My rooster is ugly! Im 99% sure he is molting. He has no long saddles,He has 1 long tail feather left, all the others are little nubs with tiny green pieces sticking out.and a few other small ugly splotches. I've never seen him molt this bad before. Poor guy went from prince charming to the ugly...
I'm back! I have been gone for a while. We have had tragedy after tragedy here. Lost 10 chickens to some diseaseor something that we couldn't figure out. But when we had the flock tested during and after nothing came out positive. I keep wintering if they got into some plantbor something that is...
Not sure if I will be getting anymore for right now. I might see what kind of damage these 2 do since i dont have a ton of land. But definitely let me know when they are ready and I'll decide then! But by all means dont hold any for me since I'm not sure lol
@DMRippy i finally stopped losing keets. Still dont know what caused it. Nothing apparent. Good food, clean water, no other birds or animals around them. Idk what the deal was. The only thing I can guess was something genetic or from the farm they came from. But I wanted to give you an update...
Anyone near me (Coffee County) have day olds or close to it that they are keeping? I have a chick that hatched and i have a feeling it might be the only one to hatch. I hope not but if so I would really like it to go to someone that has friends for her.
Just a reminder: Don't for get to add yourself to the map. Hopefully this will help us locate breeders closer to us in addition to the breeders list.
Also feel free to put the map link on the breeders list for locations or add it to your signature...
I don't even thing they are really ugly when they are grown. Freaking adorable when they are little tho.
This is "Hooty" sleeping under my leg by my foot.
single comb. I will edit that when I actually get to my computer. They aren't ready to sell yet though. I only have a pair.... Should probably add that too lol
Not sure if we have one of these yet but I think it's a good idea. Especially for those of us who sell birds.

Say I got birds from you. I ould say that my birds are from you derived from Ferguson lines. Or something of that sort. I think it would take at least a few generations to make them your own line. But you are right, they are no longer his when they leave his farm just derived from.
I was so ecited and sure I had a cockerel but I think he should be getting pointed feathers and some iridescent tail feathers. it has a really long curved tail compared to the others, not quite up and curved like a roo though. *Facepalm*
Anyone happen to have an unwanted RIR cockerel/ rooster that they want to trade for a pullet? As my luck would have it, when I actually want a cockerel, I get all pullets.
I finally got (my 6 yr old sons) Nankins! So excites to start breeding them to standard. These are my first bantams and are the only known natural bantam. They are also on the critical list so we are going to try to contribute to breeding them back up and into the standard. I believe my trio are...
