I'm hoping to pick up a couple of LF lights while I'm there. Been without Brahmas for too long.

Quote: Thanks! And how often do you do this? I'm just learning about Oxine. I do have some, but didn't get it in time for the major clean-out of the coop this spring, when I disinfect and powerwash everything. When you spray the birds and the coop, is it just like a mist over everything? I...

Quote: Miss Lydia, what's the dosage you put in the water? 1/8 teas. per gallon. in their water and use 61/2 ounch per gallon to spray out coops and to spray birds every 2 weeks. Thanks! And how often do you do this? I'm just learning about Oxine. I do have some, but didn't get it in...

Quote: I use Nutri-drench in the water about once a week.

Quote: I can see how they could damage their legs being so big and heavy, not only did I lower roost but I also have close to 8" of pine shaving on the floor now so when they jump they have a coushioned landing. All of my birds range free during the day, almost 2 years and haven't lost one of...

Quote: I'm in between Brahmas right now. I'm supposed to go down to a breeder in MD, he said I could pick out a couple of his birds - but the summer's been crazy. I really like the LF - you can really get your arms around them. A friend of mine had a 17lb rooster! The only thing I have...

Quote: Yer killin' me Tim. Are you Mary from the ICBA? Yes, that's me.

Quote: the one without feathered legs is definately not a brahma hun but it is cute! it's also a cockeral How can you tell that?! The tail?

Quote: The Crossroads of America Show in October in Indianapolis. It's looking to be the biggest poultry show ever - I think they are hoping for over 14,000 birds! Here's the website: http://web.mac.com/rbennett57/Crossroads_of_America/Crossroads_of_America.html Put the volume down before...

Quote: While I have no brahmas at the moment (I'm on the list from a breeder for some) the ones I had were quite a bit bigger than my other birds. The hatchery brahmas will tend to be a bit smaller, closer to the size of wyandottes and others. They are not known for their great laying, and...

Quote: Tim, those bantams grow on me a little more everytime I see a pic. Thank You, there should be plenty avaliable at crossroads. Now, why do you have to say something like that?!

Quote: Yeah, and then you could send a couple to me!

Quote: Are you trying to tell me choosing every color in the end is inevitable? Get one of each. You really have to live with a bird before you can decide about a big commitment. I fell in love with the buffs, but once I saw a really good quality white, that was it. Same with cochins -...

Quote: Mallory, I've had the same questions for a couple of breeds, and here's what I learned: Spend several hours with a good breeder, and ask a ton of questions. Get the best birds you can afford from them, and spend a lot of time watching how the birds move, and act, etc. Take pics of...

Quote: Thanks, Tim. Did not know that about the head. I also use that Manna Pro when I can find it. I've been trying to find out if that is a good plan, but could find no one who fed their birds that way, although I've read it was good for the heritage birds, especially the LF. Thanks so...

Meat, fat, skin, feathers and SKULL. A defect according to the standard is "head too small and narrow". The "brow" or "beetle brow" as many refer to it, usually improves with age. A good high protien diet helps. It is usually evident at an early age in high quality birds. It is really a...

Quote: Yeah - I got rid of my egg-layers for that reason. It's ok if they don't like me, but let's not throw ourselves into a panic when I walk in the coop, ya know? I love my calm, dignified, meat and dual-purpose breeds. They are much more easily corner-able. And, except for one or two...
