    SEED: The Untold Story film

    I don't know why I didn't think to post this here earlier, but this looks like it will be a very interesting film. These guys need our help. They have seven days left to try to fund the project: <iframe width="480" height="360"...

    CSU - Chicken State University- Large Fowl SOP

    Clueless lurker here... do breeders have to double mate Campines or is it possible to get well marked birds by single mating?

    The Natural Chicken Keeping thread - OTs welcome!

    finally caught up! Jeez, I have no idea what went wrong with the other threads I've been studying so faithfully for the past year, but thank you Bulldogma for starting this one. I hope I can keep up, y'all move so fast! How do you do it? I am unemployed and on here for a good part of my day...

    Here in North TX there aren't a lot of disaster-type situations that happen frequently. When it freezes here, it's only for a night or two, and when it snows, it's no more than a few inches and gone by the next day. I grew up in central TX and absolutely NOTHING ever happened there. I was not...

    oh my goodness, I watched that on Netflix hoping it had something to do with natural history, or even chickens, for that matter. It didn't....AT ALL

    Chickens for 10-20 years or more? Pull up a rockin' chair and lay some wisdom on us!

    I have been reading this thread since it only had 100 pages, and I want to thank all the OT's for taking the time to write down all this advice. I also want to thank the other newbies for being curious and continuing to ask questions, many of those questions are the same ones I had but just...

    Bob Blosl's Heritage Large Fowl Thread

    Thanks Galanie. I've been looking into the Bluebonnet Classic. I went to the STate Fair one, but wasn't sure if it was an APA show or not. There were a lot of hatchery-lookin birds there. What about the Fort Worth stock show? I know there's a junior and open poultry show.

    Bob Blosl's Heritage Large Fowl Thread

    I'm glad to hear you say this, because that is my plan. Sort of. Hopefully I will be able to skip the "urban 4 hens and no rooster" step and go straight to the "figuring out how to keep hatchery birds alive on free range" step. One day. Can anyone tell me if there are any APA sanctioned shows...

    Hmm, yes in the book he did specify that it was purple barring that was to be avoided... Let's see if any of the old guys have answers

    Bob Blosl's Heritage Large Fowl Thread

    Ok, it turns out that I do have a question to ask. I went and read most of that book (forgot who posted it) by W. H. Card about the breeding Laws (this one: http://archive.org/stream/cu31924003158312#page/n1/mode/2up), and found an odd thing I've come across a few times. Two of the breeds on my...

    Clucky and FeyRaine, I'm glad you joined the thread, because you're asking all the great questions that I know I would have but just haven't been able to put into English sentences! I'm just here taking notes and loving this discussion Emily

    Bee, what did you have the hair sheep for? Did you comb out the wool? Surely they weren't simply pets... I am not well versed in the uses and benefits of sheep besides wool.

    Bulldogma, thank you so much for putting all of this wonderful information in to such an organized format! Now I can quick-reference all the important subjects. I had saved a lot of info into a word file, but that thing is almost as random as the threads themselves. I subscribed to the blog...

    Maybe she's taking a rest, I don't know how she keeps up with all these threads as well as she does. I missed a weekend of reading and had almost 400 posts to catch up on. And that's just from the three "Bee threads"!

    sounds like a good way to get a little meat off a scrawny ol' hatchery-mistake cockerel

    oh lawwd, I've seen enough poop today at the animal shelter (I work in the cattery) ! And now I come on here and there's MORE poo! lol Bee, I watched some of those field dressing videos. I didn't know you could just pull a pheasant apart like that... The breast and skins came off so clean...

    Bob Blosl's Heritage Large Fowl Thread

    This show was at the state fair. I am a total newbie so I really don't know exactly what makes a great bird, but after seeing all the hatchery birds on BYC and also seeing all the nice SOP birds on this thread, I'm getting a lot better at knowing what a "junk" bird looks like....and there were a...

    I was at the Dallas show, my first poultry show experience! He was one of the impressive ones. I don't know anything about NH's except that they have beautiful colors... but he was very big, shiny, and in much better condition than the majority of birds there. I took a pic of him, too. Maybe...

    I spent most of my time outside barefoot in the spring and summer as a child, all the way into high school. Never been stung by a bee or a wasp. I'm not afraid of bees, they're so oblivious to everything that if they land on me, i just let them crawl. I usually run if a wasp comes at me...
