiting until after Thanksgiving--I understand entirely! I'm running a pair of chocolates, and 2 pairs of assorted turkeys from Porter's in a separate...

    Golden pheasant genetics question

    And the peach splash cock. He's a bit friendlier, but I know the pix still aren't great between the lighting and the fact that he's also in molt. Sorry about that! I'll try for better shots over the weekend.

    Golden pheasant genetics question

    Here's the yellow golden hen. I apologize for the poor picture quality--she is a bit skittish and does not want to stand still. Also she looks more than a bit moth eaten at the moment because she's molting....

    Golden pheasant genetics question

    Yeah, I figured genetics might get complicated pretty quickly. And that's ignoring the possibility of random mutations. I should be able to get pix of the pair later today, so I hope that will be useful for you. I raise Shetland sheep, and the genetics of color inheritance and expression are...

    Golden pheasant genetics question

    Aha, that helps regarding juvenile feathering! Thank you! The offspring are about a month old now so I will watch closely to see what sort of feathering shows up. I will get pix of the adults soon, I promise. I'm still cleaning up after the thunderstorms that hit earlier in the week, and runs...

    Golden pheasant genetics question

    When we talk about genetics we run into phenotype (what they look like) vs. genotype (what they really are genetically). The hen LOOKS like a yellow golden, but who knows. The cock looked like a yellow as a juvie, but the adult feathers are peach splash (anyone know if peach splash mimics yellow...

    Golden pheasant genetics question

    Thanks for the replies! I'll try to get pix tonight if it stops raining and the run isn't too muddy.... I'm not expecting peach or peach splash out of the offspring, though given that the cock looked like a yellow until he got his adult feathers this summer I guess anything is possible. I am...

    Golden pheasant genetics question

    Hi everyone. So I have a question regarding golden pheasant color genetics. I bought a young pair last fall at Ohio National last fall that were listed as yellow golden pheasants. They were still in juvenile plumage, but had the paler color I associate with yellow goldens. Fast forward to this...

    Official BYC Poll: The Worst Predator

    I'm grateful I don't have to deal with anything larger than coyotes here in Ohio.... Had to patch the run roof wiring this afternoon--a raccoon got in (fortunately the coop itself was empty while I'm poisoning the rats), dug into the floor after the poison, ate it and died (I HATE poison...

    Official BYC Poll: The Worst Predator

    Believe it, rooapalooza. I've lost more birds to raccoons than to all other predators combined. Mink would be a distant second, followed by foxes, rats, and hawks in that order.

    Official BYC Poll: The Worst Predator

    Yes, mink will kill anything they can get at if they get in. And carcasses don't seem to lure them into traps here--live birds seem to be the ticket. They're hard to get rid of, that's for sure!

    Official BYC Poll: The Worst Predator

    I'm dealing with a mink here this week. So far it's gotten a couple of bantam ducks and several of my roller pigeons, I've moved the birds out to temporary arks and have traps and poison down.... Worst predators by far around here are still raccoons, with their ability to get into pretty much...

    silkie cockerels in central Ohio

    So looks like you're east of Coshocton? Coshocton is about an hour's drive for me, so we'd need to find a location to meet somewhere between our locations.

    Comment for most gentle breed and best personality

    Welsh Harlequins and Campbells are great egg ducks as well. I've had both breeds and found them to be friendly and personable (though the Australian Spots are still my favorite for personality. I'm partial to the Harlequins simply because they're a pretty duck to go along with good laying...

    Sourcing Langshans

    He's Joe Oakley (also the vice president of the American Langshan Club). He doesn't hatch a lot of birds or show much, so his points standings look low, but his birds are typey and consistent. Very nice person to talk with, and he's willing to share what he knows if you're willing to learn. He's...

    Using geese to protect your flock

    My Pilgrim geese DEFINITELY still possess their protective instincts, especially when they have goslings. Normally they're pretty friendly (for geese anyways), but all bets are off if anyone or anything tries to mess with their babies. My gaggle seems to do communal nesting and brood rearing...

    Shetland geese

    Thank you! Ohio National is right in my backyard, so to speak, so I'll be contacting them to see if they're bringing birds this fall.
