Duane Urch is supposed to have some nice birds, I've just emailed him to see what he has and charges. [email protected] There's also facebook group for WFBS, a lot of the hobby breeders will ship eggs if you're able to hatch your own.

correct. I know/know of several folks who have a single bird - I've read that keeping them singly is OK as long as they have enough interaction.

I found an emu breeder within a reasonable distance, and am seriously considering getting a chick to raise as a pet. I'm doing my homework but am seeing conflicting information from emu farms v. pet people, mainly in regards to housing and other animal interaction. So - here's my situation...

Thanks... lots of good points, and, you're right, I do have more than a dollar or two wrapped up in these guys. Seems like I'll have to bite the bullet and get the real deal from the real people!

Wait - are you THE PooBaby's daddy? (really, how many PooBaby's can there be, lol)

How can I find contact information for Jim Bell? I'm going to spend the winter getting my um, chicks? in a row and then come spring really start working on my Spanish. There's some things I know I need to work on, one of them being egg size, another would be the size of the birds themselves...

As the title says - I want to buy a SOP. I'd prefer used since money is tight, and thought that checking Ebay or Amazon would be a good place to start. Woah - there's 1906 reprints, OCR scans, and who knows what else, and I"m so confused. My original understanding was that the APA would...

Add me! I have a bs pied x ib hen. Just juvies at this point but put me in the group! I'm in york, pa.

I have the pleasure, and pressure, of owing SallySunshine's flock of WFBS - as of tonight, lol. I had a starter flock from her chicks that I purchased this fall, and added her breeders to that, along with some hatching eggs. I"m in love with the breed, and her adult rooster is absolutely...

I was just given the pleasure, and pressure, of purchasing Sally Sunshine's flock of WFBS. I had a starter quad hatched from her eggs, and now have 4 lovely hens and a spectacular rooster. I've had chickens forever, but have never, ever, even looked at a standard. I want to do right by these...

Thanks for the guidance... unfortunately she didn't make it. :( Too much stress/trauma.

With all the nasty snow we've had, the netting to the outside run collapsed, and today my black ameracauna hen discovered the joys of free ranging... and the dangers of mingling with a border collie. I saw the pile of feathers early this afternoon and thought she was gone (the dog LOVES her...

I love mine... I use it coupled with a fish tank heater in their nipple water bucket. The water is always warm and I guess the two thermostats are a bit overkill, but no problems the past few years and I don't notice it on the electric bill!

I have several Narragansett turkeys looking for a new home. These are healthy birds, not ranged with chickens. Good for breeding or eating. Last month they dressed out around 10lbs and they are only getting bigger. $30 each, 3 jakes, 1 hen, one ??? Located near York Pa. Will trade for bourbon...

My chickens use a 5 gallon bucket with nipples for the water, and I am sooooooooo spoiled. No grungy water, it lasts them a week, easy to heat in the winter, I could go on and on with how much I love chicken nipples. That being said - my turkeys are using a traditional poultry waterer, which...

22 easter eggers went into the hatcher today, 14 turkey eggs cookin', and just added 6 OE banty eggs :)

Sometime about 3 weeks ago I put eggs in the incubator, trusting my memory to get me through 3 weeks. HA! I couldn't remember if I put them in on a friday or a monday, but judging from what I saw when I candled I was guessing friday... but again, wasn't 100% sure. Took a gamble and put them...

One of the best things about a home made 'bator is that you get to tweak it so it works perfectly for you. My cooler bator is about 2sq feet and has one pc fan and two 40 watt bulbs. I've checked the temperature at various locations throughout and it is consistent... so just turn it on and see...

I know you've gotten a lot of flack for your experiments, but I think they are absolutely fascinating! Good for you for thinking 'outside the shell'! I can't wait to see what the next batch brings!
