Well, been gone for several weeks, after the wrong thermometer on the incubator disaster I spent a couple weeks in the hospital, slicing and dicing time, all over, now just working past the ouchies. It will be. Mary, get the boy a $400 stick model and tell him when he can shift perfect he can...

No boiling of the sap, it burns it and turns it dark, just an almost simmer to evaporate the water . The higher the grade of syrup the lighter it is, just barely a touch of amber. Dark syrup is burnt syrup, or adulterated. Or both. Icelandic Traits, as from past days, I would like to get...

I have 3 spring 2013 turkeys available, I need the pens for my Icelandics. There is a pair of Black Spanish and a Jake Bourbon Red. I am pricing them at $15 ea, just to get someone started. I was going to keep them for breeding but wont have the time and space to do it. They are healthy and...

I made a typo in the heading, left the o out. We cant edit the subject line apparently. For the first time ever I have a vet diagnosed mineral deficiency in a couple of my young roosters, fall hatched. I have been feeding a commercial crumbles grower ration to them. Both developed foot...

I am again looking for some Wishard Turkeys. They are the best homestead Turkeys that I have ever had. I was looking for some a year ago but could only find some in Ontario. I want to find some in the US.

This is my first time with these two breeds, I have had Wild Easterns, Narragansetts, Bronze, and Wishard and an occasional White, I bought some poults this spring of the Bourbon Red and Black Spanish, they are now over six mos of age, and I was expecting the Black Spanish to be the largest...

I am looking at acquiring a pair of these, beautiful birds, glossy black with creasts on the back of the head. From what I am finding out they can be free ranged once they acclimate to a new home. So far I am not fining out much about them. I am located in Northern MI near Lake Huron. Anyone...

Yes, both the 2nd Rooster, and the hen make very good poster chickens ! The 1rst rooster does have very nice body, I think that all three would have a place in a breeders flock. As I am sure that they do.

Over the years I have had a number of deer in breeding groups, primarily White Tails and Fallow Deer, and enjoyed them, but keeping WTs , and Elk is now very difficult here in Michigan. I have always enjoyed and admired Reindeer and Carfibou, so I am considering them, probably a trio of...

Good morning I am needing to build a couple new pens this spring for 30-50 birds each, and I am considering hoop houses, they seem to price out better then a stick frame house would be for each group. Experiences here with them?

WTB Old Style Farm Grain Mill the kind used on farms to grind grain fresh daily for stock. NOT the small ones used for the kitchen. These I am looking for have cast bodys and a large fly wheel, would grind a bushel in minutes. PM me or email with photos if possible.

Good morning, my interest is in the heritage breeds of chickens, I enjoy them, raising them and spending time with them. I have been giving thought to a ration that approximates the rations that they were developed on, other then what they found ranging the usual item I find reading old...

Wheres all the pics and threads on the RIRs?? Robert has been gone and it seems like all the interest in the Rhode Island Red has gone with him ! One thread in the last few days, what a shame ! Need to see some pics !

I am interested in if there is much difference in the dressing percentages among the heritage breeds. I have only dressed out two, Broad Breasted Heritage Bronze, and the Wishard strain of Turkeys, the Wishard dressed out between wild eastern and the BB. How about the other Heritage varieties?

Has anyone here tracked egg production in Heritage RIRs ? I am hearing differing numbers, and quite a variation, I am going to be keeping my pullets in trios but am thinking of making some individual hen pens to track a few of the better scoring pullets their first year.

These are two varieties I have always like, the Narragansett and the Boubon Red, which makes the better small farm bird for free ranging in the day and penning up at night, free breeding and raising their poults? I had a few of the Wishart strain of heritage bronze and am kind of tempted to have...

Hello I am looking for breeders of Heritage RIRs, especially Rose Combs. Jake Levi Luzerne, MI We are all in this together, The Best things in life, arnt things.

Has anyone here bought from them? Its a breeder hatchery specializing in Wyandotte varieties, beautiful show strain , type and conformation, but pricey, like about 4Xs what hatchery costs are. I am considering an order for some Partridge Wyandottes. Just google Pauls Poultry for thier site...
