been trying to find home grown food to add to my chickens' diet, so I have been reading about duckweed but most of the articles are on broilers. Do layer chickens do well with duckweed??? How much shoid I feed?

He shown great improvement this morning.... He tried to get out of his quarantine cage as if he was so hungry..... He made that happy sound like roosters calling their girls to eat, though he is not event 4 months old.

By production red you mean utility RIR?

I am quite sure is's sour crop as I could hear gassy sound, the crop also felt like water baloon.

Am having a sour crop prob with my newly acquired RIR cockerel. He was fine when he arrived, he drank and ate right away. But he started to eat less the next day and he did not poop yesterday. I know this because I keep him quarantined from his arrival. Took the food out, but provide him...

I honestly am not sure whether I could find a buff columbian here.... So, I would give it a try. Thank you.

But then I have Light Pekin pen...

A friend told me that a buff maybe "too strong" and suggested white dom instead..... Unicolour Buff is juat as hard to find, I don't really understand why they have never been so popular, unlike blacks, reds and now blues.

the problem is it is so hard to find any laced Pekin, here in Indonesia. That is actually the very reason I adpoted her.

thank you very much...

hi all, Just adopted this girl and would love to breed the colour, what is the best colour of the boy for her? She herself is a happy accident and the breeder couldn't really figure out how she came into being. Thank you, will be waiting for some advices.

Plan to buy Brinsea Ovation 56Ex next month, to replace my incubator commonly called as Hex Bator in Australia. My old Hex Bator was wonderful but it stopped working so I bought a new one last month. Proven to be disastrous, no where as good as the old one. Anyone use Brinsea Ovation 56EX...

i have read page 51 and those micronutrients are contained in their suplement. To be honest I have been wondering if they are results of too much inbreeding because they were imported as eggs. I was actually thinking about crossing with my blue pen, then breed back in. I will have to wait...

Could he be Silver Birchen patterned Red?

I feed them chicken formula for boiler chicken, oyster shell grit available daily, give them mashed boiled eggs or fried fish once a week, as well as some supplements added to their water. Again, my blue Pekins eat same diet and their eggs hatch just fine?

they are around 15 months, yes I would love to wait till they are more mature, but I live in Indonesia and to find replacement if anything wrong happen to them is not at all easy, so I have to start early. I don't think it has anything to do with incubator set up as my previous blue pekin eggs...

Dear all, I have problem I need your thoughts and suggestions about; I am having my 2nd breeding season with my Light Pekin pen after their first adult moulting. From their first batch I only got 1 cockerel, which is no where near enough to have good selection of next generation parent stock...

hahahaha.... just realized I made a mistake by calling my boy "her".... Must be really panicked about my blue Pekin hen. Unfortunately she is better now.... laid another egg, yesterday.

I was told by a Europan Brahma breeder that Brahma prone to heart attack, the bigger they get, the likelier they will get heart attack. And I had same case where I lost my handsome boy.... Took her to vet and nothing was wrong, his lung was good, no fluid, yet he died right when we got home.
