    Have you tried the Delaware thread(S)? Do you have an incubator? I have Bill Braden's line, but am in Florida. I can ship eggs. There are others on the Delaware thread(s) will other lines. Delawares are AWESOME birds. You will NOT REGRET the work it takes to locate someone with good...

    I watched a judging of Serama's at the Newnan, Ga show 2012. They were using the point system there. The cards were posted with how many points the birds earned. There were like 5 catergories that each bird was scored in and then the points were totaled. Highest total point won the catergory...

    This makes PERFECT sense and goes back to the very nature of a heritage breed.

    Sorry, I was posting as I read along to catch up. How often do you disqualify birds for being OVER the weight limit? I am asking not to fight. I am honestly curious to see if the over weight issue is as bad as I think it is based on the shows that I have been too. There have been Some...

    If these two things don't coincide, then what's the point? If a bird does not meet the SOP and wins at a SOP sancutioned event, then what does that say about the SOP? In breeding heritage breeds, we are trying to bring the birds back to their glory days. We are trying to KEEP the traits that...

    That might be true, BUT the cockerel would be great for bringing size into a flock. Sometimes those outliers that aren't good for showing make EXCELLENT breeders to improve the flock as a whole..

    I use a commercial digiatal scale. It has a very small base since it was not meant to weight living chickens LOL. I lay a piece of wood on it so that the chickens have a broad base that they can get some "grab" on and relax a little, while I weigh them. My scale has the ability to zero out...

    Hey Karen... What size eggs do the light Sussex lay? I haven't been disappointed in the frequency of eggs from the Speckled Sussex, but dang I hate a medium size eggs when I am use to the large / jumbo eggs from the Marans and Delawares.

    REALLY? Really? You won't talk to me if I use the wrong word. You will ignore the fact that I am showing an interest and just fault me for my ignorance. WOW! That just doesn't seem the BYC way. I spoke to an old time breeder the other day. He was only concerned that I do not get the...

    There were quite a few comments made of the last few days that were discouraging towards the small back yard chicken person or the NEW chicken person. As a newbie here, I am going to put my 2 cents in and then stepback and wait for the next set of discouraging words to be spoken. My...

    Quote: A new "breeder," needs to have a mentor, don't you think? Are there many willing to help out the newbies? It is difficult when there is no local mentor available. Do you have suggestions for a new chicken keeper that would be interested in breeding? I do understand the SOP is most...

    Quote: The road will be WET and DEEP, but a path none the less. I'll need a passport and an incubator. Maybe, I could bring back a case or two of a good merlot too. When we went to Mexico, I brought back TEQUILA. This wouldn't be too different!
