I'm not familiar with HERDA, but it does sound awful. Like you said, HYPP is a genetic disease with incomplete or dominance in terms of the expression of the gene. An asymptomatic parent can have a symptomatic offspring. The primary reason that N/H horses are bred is that the gene for HYPP...

The gene causes the condition known as HYPP----hyperkalemic periodic paralysis. Actually the gene is dominant, not recessive. That said, all heterozygotes are not symptomatic. They are designated as N/N, N/H or H/H. AQHA now requires that all registered horses with any Impressive breeding...

When I process a bunch of older hens and/or roosters, I grind the meat coarsely, pack it in pint jars with a half-tsp of salt....no liquid....and then pressure can it. It processes in its own juices, and is great for soup, chili, chicken salad. Then I make stock with the carcasses.

It is recommended that the peritoneum....the membrane that is supposed to be cut open for caponizing...not be disturbed in a pullet so that scar tissue doesn't form around the ovary and oviduct, which can result in an internal layer. So if you aren't planning to try to poulardize the pullets, I...

I caponized some young cockerels today, and one of them was iffy so I made my initial incision on the left rather than the right. Here is what I found: The white cord in the center extending toward the right is the oviduct. The reddish structure is the kidney. The lower tip of the ovary...
