    Pekin Duck Club!

    We don't have any right now but as soon as we start getting more (only getting about one a day right now) I would be willing to hatch a couple for you.

    Icelandic Chickens

    I am not exactly sure were Heathsville, Va is but I live in PA but work in DC and there is a breeder up here by me. if you are not too far from DC I could get some eggs and bring them into DC, maybe you could do the same for me from one of the breeders you got yours from. Only thing is if you...

    so would you say that crests are quite common in Icelandic? And do you know if it is a dominant treat?

    Icelandic Chickens

    I obtain six Icelandic chicks recently and it appears all of them are going to be crested to some degree. does that mean that all of spring will be crested? I know in ducks this is a genetic mutation that is undesired but I also heard that in chickens does not carry the same problems as in...

    Research of you would like I should have eggs and/or poults in the spring, the only problem being you would have to get them super early Jan/Feb to have one big enough to eat Thanksgiving 2016.

    Just to throw it out there, I have Beltsville Small White Turkey's. The are about the same as a midget white but if you are worried about the MW being to small they might be something to consider. My Tom that I butchered last year was a little under 20 lb, before processing. So they are a...

    I would say rough estimate 8-10 cords. Most of the are 16-18 inches in diameter and a couple feet long or smaller but there are one or two that are 2 or 3 feet in diameter and six to ten feet long. You could take whatever you want

    17403, I have tried and get people that say they are going to come get it and don't show up. I think a lot of people are put of by the larger logs.

    I am a ways away but if you are really worried about it I have piles of wood that I want gone(don't have a wood burning stove). It's your if you want to come get it. There are probably to cords split, another cord ready to split and probably another 4 or 5 cords still in large logs that would...

    Backyard Brahmas!!

    I am not an expert but I would say the first is a pullet, the second cockerel purely on the difference in feathering, the first appearing to have way more feathers. Also the patterning on the first is correct for a female the second one doesn't really have enough feathers to say much about the...

    Icelandic Chickens

    I can't speak specifically to chickens as I have never had any that were crested, I did however hatch a crested Pekin duck from two non-crested parents so I imagine that it can happen in chickens as well. I am no expert but this is my experience. @Rafter H Farms. Don't feel bad about the...

    Icelandic Chickens

    I don't have any links for it and it very well could be misinformation, most the information I get or read is from this website. There could be(are) a few breeds that it might be a desired trait but I from my understanding as a rule that is hor it works.

    Icelandic Chickens

    Any fowl with the crested gene should not be mated to another crested it causes almost 100% mortality, the ones that survive generally have neurological problems. To get crested you should breed a crested to a non crested and would get approx 50/50 crested to non. While I am at it, I purchased...

    Beltsville Small White Turkey

    From what I have heard/know is that if you have blackhead you would have to house them separate and keep the turkeys somewhere the chickens have not been for years. But if blackhead is not present then they could live happily together. I have housed my chickens and turkeys together for a...

    Anyone near the York are interested in some Magpie ducks, we thought we were missing a hen a while back but we found her under a wood pile sitting on a nest. No idea how many eggs but should find out early next week

    New Magpie Thread!!!!

    I have a magpie hen sitting on some eggs, when I found the nest there were ten eggs in it, she start sitting two or three days after that so I am not exactly sure how many eggs are under her. I have disturbed her since she started but the eggs are due to hatch next week.

    Backyard Brahmas!!

    Do you disagree that there is some buff coloring showing through or is this something you see occasionally with darks, I have not seen that before.

    Backyard Brahmas!!

    I would agree the cock is probably a dark Brahma. If I am seeing it correctly that the hem has some brown/tanish coloring then I would assume she is some kind of mix, a dark hen should be silver based with black penciling so I am guessing she is mixed possibly with a buff brahma, but I am no...
