Continuing prayers for Glenn coming from my family, prayer group, bible study and many others in Texas and the BYC as well. We are asking our Lord for a FULL recovery. HIS PROMISES ARE YES AND AMEN.

Sorry for the confusion. Let me say right now, I have NO intention of patenting animals or anything else. Wrong use of that text for lack of a better word. Basically if I created a breed that had desirable traits, how would I gain recognition for the breed and how would I go about getting...

I have a roo named 'duck', a roo named 'Mr. Troublesworth' and a blue heeler named D.O.G. (its pronounced deeohgee).

Then where do Easter Eggers, Sex Links, Productions, Delawares, Ameraucanas, Chanteclers, YES EVEN our beloved Marans as well as MANY, MANY other breeds that are a cross of two or more breeds come from? The Marans was bred from Game, wild landrace and imported chickens. The basis for my...

Quote: saladin- this was pretty much how I would have responded to your insulting post as well. The BYC rules state NO TROLLING, CAUSING CONFLICTS, ETC. YOU HAVE FLAMED FELLOW BYCers REPEATEDLY IN 36 DIFFERENT POSTS CONCERNING NEW BREEDS. IF YOU HAVE NOTHING PRODUCTIVE TO THE FORUM TO POST...

OK, this is purely a question born of curiosity. I apologise if posted in the wrong section. Anyhow, I was reading a book on chicken breeds the other day and noticed that several breeds are actually a cross of two or more breeds. So I got to wondering, could a BYCer actually create a new breed...

Thanks for the reply! We had some birds that were producing off-color offspring is what I was referring to in my post.

I posted this in the Marans thread but got no replies. I have been considering introducing some "new blood" into my Marans breeding program, however I am skeptical of the quality of stock that is offered by some breeders. My birds come mostly from Bev Davis' line of TRUE French Marans. I also...

I have been considering introducing some "new blood" into my Marans breeding program, however I am skeptical of the quality of stock that is offered by some breeders. My birds come mostly from Bev Davis' line of TRUE French Marans. I also have a few Wade Jeane C1 and C2 line Black Copper Marans...

I miss CO so much. I grew up near Shaniko, ( I know SMALL TOWN, right?). We lived a completely self sufficient lifestyle, although we never really thought of it as such. We raised Red/white face and Black/white face Angus and Holsteins for beef, chickens for eggs and meat, sheep for meat and...

I am getting close! The breeder says he will have stock available 10/07. I will also be purchasing 6 Black Copper Marans hens, 6 Blue Copper Marans hens, 6 Splash Marans hens, 6 Wheaten Marans hens, and 4 Black Copper Marans roosters as well as 4 Blue Copper Marans roosters on 10/17. These birds...

I am finally starting a totally new flock. I have found a few SHOW QUALITY breeds that I hope to continue breeding to produce large eggs, and bred to standard. I just got 3 Black Copper Marans hens and 3 Barnevelder hens on 09/24. They are bred to produce large, dark #4 colored eggs and are...

Texas is not that concerned about a small number of birds. I have brought chickens back from Mannsville, OK several times, and I have even brought some back from Mississippi. Just make sure you have NPIP documents, bill of sale, breeder info, and that they are healthy. The checkpoint is to be...

With this thread I hope to give some advice to newbies who are setting their first batch of hatching eggs, are considering incubating, or who might have questions that pertain to incubating. 1.) BE PATIENT. I cannot stress this enough. SoOoO many times I hear of newcomers who 'sabotage' what...

I once had a roo break the tip of his beak off. We fed him cream of wheat for a few days and then he was fine. It doesn't appear you hen is seriously injured. Just baby her and the beak should heal.

Does this roo offer lessons? You could call it 'corrective therapy' and charge $250 per hour like a therapist! Looks like he disapproves of loudmouth MILs too.

I would love, love, LOVE to hatch some Marans, or get some chicks. I have looked elsewhere to no avail. PLEASE HELP I WANT SOME Marans BADLY.

I am an expert by no means, but I will share the method I use. I free-range my birds in a 14' X 30' 'hoophouse' that I call my 'Chicken Quonset Hut". When I introduce new members to the flock I have a 10' x 12' 'pen' that I put inside the hoophouse. The new chickens are kept in this for 14...

I have put the word out to all my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ to include Glen in thier prayers, I have emailed my church, and I asked my FB friends to pray as well. He will be in my prayers, and the prayers of many, many others as well. Prayer is a VERY powerful things. Matthew 18:20...
