    Tell me about Minorcas?

    Anyone have any? What do I need to know when looking for SQ stock? (aside from what is listed on the breed reference) I looked for the thread and didn't see one, so if there is one that would be great too. Thanks

    The kids and birds did great at the County Fair!!

    The girls had a very good fair this year. We got 3rd in Horse showmanship, purple and blue in bucket calf project, and have many items going to state fair. BUT the poultry was the highlight. This is our 3rd year in poultry. The first year we had no clue what we were doing, showmanship or...

    Wanted hatching eggs or chicks-- LF SQ Cochins and/or jap bantams

    Thats about the gist of it. I am looking for some decent cochins, black, white or blue to go with my reserve grand pullet and some jap bantams to go with my top purple hen. Shipping is likely a must unless you live in NE Nebraska, IA, or SD nearby. Thanks

    Chicks aren't thriving

    I have 2 of 11 chicks that are just not doing well. At first I just thought they were smaller than the RIR chicks and a bit less active, but now I have decided that's not it. I have 3 hamburg chicks, now its quite obvious that the 2 in question are smaller, weak, and quite lethargic. I have...

    Recommend a good incubator please...

    We have been using an old "see through hen" 60's incubator. It works fine, we have a decent hatch rate (between 80-90) but we want to be able to set more and this only sets 20 if your using smaller eggs. We want to find something cheaper, like under $100. Any recommendations or definately...

    Hamburgs?

    Anyone have any? We just went and picked up chicks and got 10 RC rir's, 3 hamburgs and a blue cochin. I know about the others but I have no experience with hamburgs. My daughter fell in love with them and would not take no for an answer. Thanks for any info. I looked for a hamburg thread...

    Mixing my rc RIR with my single comb hatchery RIR's?

    We expiriment with our layers quite a bit. We have a really nice rc RIR roo and a bunch of hatchery RIR hens, if we cross them is that like blasphemy or would I possibly improve my layers to include a bit more size and color? What about the comb? Currently the ladies are in with 5 roos of...

    What do you think of these reds? lots of pics, sorry

    Here is Mr and Mrs Red. (my daughter is an awefull namer, last year her rooster was "Rooster" and she had a hen named "Omlette", also a bucket calf named "T-Bone") This is the hen that won't lay and hasn't layed since we got her in September. I'm a newbie with showing and what not, but do...

    Are these guys white bantum orps?

    If not, what are they? And is his comb going to be a problem for 4h showing? They are just over a year old.

    Is she too old to lay???

    My 9 yr old bought some really nice Rose Comb Rhode Island Reds last fall. They were older but they thought maybe 2 years, but not certain. She wanted them as breeding stock as the roo has had his toes froze off. Well, we have not gotten one egg from the hen, not one, since we got her in...

    First broilers in years....

    I can't remember anything except they are fast and tasty. How do I feed them, I know you want to feed to avoid leg problems. On pasturing, how does that work? If I want to get some for the girls for a pen of broilers does anyone know if the judges care on breed as long as its a heavy breed...

    Tons of questions, HELP!!

    I am going to have my layers tested for MG (I can't ever remember the whole word, sorry, I hope you know what I mean). IF they come back positive here is what I understand, please correct me if I'm wrong. IF it comes back positive, I will need to kill the entire herd. The phoenix birds I have...
