Very true. If a person can put up with the filth ducks create, than ducks are far superior in production compared to chickens

I'm all for eradicating the problem. And don't tolerate even a single offense. I've found nothing can come close to taking care of an issue before it becomes an issue than a very good livestock guardian dog. It must be a breed bred to take care of livestock and preferably born and raised around...

Interesting info on turkens. Backs up what I've read on feathered turkens. http://www.cacklehatchery.com/turken.html

Seems I have read where turkens can come both nekkid and feathered. Is there any difference other than featheration? I've always liked the description of the turkens but never could stand to look at them. Now I've learned some can be fully feathered

If one wants to seriously breed fowl and/or raise young fowl, it's best to have a true brooder set up. One where they are well contained, temperatures are easily monitored and adjusted, and cleaning is a minor and easily accomplished chore, only needed once the brooder has been emptied...

You are very welcome. I must admit I'm not a serious breeder. Some years back I dabbled in it for quite some time. I'm more of a poultry raiser. But I've spent decades actually my whole life hanging out with real breeders and being around chickens. It's a passion.

The last dog looks like a kangal or Anatolian Shepard to me

I do like the looks of this dog. ALOT. She has a tenacious look to her. Very impressive

Lol...that's the romantic way of reasoning on it. But not most hunters mentality. For majority of them it's all about the chase, the fight and the final kill. Same reasoning the dog has no doubt. I do agree with post #4642. But that has nothing to do with the harassment, and fighting and the...

Coon hear hog. It's all the same. You are correct The purpose is well known. But real life dictates otherwise. FEW bad individuals isn't the half of it. Regardless. It's two individual of different species. One very willing. One very unwilling. And the general consensus is applauding, slapping...

Not sure about where you are from. But have you ever been around a bunch of coon hunters? The purpose may not be harassment. And the final kill. But it's certainly the case...in most cases

Yes sir. Understood. Mr Norman was a master breeder in his own field which was generally accepted at that period in time. I just use his writings as an example of a proven method of breeding. The sporting issue can be dismissed from his saying and the method will still stand true. No harm or...

1. Decide on ONE particular breed. And ONE ONLY 2. Spend hrs days weeks and months researching this particular breed. Speak to ones that are well known and successful with said fowl. Dismiss most everything written in modern books about raising poultry. The Internet is valuable but not fool...

Hugh Norman a master breeder of game fowl once said, battle fowl aren't brood fowl. And brood fowl aren't battle fowl. .......He never fought his lines of brood stock and never used his battle fowl in the brood pen. Another words. You keep your brood stock pure and generally tightly inbred to...

The pictured black bull dog is a staffirdshire terrier. I see not Rottweiler in it. I have raised game bred pits. Blue pits and amer staffirdshire terriers. I've owned one Rottweiler. A very impressive breed of dog. I bred him to one of my pit bitches one time about 20 yrs ago. A very good...

Jersey giant purchased from a member at this site. Said to come from Maria hall lines. 13 lbs 12 months 15 months Just shy of 20 lbs at 18 months. I sold him immediately after these photos taken so I don't know what size he grew to. There was still nothing but frame still on him except...

I will weigh in here, on a couple of subjects It's common practice for the game fowl breeders of old to separate the stags from the pullets at a very young age. They would send stags to a whole separate yard away from the pullets. Out of sight (and hearing) out of mind. This way the stags...

I love the idea and the appearance of the white Chanticleer. I've tossed around the idea more than once in getting some of this breed. But I don't generally have the time or space I once did. Their egg production is way to low for what I need

The gentleman who made this statement was well traveled and had a lifetime of experience with fowl. He was highly respected in certain circles. Not only for his fowl but his accomplishments in shows. When he was telling me this I just politely nodded and kept listening. Thinking similar thoughts...

No sour grapes here. I'm just stating facts. I love history and enjoy talking about it. But seriously a state that ranks 49 wouldn't benefit a state that ranks 9. The weak battery drags the strong battery down. Arielle are you talking about blood specks? This is caused by internal trauma of...
