    Seabright breeding question

    Years back, there was a time when seabrights were getting very inbred and difficult to breed. I don't know if this problem still exists. So breeders used this technique to outcross. I don't exactly recall the results of the cross, but I believe the goldens you will get will be "washed out" in...

    Bakersfield, CA March 6-7 BFFC show --anyone going?

    Apple cidar vinegar...

    Interesting reading these responses. My dad used to put a tablespoon of ACV in the first drinking water for baby chicks. I don't recall the reason he did this but it was the only time he used it on the chickens.

    Eating rabbits: I am such a loser LOL

    I remember my dad raising and butchering rabbits when I was a kid. My mom, the great cook that she was, could prepare a wonderful rabbit dinner. My dad always made sure I ate the heart, kidneys and liver. I think that's why I grew so big and fast as a kid. It took me a while to get used to...
