I'm trying to find GOOD showable grey japs. I have contacted all the breeders with emails on the Jap Breeder club page. only 2 have responded and they dont have them any more. any help would be soooooo appreciated. I dont' want to have to go hatchery route if i can avoid it. Thanks!
I apologize for the thread hijack but I'm not finding any clear answer........I have never had any chicken disease issues past a few cases of cocci a couple years ago. I'm wondering, once a bird has fowl pox, can the bird be a carrier and infect a "clean" flock.I was looking at getting birds...
These will be VERY large dogs. Sire 190lbs. Dam 140 (her sire 200, dam 150) They are excellent guard dogs. Both ours mingle with chickens. Our male worked well with cattle and horses. They are very protective of family and property. They need room and excersize. They drool, snore and pass gas...
and that is the exact attitude i'm talking about. i guess i'm as likely to find a dog forum with decent friendly people as i am a unicorn being ridden by a leprechaun.
cackle is NPIP as are most of the big hatcheries. ive ordered from them several times. if you want you chicks vaccinated, you have to order it. i've not seen any hatchery that does it just to do it.
i'm north of cheyenne, btw
These are the best dogs in the whole wide world! we have had them for several years now and are rejoicing in our first litter of puppies. share your pics, stories and love for the mastiff, english, french, italian, african,etc. we arent biased(much. lol)
we have neapolitan (ie italian) mastiff.

I've seen day old chicks priced from $4 to $8 each.
You can get lavender orps about anywhere. Plenty of people sell them here. The thing is, they are still project birds. They are not true to APA SOP by a country mile! Where ever you go...
Everyone here is speaking regarding the project as a whole, not about you, not about your specific birds. The only person who made a comment about specific birds was the judge that Jim consulted by sending pictures of your birds and then quoted the response email from said judge. If you think...

I'm not trying to be argumentative, but why even bother to consult a judge if you put no stock in his, or any of their opinions?
It seems to me, that the issue of body type is far more imperative to "fix" currently than any other issue. The color is easy to maintain once it's there...

To answer you question here:
Eyes - med brown - not light or yellowish, but lighter than the blacks
Beak - dark
Shanks - slate
bottom of feet - never even looked.
Legs and feet are dark like in my blacks. Any light color is culled.
Jim, I'm not sure what you're asking for as far as people voting on a standard since one already exists for orps as well as the self blue coloration.
No one has orps close to being ready to petition. Quoting your own passage:
Then APA judge Brian Decker added this comment about photos from...

It's set to "everyone". Man sometimes FB really blows
I don't know how to fix it. If you want, I'll friend you. Several folks have done that. It's just so tedious to upload one pic at a time on here.
