Anthony wants some of those Nebraska Barred Rocks. We are going to get about two dozen eggs shiiped with my new method and use the speical handlying rate.

I need some jumbo or extra ex tra large egg cartons. I do not want to buy a hundred or $50.worth. Where can I get maybe 2 dozen. I want to ship the eggs in these monster egg cartons. bob

Look from the back .... it shouldn't look like a skinny tent (or T-P). It should look more like a triangle! Neener, neener, neener!

did you see my sexy chicken butt???? I posted on the marans page... Bev is going through the posts and answering questions right now... She is answering as the post moves she is reading and posting in order... It is interesting... she said a dw is a chicken with short legs... which may be true but there is a dw b which is bantam too isnt' there?? Bantam is express through the ter dwb which I thought was a dwarfing gene of sorts.. Isnt' there 3 types of dw genes?

I am trying to understand what I read about bantam and dwarfin gene and which parent regulated the size etc.

My understanding is that the dwarfing gene and the bantam are 2 totally different things. I have had dwarfs, and do not ever want them again..... 3 types? I do not know how many of them there are, but SonoranSilkies knows alot about them, I believe ?? One of our experts around here does, I think ....

hmmm I did some reading and I am not sure I understand what I am reading. it is quite lengthy and it talks about the size reduction using Bantam vs. Dwarf.

Somebody here made bantam RIRs from LF RIRs ..... maybe it was Bob? I don't think the dwarfing gene was involved. We will have to wait until he comes back online and maybe he will let us know.

okay... I had read of ppl using the dwarfing gene to shrink chickens but it isn't the same as the Bantam gene... although the proper expression for that is dwb..that is where I am getting confused... dw and dwb.

I don't like dwarfs or bantams. I have no idea. No chicken nuggets for me. I like BIG chickens, and chicken steak!
