    Learning the Polish Standard

    I'm wanting to learn everything I can about what makes a Polish bird SQ, BQ or PQ. Does anyone have a link to a site (or sites) that show good comparison photos of what makes a bird better quality or lesser quality? Also, what qualities would one look for in a chick to help determine culls...

    Polish DQ'd at show - What is IWK?

    Saw a WC Black Polish DQ'd at a show today and the judge wrote "IWK" on the card. Just wondering what that means. Thanks.

    How long after rooster is gone will eggs be fertile?

    Just wondering what others' experiences have been with egg fertility after the rooster is no longer in the breeding pen. I have a young hen that's been away from the roo for twelve days. I keep plopping her eggs in my 'bator, and the eggs she's laid up until three days ago appear to be fertile...

    Brinsea Mini Advance Problem

    After talking up my Brinsea Mini on a few other posts I woke up this morning to the alarm sounding and discovered it's been losing heat for at least a few hours. I tried resetting it, unplugging it, etc. but the temp just keeps slowly dropping. Going to lose the eggs I just set yesterday...

    New Birds from Breeder have Lice & Coryza

    Just received two birds in the mail that I purchased from a breeder. They both have lice, especially the pullet, which is also a little underweight (not surprising), and the cockerel is showing signs of Coryza (stinky nasal discharge). I have gone ahead and added Sulmet to the drinking water for...

    Ahh, bummer!

    Recently won 8++ eggs in a BYC auction. Seller sent me 20 eggs!! Had to borrow a friend's LG b/c I didn't have enough room in my other bator b/c I had eggs set to hatch. The 20 eggs arrived in perfect condition, with no loose air cells. Candled on day 2 and could see then that 15 were fertile...

    Stupid Quail Question

    Okay, I meant that the question is stupid, not the quail, themselves! Someone gave us to quail eggs yesterday to hatch out. We know nothing about quail, having only ever had chickens and ducks. Do quail need to be caged? Will they fly away if they are not caged in? Can they free range for any...

    Obsessed with Snakes in the Coop -- want pics!

    Kind of like seeing a train wreck, I want to hear and see all of the snake stories and photos you have. For some reason, I just can't get over this bizarre curiosity about the one animal in this world I can't help but hate. So far in the yard this past seven months we've had two rat snakes, one...

    Anyone have trouble working the BYC auction system for buying eggs?

    I just agreed to pay for my auction amount but there is no other info available to tell me where and how to send the payment. The seller's inbox is too full and not accepting new messages. Wondering what typically happens. Do I wait for her to contact me, I wonder?

    Goat aborting?

    I have a goat that is about 100 days into her pregnancy. The past 2 days she has had a lot of discharge, which started out as pinkish mucus and now looks more bloody and less gelatinous. Anybody have any experience with goats that have miscarried? She seems comfortable and is running around and...

    Got great-looking silkies from Cackle!

    Just rec'd 17 (ordered 15) blue silkie chicks from Cackle and I'm very impressed. Some are vaulted, most look like they'll have nice top knots, all are bearded, none have major toe formation defects like extra toes (although five have white-tipped toes), and at least five of them have great toe...

    Silkie chicks with white-tipped toes

    Just rec'd some really nice looking silkie chicks. They are blues/splashes. Just a quick question: I would assume that those with white tips on their toes are not SQ? Someone once told me that the toes will darken to their normal color over time. Is this true? Also, do those with single combs...

    UPDATE!!! Mother-in-law thinks I'm a fool!

    Since I last posted, this breeder sent a replacement bird free of shipping charges. Since the S & H was no charge the breeder suggested we take advantage of that and buy another bird if we wanted to. We thought that would be a nice idea, especially since we felt bad that the breeder was going to...

    How much feathering should I expect on a week-old silke chick's feet?

    I have several silkie chicks with little to no feathering on their middle toes, and I'm wondering if this will fill out in the weeks to come or if "what you see is what you get"? Is a fully-feathered middle toe the norm, or is it possible to have a middle toe with patches of feather and that...
