    OK, Sevin dust, is it good or not?!

    In extremely strong cases of infestations I bath my chicken with an Neem oil emulsion, which is use also to spray out the coop after wet cleaning. Otherwise Diatomicious Earth or alternatively Rock dust is enough to reduce the mites.

    White Sport Cream Legbars

    Another alternative source for the recessive White could be the Barred Plymouth Rocks, which were used to create the Gold Legbars. So - not easy to trace it back definitely, where the recessive White originates from.

    The Welsummer Thread!!!!

    Barnevelder breeders lets work together and improve the breed

    My initial thought was, that You could be the second breeder, from where I've got the second part of hatching eggs of SDL Barnevelder in 2012, which he organized for me and I could pick up at his place. But I realized, after my posting, that You are too far away from him.
