    F2 Sexlink best practices

    Cross my best Exhibition RIR with my best laying Exhibition Barred Rock. Hope to have a nice set of Black Sex Links. Use the best of those to maintain a hardy smart, easy to handle, good looking dual purpose, and better laying bird.

    F2 Sexlink best practices

    What is the best practice for f2 breeding? I’ve looked high and low and only see how to create them, and am not locating information on how best to breed them or with what. My question is then what? Do I breed it back to the father or a brother 🤔 is there even a point it doing so? Is there a...

    Heritage RIR over Silver Dorking Hen

    I have an excellent Heritage (exhibition) RIR roo that I am pleased with. He has a crooked toe but he is otherwise a very nice bird with an excellent demeanor with both my family, small children and his hens. My hens from this strain, while not production quantity layers are very consistent...

    Has anyone purchased chicks from Hilltop Farms in California? *Do not buy from Hilltop Farms! Negative experiences are in the thread!!!*

    Yes, about 4 years ago. Most awful experience ever. I was able to go directly to the farm to pick up my pullets. Farm seemed clean. Fellow was friendly. Pullets were about 3 weeks old. I bought 6 all died in succession. One died within a week, then another, then I was able to grow 2 Orpington...

    What is happening here? Fowl Pox?! Foot infection, probably NOT bumbleoot

    I’m worried about having him separated from my other rooster for days on end. Wondering if I would ever be able to even reintegrate him back into the flock. He and the Rhode Island Red have had zero issues, but the silverrudd would clearly lose to the RIR. Do you guys think keeping him in a wire...

    What is happening here? Fowl Pox?! Foot infection, probably NOT bumbleoot

    Hi. Thanks all!! Very helpful. The bedding is probably not the issue. My coop is always very clean. I do have some wierd spots with the wire mesh I can double back on and see if that’s what he’s getting cut on. Otherwise I had some bantam cohin roos that were causing chaos 🙄. I gave them...

    What is happening here? Fowl Pox?! Foot infection, probably NOT bumbleoot

    Attached photos for reference . Now I am wondering if it is actually Fowl Pox? He’s looking a bit unwell today with one eye closing. Don’t remember seeing these spots on his comb yesterday 🤔 My other Roo has similar black marks on his comb that I noticed this week. I assumed they we’re abrasions...

    What is happening here? Fowl Pox?! Foot infection, probably NOT bumbleoot

    photos: 7 mo silverrudd, heritage Rhode Island roo and hens. A week ago I noticed my rooster was limping and not using one foot. I inspected the foot and he was missing a toenail and bleeding. Figured he got it caught on something, cleaned it up antiseptic and watched. Affected toe began...
