I know this an old thread but......http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/grd/5754310825.html

The results out of my RIR Rooster over Comet Hens led to the hens looking like RIR minus the black tail feathers, the roosters were nearly identical in color to the Comet hens, with the littlest bit of white trim at the bottom edge if the neck feathers. I believe if someone would do it, that the...

And while the chicks aren't color sexed you can feather sex them via the wing feathers if you do it within the first couple of days from hatch.

I hatched some, some years back and got hens that were nearly identical to a rir minus the black trim feathers on the tail.

I had sold a friend a batch of eggs that had one from a dark Cornish roo over a white Brahma that hatched to be a hen identical to a buff Brahma. And I mean identical .

my guess is that the Legs are not pure enough. IT APPEARS to me ht they have the silver gene, the silver gene showing up as a yellowish pearl type coloration in the hens. The rooster is RIR as RIR gets.

I'm at a loss to figure out what the problem is here. I crossed my Rhode Island Red rooster, with what are supposed to be pure White Leghorns. I've got a bunch of babies with black spots. They seem to be feather sexable, and there are SOME that could be the regular Golden Comets, but i'm just...

Might be a Red Ranger...I THINK/NOT sure, they are a true breed? Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

I just throw the squash and or zucchini in whole...they do the rest.

My lime came in a brown bag, reads hydrated lime. I bare hand it, and have never been burned by it. Maybe it's different stuff, but I let the chickens out while I spread it. Supposedly it suffocates the mites, and kills the smell as well.

The lime I used is hydrated agricultural lime. No burn(I applied to the floor and walls bare handed). From different things I've heard and read, the powdered stuff will coat the mites therefore suffocating them. I know I need to use sevin dust also, but for now I'm satisfied with the lime...

I've heard from an old timer in my area, that lime is a good way to neutralize smell(obviously) and mites. I've also heard from another gentleman that uses sevin dust in the same manner for the mites(only). He dusts the coop, while his birds are out, and dusts the backs and under the wings of...

I just recently(10 minutes ago)spread a generous lot of hydrated lime in my coop. Enough to cover the floor, and walls(as best as it will stick). I've done this before, and had no trouble with burning myself or the chickens.

Actually ended up with 30 best hatch to date with the bator full.

Got 29 out of 42 to hatch. Will find out tomorrow what stage the DOAs made it to.

Right on. Y'all reaffirmed what I was thinking.

I've what I believe to be the majority hatched, but a few still trying. Would it be worth it to pull the walkers out to give the late hatchers a better chance?
