    Post your import breed wishes here....

    I imported eggs from Germany Holland Japan and France during the 80's. Very few eggs ever hatched. It was a waste of time and money. I have imported many breeds of chickens in the past 30 years. I must say that the american bloodlines have been mostly superior to the european and british ones.

    Hatching eggs vs day old chicks

    New to breeding....confused ???

    Many of my rare breeds are inbred. Brother sister is the closest you can inbreed. Sometimes it makes the birds grow slower. My Yamato, Chu-Shamo, Satsumadori, Kimpa, Ko-Shamo Chibi, and O-Shamo are inbred to differing degrees. Some are losing some body size as a result. Its a good way to clean...

    Rabbit alfalfa pellets for chickens? good or bad.
