I have my birds tested every year. I also show some of my birds.

Maybe NPIP is worthless but the birds must be tested to show...

The American Bantam Association is great. You don't have to be a member to show, but you do have to have your birds NPIP tested. If you do it for your flock you just need to take your current certification card with you to the show. If you are not NPIP there will be testers at the show. All...

My guess is pullet. As to whether he or she will conform with the standard, my opinion is it is too early to know. At 8 weeks it still has a lot of growing and conforming to do.

Each egg I hatch is like a Christmas present. The eggs are the Christmas packages...

About 2 weeks into incubating we had a power outage a couple of years ago on the coldest night of the year. The incubator was at 78 degrees when I discovered the power was out. I had covered the incubator because it was so cold out that night and the heater in the room the incubator was in did...

Congratulations. It's always eggciting when you get a first egg from your birds.
