Hello all! I am looking for an American Gamefowl club that strictly only supports exhibition and not cock fighting. Is there a club like this out there? I am having a very difficult time finding one.

I am not sure if this adds to the post or not, but my friends used to have guineas. I believe they had 8-10 of them at any given time. However, one day they had gotten home and they guineas were killing their barn cat. They are not sure why, but all they could figure is that the cat had gotten...

How do they transmit disease? If this is true, then why aren't more chickens dubbed? Sorry if this is a stupid questions. I can see dubbing being used in much colder climates where there frostbite is common. However, your idea is a very excellent idea on how to show them! Thanks! Thanks! I was...

Hello all! I have a question about absolutely refusing to follow the Standard of Perfection for my Old English Game Bantams. From what I understood (from what I was informed recently) that it is now a disqualification to show an Old English Game Bantam which has not been dubbed. Would you still...

Thanks for all of the replies! I thought it was very odd and peculiar that there was a second egg inside the other egg, but apparently it just fell in. Silly me!

I just thought I would update this post for anyone who might be reading it in the future. The little bantam rooster is almost completely healed. He is so much better and so much happier. To discourage him being with all of the bigger animals, we are looking to go get him a few more hens and am...

I know. My first turkeys, when they are introduced into the big group of adults, they didn't know any of the turkey lingo or anything. So they were at a loss whenever someone would make the call that they found food and everyone would run over there. After a bit, they learned the slang of the...

This is one of those "I don't feel safe selling them" kind of things if they have been sitting outside this whole time. If they have been sitting outside this whole time, I would not personally sell them. However, start gathering them and sell them in half dozens if they are fresh. Make sure...

Is Wobs doesn't mind it and still seems to have fun bobbing around like that, I wouldn't bother. Maybe one day she will get the idea, but I am chalking this up with the "some people never learn how to float on their backs" or "some people never learn to whistle" kind of thing.

This brahma breeder was at a local show in Lima, OH. I ended up getting a chick that was sold to a family that did not take good care of the chick (I ended up getting it and it was a bag of bones and was soaked in rabbit urine). The family had claimed that it was from that particular breeder and...

I went out to my barn to check on the muscovies that are hatching (I allow my animals to do natural incubation) and gather up the eggshells. Low and behold, I found an egg inside of another newly hatched duckling's egg. So I pulled the inner egg out and helped it get a good start by taking the...

Any breed can be expensive. A show I was at last year was selling single adult light Brahma hens and cocks for $150-200USD. The gentleman even sold out of them! Everywhere else here, you can get full grown Brahmas for $5-20USD. Developing a show winning line will get you good money, especially...

Thanks! Hello to you too! I was thinking of just a general overview of chicken showmanship, then a super quick course over the other animals that you may encounter in showmanship and how to conquer them.

I will second genetics. In turkeys, prolapse is common in Broad Breasted Whites. However, it is less common in the other varieties.

I might soak it then. Someone in another thread suggested giving crushed up baby aspirin in the water, however I was not sure if chickens should have asprin (I know that they can, but is it worth the risks?). He is up and crowing, just has his leg tucked up under him. When he lays down, he lays...

Our Old English Game Bantam rooster hurt his leg two days ago. I got him out to be fed alone so that he wasn't hurt at the feeding dishes, but a turkey came over (seeing me get food out for him) and stepped on him on accident (my fault for not keeping a better eye on where all of the other birds...

Thanks! I've looked into designs of nature and definitely wanted to make a stencil of sorts as well if I did that. But, I think I have some spare pieces that are from the lid's wood that I could play around with burning to get the position of my hand just right. Thank-you though for the really...

Out of curiousity, can I do a video titled "How to Raise Chickens: Showmanship" and go over chickens, turkeys and ducks?

Yours are about 2x the size of my Royal Palms it looks like. Very awesome!
