Your joking, right?
I'm always looking for another enabler.... er... I mean, partner in crime.
The roo is GORGEOUS. The pullet is a little thin on the middle toe feathering but otherwise she's a doll.
I was just bragging that I was going to get some awesome lav eggs from you to add into the results of my lav split babes....
I'd arrange a trade, but these are d'Uccles in winter so there's no telling when I'll have any 'white' eggs! (May? lol. Sheesh I sure hope not!) I don't heat their coop or add light.
S|C.H., that is exactly why I never planned on having any white birds. But they were soooooo pretty....
I'll soon know what sunlight and sand runs do to those pretty white foot feathers.
And I think with bluing the idea is to use as little as possible? I don't know, as I've only washed injured birds or birds I was dying (don't ask). I never ever wash my showbirds. They just play in dew-soaked grass before I load them up, to wipe the worst of the yuck off their feet.
Partner in crime, love it! haha. I know what you mean by white/color/sun, ect. I've found that as long as my white birds are provided with heavy shade during warmer months, they tend to stay white. Some have a few (very few) sunbleach spots. When it does happen, it's on only a feather or 3. I use soybean in place of 'corn' as well, so that also helps white to stay WHITE. Would love to talk more about your pair and see pics. Would also work out a trade on any of my project or pure pens for eggs. Just let me know what you'd like to have
O 4-Got 2 Add: I'm needing someone who is interested in breeding barred and lavender mottled
My building has 2 normal size walk in (one at each end, north and south) doors w access to outside runs (like a kennel kinda) plus we have a full ventalation ((SP)) system. It's heated and cooled, but most of the time I open the vents and screen doors in winter and use the lights, then close it up during night. When we are in the single digits, vents/fans are all I use. There is always circulation of some kind going. I dont use it dueing summer months except for my birds who cant handle heat. Rest of year it sits
