Does ANYONE know of a Rosecomb Bantam breeder who is selling eggs for a decent price? I have been searching and searching, and I emailed multiple people with no response.

A lot of breeders are through for the year. They do not want to hatch in the heat and it is late to get them grown out for the show season.

There used to be a breeder in Roseburg, OR. Selling eggs on eBay. I just looked and the ad is down. There was a listing for Splash rosecombs coming from AZ.

Quote: Yes, I bought eggs from a breeder (that exact one, OR4-hmom

) but I didn't get anything to hatch, so I was going to try and get another dozen, but he is finished selling for the year. The only reason I'm still looking is because I've got a stubborn little broody who has been sitting for about 2 months now, and I wanted to reward her.

Quote: I saw the splash listing, but they aren't quite what I'm looking for. Hopefully I'll find a breeder soon. Thanks for the help!

No, I haven't! I didn't even know that existed. I'll check that out now; thank you!

I received the report on 2 of the 3 Pita Pinta hens that died 10 days ago. I haven't had time to look up everything and make sense of it all but they were 2 very sick girls. I'm not sure what I can do to prevent this happening to any of the other birds. Maybe someone on here can interpret it for me. Here is a link to the report.

file:///C:/Users/davalerga/Downloads/D1507947_Final_1.PDF

Here is the short version:

Hen A - Pericarditis, mutifocal, nodular, lymphocytic, chronic
- Nephritis, multifocal, interstitial, lymphocytic, chronic
- Peritonitis, lymphoplasmacytic and histiocytic, moderate, multifocal, chronic

Hen B - Oviduct, adenocarcinoma, severe, widespread
- Lungs, metastatic adenocarcinoma, multifocal, early stage
- Salpingitis/yolk peritonitis, moderate, chronic, pleocellular

In the case summary, Davis noted that both hens had a large, cystic, persistent right oviduct. They said that it is unusual to see persistent right oviducts that are this large and theorized that this might be a breed-related characteristic. They did say that there was no evidence of Marek's disease in peripheral nerves and brain. And the test for avian flu was negative.
