I have a question for button quail raisers. can adult button quail escape out of a 1x2 inch hardware wire???

from what I've always been told, this is passed on from generation to generation, which is why some strains of the same breed lay heavy and others don't.

cockerel pullet New additions to the family. My daughters are going to show them in APA junior shows and in 4h this year. I just signed them both up in the RIR Club, junior memberships.

Lesson learned: DO NOT feed watermelon to all white polish! Ugh! :-)

Here's a couple of pictures of my cockerel. He's about 4 months old. Here are my 2 pullets.

I know a lot of people like old books on this thread. Did anyone notice that someone is selling an entire library of poultry books ( the entire collection as one money) in this month's issue of poultry press? I don't have all of the information for contact numbers because I cut and used the...

Speaking of having a passion for showing and having good stock to work with, my friend is wanting to get into golden laced cochins, preferably bantam. her second color choice would be partridge. We know it is hard to breed laced and patterned chickens for show, but those are the colors that...

Hey is anyone planning to show at the RIR Club National meet at the Cape Fear Poultry Association show in Smithfield, NC on December 14??? I can't wait to see some pretty reds. Also, I will be hunting during the show for one bantam RIR cockerel or cockbird (SC) if anyone is planning to...

I don't trust my instincts. what gender do you think these are?????? number 1 number 2 number 3 number 4 like I said, I have some thoughts but I'm not sure. I have more pictures if needed. Thanks!!!

Yikes! That's the last thing I want to happen. any other suggestions for hard- core peckers?

Any success with anyone using the chicken "glasses" to stop pecking? I have one hen that just pecks the Crap out of her rooster, and he just sits there as if it feels good (nuts!). She keeps him red and bloody all the time. He would be a great show bird If not for the huge bald spot in the...

This is awesome. I love it. I will be sure to share this with my 4H group. Thanks!!! Don't forget that you can use more than 1 color zip tie at one time, you can make up an endless combination of colors using left side, right side, double bands, multiple bands on one leg vs...

pretty is a female. ugly is a male. the mutant is a cross breed, it has feathers on the legs. look for wattles to tell male or female, but it is bearded, so it may not be accurate.

I think I might know the answer, but I wanted to make sure. you should keep single combs and rose combs separate and not let them breed together, right? or am I wrong?

Thanks. We are so excited!!!!

just wanted to share our excitement. We just got our first quad of moderns from down east bantams ( Jeff Sumner). he has excellent birds and thanks to him, we have some now!!!!!!!

Ok. have another polish chick that I want to see if anyone has opinions if cockerel or pullet. I am thinking cockerels. there is only 2 white polish, but I'll post 3 pictures taken this week. they are 8 week old bantam and are small. I am more accurate to tell pullets right away, the...

question, do all langshans have longer feathers above their eyes? pretty neat. I had the chance to see and hold an awesome standard sized langshan this weekend and that was something different I observedthat other chickens didn't have.

It's so nice to hear from a humble "master" that gives praise and thanks to others.
