You're supposed to read minds..
I am a big fan if your new Opals. They're absolutely stunning. I've read through your thread on your creation of them. Just brilliant.
I saved this recipe in with my other gazillion notes from this thread. So the question is.. I have 1 hen and 1 cockerel along with the hatches I'm getting out of them. I am very lucky to have what I do, even if it is a rooster with bad legs and bad comb. Their type is great, coloring is decent...
When talking about hackle 'flame' you're talking about the individual feathers, right? And just to make sure I'm understanding, the skinnier the black line down the cocks lower hackle the better?
I've got 1 broody serama laying on a clutch of eggs so I'm incubating my marans eggs at the moment to let her take care of those for me too. Here's a big of 2 that just hatched yesterday.
They're excellent type and free of parasitic white. Their down hatch shows true ER. A lot of marans chicks...
Hey maybe you'd be interested in a trade?? I've got several young pullets out of my last hatch and oy got 2 guys out of the 9 and they're both solid blue. I need a another typey cock that's not blue or my who flock will end up splash eventually XD due to my only cock who is a splash. As much as...
Cj you mentioned you had Isabel Leghorn eggs. I entered your fb raffle for the opals Legbars and also noticed you don't have you Isabel Leghorn cockerel. Any chance you still have eggs from your post on Sept 11? I'd really be interested in them if you do even if they're old by now.
Here's the 1st two to hatch. Down color looks correct with number 2 least desirable? That one has a lot of white in shank feathers. Took a good long look at feet and legs and decided they look fine... As hatchlings. If any crooked legs come about they may not show until later one. But I'm on the...
Wow the building looks really great! How nice to have a skilled builder to help you!
I haven't been on since August and just now caught up on the reading. We are so lucky to have this thread. So much attention paid to our birds and so much knowledge. I love the pictures too! I don't know what I...
You probably mean Osage Beach. They put in a bypass a few years ago and it's really flubbed things up. Wrecks all the time because people turning down the wrong way on a one way because it's so confusing and doesn't makes sense. Guh!
Yeah hope to see you posting in that thread! Glad you...
Hey @Fanci Feathers Marans have you stumbled across the Marans thread? There's tons of really great info and really helpful people there who've given me knowledgeable feedback with my own marans. I've learned a lot. If you get a chance, head on over and read thru. I've read all 450+ pages, it's...
Howdy neighbor! I'm in Camdenton. I go to the MFA in Lebanon regularly to stock up on the egg producer crumble, gamebird feed, and grains. Such amazing prices! Glad to see another BYCer so close to me :)
Have you contacted the breeder? I'm curious as to what she has to say. She very well could have thought they were cream legbars. If that's the case, she may have been duped buy someone who sold them to her that way as well. One should really research SOP on the birds they're wanting to purchase...
Hey guys! I've got some sexlinked blue egger eggs, sexlinked olive egger eggs, and regular olive egger eggs, but I'm looking to trade with someone. Is there an active thread for egg trades?
All roosters will crow eventually minus the outliers. I had roosters that grew up together and only one ever crowed, the dominant one. The other 2 never did for many many months. I rehomed the dominant one and sure enough the next in line started crowing. After I rehomed him the last one became...
