You can refer to my last post. Anecdotal at best I understand. They are inexpensive AND SEEM to have helped the fertility of the two cock-birds I am using. The pills are the only thing I am doing differently this year? Early season fertility has been un-heard of in my experience with bantam...
I just noticed! 21 Reds. I am a mathematical genius. It has been really warm here most of the Winter. Everything but my RC reds are laying well, fertility is very good. I did trim vents and ivomeced all my breeders. I am using testro-boost pills on the two cocks I am using. Got them from twin...
I had my first hatch Monday. 9 bantam lights and two Buffs. Just put 34 in the hatcher to hatch Sunday/Monday. 13 assorted light and buff and 31 RIR bantams.
Greg Williams developed VERY good ones. When he got out of showing the Blacks declined greatly. Sandy Kavanaugh in Kentucky still has them and Laina Seay in Missouri does too. I am sure there are others as well.
That is just a ridiculous, anecdotal, statement. Maybe in your personal, limited experience....under whatever conditions you provide for your birds(and whatever line you were working with,"hatchery"). There are folks who will read your statement and take it as gospel. It is just 100% factually...
American Poultry Association. Most poultry supply companies. I think most hatcheries sell it. Around fifty bucks. Get the most current issue. 2010 for APA, 2014 for ABA.
Lori, female lights are supposed to be clean white in the cushion area. The Brahma back is supposed to be a gradual...
All those things are addressed in the Standard. If you are serious about raising standard bred poultry, that should be your first purchase. Full of facts, no second, third or fourth hand opinions.
Not convinced. It has no pointed saddle feathers. The rounded laced tail coverts also scream "female". Horrible color. Squirrel tail. Top line is just WAY off. If you are truly interested in breeding standard bred poultry......eat this one.
Great question. Unlike most other standard breeds, no specific tail angle is given (in either standard) for Brahmas. Both basically say: tail carried just high enough to continue the concave sweep of the back. The Bantam Standard description for the male is worded a bit differently, "rising from...
