    So very sorry for your loss Gary, my prayers go out to you and your family. I have always enjoyed our chats with your dad, the cornish world has lost another one of it's iconic mentors.

    Steve : That sounds like Sharon Malmberg's birds from up Iowa way, I knew for some time that she was planning on getting out of Cornish for certain reasons. I saw her at a few shows last year and she did mention she was trying to dump the rest of what was left of her stock, and that the good...

    Sadly eye color has been a very heated debate for years and I suspect it to continue for many more to come, I for one am tickled to death when I see a good true pearl eye. All of my whites have them and just a few Darks and WLR's, but for many who have never had it and continue to breed without...

    Walt : I had the pearl Eye discussion with Gerald Blakely several times and he was instrumental in trying to get that pettition passed through last year about getting pearl changed to light red. I have never had a problem with having and keeping a ton of pearl eyed birds. But those that can't...

    I can see why Walt say's they are a fire hazard, this one I bought has a flat steel plate as the heating element that sit's against the metal water pan beneath the fan, just wired to the plate with wing nuts. The humidity gauge is an actual wet bulb type indicator operated by a wick in a bottle...

    I did have a few minor issues at first then got things settled to a point, that point not being as good as I liked. So I just went and upgraded the thermostat and tweeked some other little minor things and got her humming along now pretty well. I do Hatch out of the same compartment even though...

    A dry hatch begins at the moment you set your eggs in the bator not just in the hatcher, and you have to have some kind of way to gauge how high/low the humidity is otherwise you never know you even are dry hatching. The rule of thumb in dry hatching is 25-35% and it stays there through the...

    They certainly do much better using a dry hatch, my hatches have increased 2 fold hatching at 30% humidity.

    I am with Walt on this one, Yes that's a lil rooster, young DC chick hen's are much easier to spot with lacing/coloring being promanat early on.

    Sure at first you get them then decide after looking at them for awhile if there going to work, he didn't and I had to pen him somewhere LOL. it is what it is, you do work with what you can get but, If they don't shape up and you get a long hard look you make changes and choices. It's a tough...

    I never used that younger white I got from a buddy in any breeding, I just got him for the heck of it as a back up to another project. Your right he's terrible LOL but his head was nice. Those others were just young cockrel culls I ended up selling as barnyard birds, I get a few of these every...

    I am saying a well bred (WHITE) Cornish will be grey/silver white when hatched, I keep my silvers and cull the yellow whites. The best Cornish breeders in the country I know, don't waste their time playing the genetics formula game. They know genetics as we all should have a basic working...

    A true dominant white Cornish chick will be very dark to med grey, which is the sign of the silver gene, which in Cornish means true white, pure white and should and will throw most good white color if mated to the same true silver gene bird. Yellow will also be white but it won't be true silver...

    Well you guy's are too much, I thank you all very much. I hope we do well and it's just an honor to even be included in a show of this magnitude and surrounded by Cornish Legends and some great birds. We are hoping our whites will place well as we have been encouraged by many good Cornishmen to...
