you should actually thank Frank Reese all jims farms stand did was copy something he wrote. maybe jim will tell about his strains of turkeys

Quote: Do you know who wrote the manual? Maybe you should look up the authors. By Frank R. Reese, Jr., Marjorie Bender, D. Phillip Sponenberg, Danny Williamson, and Jeannette Beranger. I would think even Steve would tell you they are the experts when it comes to turkeys. As a profesional...

As a profesional breeder myself, anything that D. Phillip Sponenberg writes I listen to. No better expert when it comes to breeding anything. pro breeder? i just read all your past posts and you aren't even an albc member - you said so

i think i would listen to someone that knows turkeys before what i read from a website thanks for all your help steve of sandspoultry

Can you show some pictures of your new rooster? I'm very interested in getting some SQ buff orps. I'm looking for the even buff color. What I have seen in shows here is a more flat back not the U shape of hatchery birds. And are you going to be shipping even through the heat of the summer?

It's very funny that alot of these posts have nothing to do with the title. And since when is the trueth in video political nonsense?, you are very skilled at steering the Marans threads in your direction and when they aren't going your way the thread gets closed or moderated quickly.

you are very correct the Ill was a big eye opener. For those that weren't there take a look at the video and make up your own mind. http://maransofamericaclub.com/show_results_42.html lots of SQ Marans Soup quality and quite a few others thought the same thing...

Quote: Actually, that's not quite true. The APA had to approve the basics of the standard before we were allowed to hold our first qualifying meet. Some tweaking may be done before final approval, but the basic framework is already set in place and approved. Now the only thing the MCC has to...

For those who don't think the Marans are ready to enter the APA and disagree with the coments of the president you can contact them and voice your opinions. From what I have heard from others I hope Mr Anderson has a large inbox. http://www.amerpoultryassn.com/

I guess the next show will tell for sure. it is not all that uncommon for a breed or variety to be rejected at the first meet I thought they were defered not rejected? learn something new every day. People will work WITH a group that presents a group of birds that reflect the proposed APA...

I'm so glad I have your approval to differ, thank you so much, you are very kind. I'll still take a hard hard look at the pictures and take the comments from the APA that they need work. Having said that, I also want to make sure that their acceptance is done correctly and only when they...

I beg to differ on that, white feathers and white earlobes are very easy to see. If I knew how to stop the video and get a still photo I would post them. Since Brenda has the original and the software hopefully she will. Lets let other people view the video and give their views.

From looking at the video that Brenda took from the show I have a hard time with the statement that they "were right on the borderline of being accepted." The quality of the birds shown in the video are very lacking. Look for yourself, http://maransofamericaclub.com/illini_show_09_114.html...

Sounds like el chupacabra.

Quote: Yes they charge a shipping fee. You can see what it would be on their website. I cost most to get them to and it was 30.00 for shipping, so that comes out to 1.30 a chick delivered. Good luck, and Harp, GREAT thread!!! Thanks, hoping to help out alot of those questions about the...

Will, You have me confused about the chickens running loose? Our farm is certified organic, if our cattle are in the pasture they are still organic. I guess the people you speak of were only ceritfied in some areas? It seems to me from reading this thread the people doing the most...

Quote: The whole idea behind being certified organic is the key word "certified". It stops people from claiming to be something they aren't or it is supossed to be anyway. Some still try to claim it. Our farm has been certified for quite a few years now and it is a lable we put on our products...

Quote: Check with Greyfields, he is a mod on here and has been raising meat birds for quite awhile.

I always thought we could make a fortune around halloween selling rotten eggs. But then again you better make sure you only sell them to people that like you. LOL Dave
