So I am just fine buying chicks from feedstore, but DS 10 is dedicated to hatching out with
our broody hens. So we have done it 2x now with not a lot of sucess.

He told me that to breed the frizzles, you have to one frizzled parent and one non frizzled parent.
So I have some questions:
If I...

I had posted about 18 months ago as to my dilema as to treat or leave alone my 20 yr old morab's sarcoids. She had a single one on her ear (looked like a fat feeding tick), to 3 in one year.
