I just saw this and I am very late to the reply obviously but I. one of the very few true enthusiasts that didn't get out of the rhodebars when the fad wore off and legbars took the scene. I got them from a breeder that acquired them directly when they were first introduced. They had the best...

Yea same thing here. I got some from a local in an assortment of plants for my aquarium. Later I found out how quick it grows. I put it in aquariums. When I get too much I incinerate it. Do y'all see it grow big and round in your ponds? In my tanks its dwarfed down to barely anything.
I think they had bought birds from a breeder and the birds were healthy but shed it too their ordered birds. I hate seeing them go through this as I had told them how to tell if they were sick. I just am trying to tell them how to build a new flock from their show birds that are clean. Ive heard...
Hey All,
I have a friend dealing with Infectious Coryza in their flock. I have informed them that they should cull and start fresh and many of their birds are replaceable from a hatchery. However a select few arent replaceable and my friend wants to hatch from the carrier birds which from what...
I know now this post is in the 6 year old range but how do you like your setup now that you have had several years of use. Any pros? Cons? I'm thinking of building some small breeding pens to hold a single bantam per section and like the removable divider idea. Just curious if over the years you...
I'm curious, Why is that so? Why can't you breed back to the brown leghorn or to the rhode island red with these breeds? What do you get, and how do you get back to a pure breed. Thanks.
I do realize this thread is 3+ years old but I wanted to comment in case someone needed the information.
A Khaki Campbell Male bred to Black Females such as Black Runners, Cayugas, or Black Swedish will create a Sex Linked Cross. It also works with Muscovies breeding a Chocolate Muscovy to a...
My thoughts on this is that when GFF introduced them they were super cool, but then several peoples Rhodebars began laying green eggs. I myself had the same idea as yourself. I have sourced out several breeders, visited their farms (some hundreds of miles away to see their stock, how they were...
Hey Folks,
I just recently bought 7 pairs of White Leghorn bantams from a breeder at a chicken show. I have never owned any exhibition poultry before as I always wanted production. However I saw how pretty these were and now it put my head a spinning. I have had them about 2 months now but I...
Anyone wanting to Get some RhodeBars or Crested Cream Legbars? I have a few local breeders next to me that charge decent prices for them and I have seen their beautiful stock and offspring. They sell day old chicks but since they are past the day old mark by the time I get them I figured I could...
That looks neat. A little different than the boxes I am used too but they do look like they would work well. I would still think the staw would be needed because I would think it would make the bottom of the box more comfortable for those little feet. Nice idea though and if we ever start...

Youre welcome. I have so many pens set up and individually seperated roosters so I needed a quick and easy method for giving them vitamins without mixing jug after jug. This worked great for me.
I know this is a old thread, but I also wander if you kept the Northern Brown Snake aka Dekay Snake? I have caught 6 this year. I have kept all 6. My cats got a hold of one and killed it, but 5 are still alive. 2 adults, and 3 juveniles. They are eating small red worms fine, and I feed them...
Hey fellow peeps, I have a tip for you.
Buy an Ortho Dial & Spray Sprayer and set it to 1 oz for your vitamins and electrolytes, and medications. Its so much easier to just add the contents, set it up, and spray it into your water cups or fountains. Works great. Just dont use it for harmful...
