I have had chickens for around 50 years, both show birds and production birds, unfortunately you will probably not be able to salvage your beautiful rooster. The best advice is to raise up several stags and keep the correct personality type. I have had roosters that are extremely gentle, they...

I agree, I was just trying to make it simple. His body shape is not perfect to show type plymouth rocks, and he shows that he is a heterozygous barred, homozygous single combed, homozygous yellow legged stag, but his tail is a little too high for a rock. But again he is a handsome little guy.

Yes, He is a barred plymouth Rock rooster. Handsome fellow, he is.

Yes, I was correct, When I crossed faded with Qualmond the male offspring is ( heterozygous qualmond/ heterozygous faded ) will be white with colored tick feathers. Hope this helps someone in their studies of genetics.

I live in central/western part of Kansas, and Thank You for the information.

Yes, I have them; and I can ship. Thanks

I guess I am not sure what you are saying, do you put fishing wire high in the air, what test line do you use? How far apart? and does it knock them out of the air?. I used to have 2 Jack Russell terriers in my chicken yard, but the hawks got 1 one day, and then 2 days later, he killed the...

According to the Fish and Game commission,( They are the ones who enforce the protection of hawks and owls ), I can not string up wires so they don`t hurt themselves!!!! I spent several hours trying to convince them about the excess number of raptors to no avail!!!!! He said no shooting, no...

I agree the crows are the best defense there is., I never lose a chicken or pigeon when the crows are here. But when they leave, I loose more birds than I choose to remember. I think we should be able to take our dead chickens, and pigeons, that the hawks and owls eat, and have the Government...

This is a sex-linked mating, The cocks will be Ash Red, The hens will be blue. Unless the cock is dun, I can`t tell from picture. If he is, cocks will be Ash Yellow, and hens will be dun. Some will be grizzle. Hope this helps you.

Rub a little elmers glue on crack and let dry. Be sure to let eggs ( settle ) for 24 hours before setting. Set in cool dry place aprox. 45 to 68 degrees for 24 hours then put under a broody hen or an incubator. Make sure air pocket is up or slightly up, if not sure, just put pointed side down...

Just remember pigeons are pretty resilient, I have seen guys raise pigeons with just whole corn. But I would use milo or corn, wheat or peas, and if you want a 16% Pigeon or chicken pellet. If you are wanting squabbing pigeons, raise utility kings, Hubble's, silver kings, or in your case...

If I might add a suggestion, I would raise pioneers. Murray McMurray hatchery sells them. They have a very desirable carcass when processed, and they grow fast with no leg problems etc. They have got to be the best forager of all the meat birds I have raised. I have raised chickens for 46 years...

I have found here that it doesn't matter what time of year it is, I live in the plains state ( Kansas ) So the hawks are always here. It does not get better and worse, just always bad. I have three other friends that live in country by me also, and they have exactly the same problems. Raptors...

I agree, we should be able to protect our livestock, pigeons, chickens etc. But in Kansas I can protect my birds from neighbors dogs etc. but need a special permit for rocoons etc. if it is out of trapping season. As for Raptors, owls etc. ( any federally protected raptors etc.) I can not even...

Kansas, Thanks for asking, I hope you are not plagued with raptors like me.

Thanks for the information. Beautiful Recessive Red Pigeon!!!!!!

When I had first gotten chickens and pigeons about 45 years ago, I never had a hawk, owl, or any other raptor problem. Once in a great while I would have a raccoon, skunk or possum problem. Which was easily eliminated with traps. But as of about 15 to 20 years ago things changed drastically...
