What is the Name of the Book? And the article?

I have found all of your input very helpful!!!!!! EDITED to try and keep myself from getting in trouble.

It would be fine to gather eggs from a hen that is almost a year though right? Here in WA the hens egg laying is just starting to pick up. On a different note do any of you guys practice trapnesting? About half of our hens are laying and I don't have the time to sit out there all day and watch...

No you haven't, everyone is just super busy getting more chickens at the moment!

We just make ours thick enough so that there is no extra fluid.

Does he have a rose comb?

So, what has been going on of interest with relation to your chickens? In my flock I have a batch of chicks almost ready to hatch, and will be able to start pasturing my adults soon!

Ever heard of dry incubation? there is a article on here about it and it has really helped me improve my hatching!!!

Crested breed usually have a tuft up there from hatch. I really have no idea...

Often a lack of feathers is caused by them being to warm( they don't need them so why should they grow them?!).

Here in Western WA egg laying is definitely affected by daylight as they lay more on the cold sunny days than on the warm cloudy days. Marshall

I have to agree. We once had a ram lamb which was the king of pets, but when he got older was the nastiest thing ever!!!!

What kind of feed do you use?

Yes, the cock that I just butchered had his bum plucked for a long time and it looked just like that.

May he get well, and fast!!!!

FYI sex linking only happens in hybrids, while auto sexing can be reproduced year after year.

Don't get to set in your ways because generally speaking the bigger the breed the slower they g.row.(to a certain point) Giants for example

I think that the closer that they get to the north the slower they will advance b/c they are native to africa, and thus not adapted quite as well to our climate as other bees. Anyone that tells you that they are a different species,kind, or whatever you want to call it is telling you...

Some beekeepers are starting to integrate them... One reason that they are so prevalent is because they are more aggressive in everything they do.

I decided to move mine out to the shelter as soon as they were finished in the incubator. I don't want the house smelling like chicks, and I don't have a tub to put them in right now, so out they go. Don't worry they have a heat lamp set up warm.
