    Color experiment

    I was hoping some of the geneticists (or someone who has done it) out there might have an idea. I have a tom who is a black x narri and 2 hens that are Bourbon Reds. (plus the BR tom but he is definitely second fiddle in the order). Come spring, I was wondering what color pattern(s) I may end...

    Behavior query

    I noticed this tonight. These BR are 2 months old, and tonight I watched them all puff up, spread tails and stretch necks out, not fully but obviously out. Not strutting as there was no wing dragging and the tails were parallel to the ground. All 3 were doing it. Any thoughts on what this...

    Pre-cooked

    Ok, so I had one poult hatch out the eggs I had and I figured I would get some chicks to "train" him. Well, my mother has banties so I had the bright idea to get some so there would be a place for the "trainers" to go when they all got old enough. All good for 5 weeks. I head to work one...

I would like to know what other distinguishing characteristics one could use to tell them apart, eye color maybe? We had the BBW last year and the batch that we got this year aren't "performing" at the...

    Turkey hissing

    I've got one of my 2 mo old BBW that seems to like hissing at me. Of course, it is doing things it wants to do and I don't want it to (roosting outside the coop, running around outside the fence). It is only the one doing it,none of the others do even being picked up. Just that one's attittude?

    Diet Change

    Well I moved this years BBW to their summer camp where they get sun, exercise and grazing. My question relates to whether or not I should be concerned about the fact their stools are a little "loose". They are still brownish, but seem a little watery, not liquid but not mostly solid. I'm...

    Query about feed consumption

    I raised the BBW this year, at 16 weeks they were eating 100 pounds of feed a week plus grazing. Will the heritage breeds eat less? Will the midget whites eat proportionately less? I'm trying to plan for next year as I want to have some of both. Different coops/runs for different reasons. BBW...
