Can someone tell me if Mr. Don Schrider is the man to contact for Brown Leghorns still. Thank you, Nan

I love it. I may have to "copy" your plans when we build our new one.

I feed medicated chick starter with Amprolium in it for the first 10 days then they get poultry feed for the rest of their growing time. Unless you actually have had a case of coccidiosis or you feed the wild birds near your coops I don't really see a reason to feed it the entire time.

Mine do not. I can't answer for others. My feed has Amprolium it. I haven't ever had a case of coccidiosis (knock on wood). This method has worked for me thus far. If others have different ways of raising theirs I would love to hear them.

Congratulations mcgee, can't wait to see pics of them.

Their only water source is in their pens which encourages them to return to their pens but if they decide they don't want to come back into the hoop coops at night I use the dogs to move them. Generally though they behave like chickens and seek the safety of their roosts (very very low ones) at...

My chicks were 3 weeks and 3 days when I took that photo. Their butts are bare because they haven't yet feathered and most likely wont before they go to butcher. They are right on schedule for growth, I'm not sure why you would think they were "too big" for their age. Perhaps it is just the...

My 3 week old meaties. I have raised these now for 6 years and have no complaints about the breed. They serve the purpose they were created for. Excellent feed to growth conversion and ready for processing in a very short amount of time.

Thank you for letting us know he is OK Scott. Nan

I sent him an email in March and he responded to it. Sent one this week and haven't heard from him yet. Hopefully someone close to him will see your post and let us know. He is a very dear man. I hope he is ok.

Thank you Har. I really appreciate the compliment. I'm still learning and trying very hard not to mess them up. She is from my second hatch from my original birds I bought from Mr. Braden.

A 5 1/2 month old pullet my Grand-daughter is going to use for 4-H next year.

Thank you for sharing that Walt. I'm happy to see my favorite the Nankin at least made in on the list. Hopefully if all goes well I'll be able to add to the number of showings for them. Nan

Your coop is beautiful. Be cautious of the metal roosts they can be hard on their feet. 2x4's with the edges rounded off are a better choice.

What an amazing operation you have. I commend you.

Walt you are my hero! I really appreciate the help. I thought I had read a post where you had requested some from another user but can't remember which forum or who the other user was. Franciscreek comes to mind but I honestly haven't had time to read through all the posts. I know he has them...

I have purchased my APA Standard but am currently paying for a wedding so the purchase of the ABA one is on hold. I did howerver purchase the book The Nankin Bantam by Mark A Fields which has the ABA standard description from 1969 written in it. I have read and re-read it many times and from...

Good afternoon everyone. I have a pair SC Nankin bantams that I would like to raise some chicks from and I am hopeful at least 1 of you who posts here are raising them as well. There doesn't seem to be much information about this particular breed and what little I have been able to find is vague...

rehomed

Good Afternoon Everyone. I live in Fort Calhoun on a small acreage. I have a pair of SC Nankin Bantams that I need to re-home. If you or anyone you know is interested please send me a PM. Hope everyone is enjoying the little bit of spring we have been blessed with. Have a wonderful day. Nan
