    I have a cockerel that keeps looking towards the sky with his head tilted using one eye. I've read somewhere but can't find the reference now, that this is a major symptom of a disease. I've separated him from the flock and will have to deal with the problem but, would like to know if I can...

    I wish I could buy good birds for $50.00 like some have mentioned here. I bought three LF RIR's from a master breeder at Lucasville this fall. He wanted $100.00 apiece for them. I needed them to mate to my own birds of the same line or else I wouldn't have bought them. I ended up paying $75.00...

    Hens acting drunk, fail to revive, what is this?

    Chris09-----You calling me a duck? Ha.Ha! I was just answering the question as it was asked. But, you are right a wattle is the red thing-a-ma- jig under a chickens neck. And you know I might be related to a duck after all, because some things "quack me up!"

    I'm not sure this is the correct place to ask this question or not, but here goes.-- How do you set up your pens? Do you seperate cockerels from pullets? Do you keep them in small pens or large? Do you keep your breeding cocks in with your hens year round? Where do you house the chickens you...

    Banty chicken luv.-- No I don't have any rose combs I haven't seen any that I thought were that outstanding to interest me. Like B Blosi said they might win the rose comb veity but not the LF RIR breed. The single comb seems to dominate that area. I understand that at one time ,years ago,there...

    Someone asked about Urch birds. I have Large fowl single comb RIR'S from him. They are Heritage RIR's. They are very pretty, but, the ones I received were not going to win any shows. The correct DNA/genes are present in the Urch birds because after one good mating I have several young birds that...
