    Standard bred Sumatras

    I am starting this new sumatra thread to discuss sumatras as the American Poultry Association describes them in the standard of perfection. If you are breeding to what the judges are placing in the shows (cornish heads, leghorn tails, phoenix tails, etc.) please don't post here and argue your...

    Rose Comb Legbar Thread

    I figure I should start a new thread finally for this project. I started working on a rose combed version of the cream legbar because I live in Northeastern Washington where we get to -30 in winter and over 100 in the summer. The single combed birds never do very well in this climate but rose...

    Rose comb cream legbar cockerels

    I have a few rose comb cream legbar cockerels for sale. The rose combed cream legbars are a project I started working on a couple years back because I live in a colder area where the HUGE floppy combs of the legbars get frost bite. These are considered pure as far as breeding goes, when bred to...

    Barred rocks and orpington project cockerels

    I hatched out some "Barred Rock" eggs I got at a show this spring, the parents were amazing looking but due to some issues in the brooder house, we have 3 cockerels left. All 3 have great barring but one has white in the wing bows, one is good looking but not as big as the other 2, and the other...

    The silvers are laying!

    My male silver has been wing whirring for the last couple weeks and chasing the hens like crazy. I was out doing chores this morning when I found a scrape in the ground with 2 eggs in it, they are different sizes and patterns so I am thinking each of the hens layed an egg. Pheasants are...

    Are they worth it?

    What are the pros and cons of turkeys? We have always had chickens and raised some of the broad breasted turkeys for butcher but this year I am considering adding turkeys to the farmstead. Not sure what breed or even if they will be purebred birds. How much feed do they eat? How many eggs do...

    Marmokrebs/crayfish/crawfish

    As I was feeding my little marmokreb crayfish I was realizing I still don't see them as often as I thought I would. A few years back before they became popular I managed to get 3 of them. For those that don't know what they are, they are also known as the marbled crayfish. They are a self...

    How to make feed last longer

    I have had chickens for ages now and we have always just fed the layer pellets but as y'all know feed prices are going up and up. Right now we are mixing flock raiser (18%) with layer pellets (16%) about 2/1. I was wondering what I could add to make it go further but not spend much money. I have...

    Ringneck color cross?

    First let me say this isnt about cross breeding. Now, I have a male melanistic ringneck cock. I saw some white ringneck hens on craigslist and was wondering what the cross of the two colors would look like? In other words, how does the white in ringneck pheasants work? Is it recessive or dominant?

    Pheasant crosses?

    Just a couple questions. First, I dont plan on crossing pheasant species. I changed a tire a couple weeks back and got paid with a melanistic ringneck cock. I am planning on crossing him with some chickens (polish, sumatra, leghorn, etc.) just to have funny free ranging birds. The question is...

    And so it begins...again

    Back when I was still a teen I had pheasants, just the basic amherst, golden, silver, reeves, and melanistic ringnecks. I spent all my money building awesome pens for them then when I turned 19 I had to move to the city to get a job so sold all the birds and the pens fell apart. Well this spring...

    Saltwater aquariums?

    As some of my Facebook friends know, I now have a saltwater tank. A few days ago it was still freshwater but then I decided to get a saltwater after seeing a whole setup at work for $80 (it was a 12 gallon with everything but the rock and fish) but then I couldnt think of where I would put it or...

    Thinking about moving...

    I have been thinking about moving alot lately for some reason, I think I am just bored with the Inland Northwest. I dislike the -20, 4' of snow with wind winters so I am thinking about moving southeast. I was thinking mid-northern Louisiana or another nice warm Southern state. I dont really like...

    Anyone have info about saxony ducks?

    I found some saxony ducks on craigslist and have been thinking about getting them. I have a small knowledge about them like them being dual purpose and all but I was wondering what other people's experience with them is. How good do they lay? What is their personality like?

    Tattoos

    I just got my first tattoo on Tuesday and I think I am hooked. I got my last name on my upper right arm so it can be covered by a t-shirt if needed. It was only $20, its about 1/2" tall by 3" long. It took about 5 minutes from start to finish and it didnt hurt much. I was expecting pain but it...
