Thank you, I'll look into Ectiban a bit more. I'm sure this would be a multi-application product but it's worth looking into.
Thank you @iwltfum. I don't have the experience with agricultural products that you would have, but my understanding is that spinosad is NOT systemic. It can only...
I'm interested in using it as a one-application product for external poultry parasites. Where did you read about it being toxic to mammals? Everything I've read has suggested the opposite. It is used in flea products for dogs.
I don't doubt that it isn't officially approved for use on...
Thanks! Do you remember the name of the spinosad product you saw at Peaveymart? Was it a gardening spray?
Our local agri store doesn't carry any type of spinosad product as far as I know. If it could be acquired through a licensed individual (vet etc) in Ontario I would be interested in...
Is anyone aware of a good online poultry genetics class? If not, it seems like this is something that should be developed. There is a wealth of knowledge available that could be compiled into a single class or series of classes, ranging from basic genetic concepts to advanced material specific...
For shipped eggs anything alive is good. My first batch of shipped eggs had air cells shaped like saddles that slipped up and down and around the eggs. 5 of 13 made it.
The eggs I have currently though weren't shipped, so 1/6 is less than I expected!
I hope you get a fluffy healthy partridge...
I'm not really sure as to the genetics of white silkies and what they hide. I'd guess the offspring might be black or white, possibly with leakage of some sort. You will not get lavenders, but the chicks will be lavender splits.
I have about 3 dozen eggs due on the 29th. Almost all of them looking good!
I bought 6 mille fleur Sabelpoot bantam eggs though and only one of them has made it to day 15 :(
I have 6 working laying boxes right now and about 6 or 7 broodies.
The number is growing by the day. :rolleyes...
I'm not sure if you are still looking for an answer to this question, but you will not get Lavender chicks from this crossing.
However, you could get sexlinked EEs. You will probably get black pullets and I think single-barred roosters. Male chicks should hatch out with a light-colored head...
