    Stop telling me to kill my birds....

    Good morning everyone. I just wanted to rant a little bit. In the show world, things can get a little harsh/brutal. An example being that my white wyandotte cockerel has a sinus infection. I know it's a sinus infection because his right sinus cavity is swollen and his wattles are swollen...

    A neat little show in WI - Pretty bird pictures :)

    I went to the Northwoods Poultry Show in WI this last weekend and got some great pictures of the different birds there! It was a nice little show with an exceptional junior class - some really outstanding birds from the youth. Plus, how often do you see a nonbearded silkie on champion row??

    Ross Acres' Daily Thoughts and Happenings...

    Thoughts of the morning. I have switched to replacing my ducks' pool water in the morning. I feel like it's a little better than replacing it in the early afternoon, after work. They get fresh water first thing in the morning this way. I built a new pen for the boys since they are being...

    Missing Toes on Both Feet

    So, I bought some top quality breeder birds (Wyandotte bantams) from a well known breeder. He won 5th best bird in a show of 10,600 birds at Ohio Nationals last year. The birds I got are offspring of that winning bird. They are great birds and are filling out very nicely. I noticed though that...
