    CSU - Chicken State University- Large Fowl SOP

    You can use frontline, but consuming eggs from the hens gets a bit hazy from a legality standpoint. I would feel safe eating them myself but any unlabeled use of a product on a laying hen means lawfully you cannot sell the eggs for consumption for 30 days which is why I do not use frontline.

    CSU - Chicken State University- Large Fowl SOP

    Finally the cockeral. I have two of them that have very good frame size, but we will see how much meat they put on the bones. I haven't measured the cockerals height, but I will try to tonight. I should also mention and apologize for the crest feathers being cut. I cut them during the winter...

    CSU - Chicken State University- Large Fowl SOP

    This is the pullet who is a bit younger, doesn't have the depth and has heavy mottling to her front half.

    CSU - Chicken State University- Large Fowl SOP

    Here are a few pictures of my Houdans. A few are a bit fuzzy because the hens didn't want to stand still well. Really like the one hens size

    What hatchery can I get Good Polish chicks from?...thanks

    I have a bunch of polish chicks from Duane right now that I am looking to get sold. Lots of whites, goldens and buffs. I think the buffs are really pretty when done right and the goldens are definitely eye catchers.

    Duane Urch

    How many of the Giant Cochin and Orp people brag about 200+ eggs a year? No doubt that some breeds are more fertile than others but you definitely start to have some issues with fertility when breeds get over a certain size and/or shape. Another reason for the "awesome" comment: Few other...

    Duane Urch

    Urch Buckeyes Awesome because: Grow fast with few disqualifications Lay well 4-Hers can show them as breeding birds, layers, pullets, or fryers Color really good Fertility is decent, which is/can be a major problem in any breed that is extreme All those are from my experiences with his...

    Production Reds

    They are not RIR x NH, they are red sex links. Their genetics are more complicated than a simple cross

    If we are arguing over "awesome" vs "much better than hatchery quality" vs "show quality" THEN GET A LIFE

    Duane Urch

    His Buckeyes do have adequate size, you must remember Duane is a breeder first and a shower 2nd. He doesn't push his breeder birds like you would show birds because that decreases their egg productivity. Also I believe when she was saying they are pretty awesome that means they are pretty good...

    I have to talk POLISH!

    Red heat lamps can help prevent picking, but my brooder traps heat since it has a low head space so they really don't require supplemental heat. I am trying to figure out if I can use heat tape for water lines to add some supplemental heat.

    I have to talk POLISH!

    I make it dark with minimal lighting by food and water. It this works really well and after a few weeks you can increase the light. Or you can increase the space and have space for stuff to hide.

    Sumatra Thread!

    I agree that darker male is nicer than the red faced male. I do like the amount of body on the red faced male though. The hen has a pretty steep tail angle, her back should be a bit longer and I would like to see overall more body to her. That being said it is worth taking them out and...

    Dark Brahmas look like chipmunks, light brown sides, with two white stripes and dark brown between the stripes.
