Cornstarch? Interesting. Well I will try it all.
Not cornstarch, grounded up corn, as in scratch grain.

I lose a lot of seramas also if they are from pullet hens. I think when the eggs are so small then I chicks are just too small to make it. I think I will wait until their eggs are bigger and try again, it is too depressing losing all the tiny ones. On the poopy rears, I do use play sand in the brooders and I use save a chick in their water and also grind their started in a blender, I do mix grounded up scratch corn in with their starter, it helps a lot. The tiny ones gets poop rears some, but not as often.

Not corn starch, scratch grain(corn) grounded up.

What do you mean bill are they pet quality or not ... Does not matter if they are from good line or not ... I get culls from some of the best line and I still call them culls aka pet quality ... So bill post some pics and tell me if they are pet or for show ????

Hey bill I'm interested in coming out and see you .... when can we set up a day... I will make time ....

I hear you, I am trying to do the same.

But there's nothing wrong with asking a reasonable amount of money for a pet bird. Heck, I would pay $20.00 for a nice layer hen. Or even a mutt rooster for $10 if I needed one. I'd buy a pretty Ameracauna for $30-$40, not to show it, just to have it. I think you see where I'm going with this. Just because its not show quality doesn't make it entirely worthless. Plus if somebody pays $20-$30 bucks for something, they have something invested in the animal, and may be more likely to take care of it, instead of BBQ it.

thank you chaili...and yes nothing wrong long as you disclose and are honest about it..... some folks may just want a sweet house chicken

speaking of the new forum and lots of new features, did you all know about the "block" feature?

Here is a link to a thread on it.
https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/618726/wheres-the-blocked-list

Hold your cursor over the users name and on the drop down choose "block". You won't see what they write any more, you will see something like a box that says blocked.

The main purpose was to keep yourself from getting into trouble when there is someone that constantly annoys you with there posts. If you don't read what they write you won't be responding in a way that gets you into trouble.

So if I got tired of seeing Cathy's beautiful chicks or all of Froggies smilies, I would just block her and not see those posts anymore. You can unblock them at anytime.

Just don't let curiosity get the best of you and it should make part of life a little less annoying.
