Your input is invaluable. Because I am who I am, and because I have my own "strange and absurd and illogical" opinions (and because people continue to publicly say that) I will no longer be posting on the forums, not just this thread but everywhere else apart from the Swap Threads (You have to...

Thank you very much!! I'll look into that one as well, I appreciate it. I was hoping for a feed with some animal protein in it but I think I may just have to supplement for that part.

Hurray!!I'm glad they arrived safely!

Thank you. [Edited to add] It looks like it's not available where I live, but I could either a) get it shipped maybe...or b)find something very similar, so I'll look around. The stuff our TSC sells is that plant only crap and I don't want that. Sigh. I'll look around for something like this...

Wowzers...very nice! :D I like Sussexes very much (in all the varieties, I think they are lovely). Congratulations on your new additions, and I hope they arrive safe, sound, and healthy for ya! Please post pictures, I would love to see them.

What exactly is coming, Karen? I know Juniors and Junettes but what are you getting? :) Very exciting, I hope you post pictures of these for us to seeee.

That's the second time I've read that from you, and I was curious the first time and now you posted it again so I'm going to ask before my brain explodes and makes the rest of my head a sticky mess. :) ...what exactly do you feed your chicks that aren't incubated, but hatched via a broody? And...

Thank you for your input, Kathy. :) Since you're in MO, would you recommend something I could feed them in leu of the MFA? Something that has a starter and layer type would be great.

...I also have a bag of this for when they are 8 weeks: http://www.mfa-inc.com/Portals/0/Feed/Chick%20Grower%20A%20Crumble%20Medicated.pdf And *had* planned on the layer for when they are POL as well, but if this brand or type or ingredient list is not good for them I would rather know...

This is something I heard today from someone I spoke with who is highly involved with the APA. We were talking about genetics and quality and breeding and such and he popped out with this sentence that I didn't expect. "It's not just about the genes. Crap in, crap out. Lots of folk stuff...

...regard to your separate pens for egglayers and others - thank you for sharing your experiences, that's exactly what I wanted to know. I mean...*when* I get involved with this full time (not if), I want to keep the fertilized eggs and hatch them out - the thought of eating something that...

...do you do if there are no meetings in your area (or anywhere within driving distance) for that particular breed? Would it be okay to just find *any* breed meeting and sit in on that one, even if it's not the breed you're interested in? I'm bound to learn something about chickens in general...

I fully agree with this, and I'm the one who is allowed 6-10 hens and no roosters. That being said, I've made it very clear several times that my plan to preserve certain breeds, and breed for quality, won't begin for another 2 years. Granted, I'm not fond of waiting 2 years, but it's to make...

I have no idea who Junior and his Junettes are. I went back some pages here but I couldn't find anything...whatever they are I'm happy for you that they're on their way. 5 hours of sleep I got ...that's a record methinks. :]

I really like the Cubalaya, thank you for the links. I'm heading to sleep now, I hope everyone has a good Wednesday.

Is this for any breed or a certain breed? I mean, I only ask because I thought mahogany was a desired color in certain breeds? I know there is a mahogany orloff...and I thought a Buckeye's coloring was called mahogany too? [Edited to add] Completely off topic from the purple feather, but I...

Was it the black breasted red old english game fowl that you were referring to though? If there's a heritage chicken with similar coloring as those, but isn't the game fowl, I'd be very interested. :) It's a shame these games have to be dubbed. I mean I know why (it's not a discussion allowed...

...the suggestions you gave were great, and I googled them when I read about them, but could only find the one game bird I was considering before. I *definitely* like the black breasted red old english game fowl but the reason I'm trying to stay away from game birds is because eventually I'd...

...still alot available when I was checking them out). The breed I wanted to get were the Salmon Faverolles, and I still really like that breed a *ton*. Thank you for the info! =) I thought "light fowl" was a similar term for bantam but clearly it's not. Like I've said, I'm a noob and I have...
