    Mille Fleur Leghorn Thread PIC HEAVY

    Mine tend to have more white at this age, but it could be. Ask again when it is a little older.

    Swedish Flower Hen Thread

    I have hatched eggs from different ebay sellers, in one I hatched a chick with 5 toes and in the other a feathered leg chick. I wonder if early in the history of SFs in America a breeder sold unpure eggs to people and since have been dispersed all over the country?

    FERMENTED FEEDS...anyone using them?

    Thanks again for your reply. I've skimmed through the Feeding Poultry book's breeding chapter. And I believe it says animal protein is better than vegetable protein for hatchability. Protein from milk is better than protein from meat scraps. But then it goes on to say something about the...

    FERMENTED FEEDS...anyone using them?

    Thanks for the replies. I have been feeding fermented laying crumbles since last August. My first batch of eggs for the season just hatched and only about 76% hatched. Some clear eggs, some stopped at various stages of growth. What could I add to the ff that would help fertility and egg...

    Does anyone add a probiotic to their ff? If you do, which one and why?

    Do egg shell color change shades from day to day?

    Sometimes this is the case, expecially if they have just started to lay. The pullets are getting everything figured out. Usually mature hens are pretty consistant from day to day, but if they quit for a time when they start back you may notice a difference. A lot of time the shape of an egg...

    A couple FF questions

    You don't want it airtight. The fermenting needs to breathe. I don't think the bucket being a "bit dirty" matters, as long as it doesn't hinder the fermenting or it isn't dirty with something that might harm the chicks. Clean the loose dirt out and rinse the bucket, you should be fine...

    Super awesome winter water system idea

    I tried something similar to this. I had a pump in a tank of water and one of those floating heaters. The pump circulated the water through pvc pipe into the coop and back out to the tank. Like aart said the nipples still froze. It typically gets into the teens here. Now I just keep a pan...

    ACV

    Has it been answered? The question was asked in liters, the answer was given in gallons. Now the OP has to convert. I'm sure if they wanted to do any research they would have just searched for the answer to the original question instead of asking on a discussion forum. But in all seriousness...

    Something to let hens get away from rooster?

    I have a pen with 1 rooster and 9 hens, the hens look terrible. I have another pen 2 roosters and 8 hens, they don't look to bad. I think some roosters are just rougher with the hens than other roosters. Because of this I am considering bachelor pads, only put the roosters with the hens when...

    Mille Fleur Leghorn Thread PIC HEAVY

    I've tried shipping from CA too, with about the same results. I'm not sure who leghornfarm is thinking of, but dlarimer has some very nice MFL's in Arkansas. He has combined Cohen's strain with Tate's strain, very beautiful birds. His email is [email protected] I don't think he is on here very...

    Very beautiful coloring, but what is wrong with his wing? Does he have a split wing?

    Swedish Flower Hen Thread

    I think most people that oppose making a standard for these birds look no further than color. Swedish Flower Hens are already a recognizable breed. Perhaps it should be looked into making a standard with no reference to feather color. A standard would stop people from changing what is...
