Ok I need a chicken book. One that has pictures of colors and patterns. What's your alls oppion?
Should I just buy the book of standards. Does it have pictures?

 

[FlashPointFarm]

Yes, Sam. It has pictures. I was going to buy a 2010 SOP myself. Want to go in on an order and split the shipping? I can cover it and you can pay me next time I see you.

She started to take all the eggs I had set up like that and tried to roll them under her

Sam... don't forget to check: feathersite.com That site might help too. Did you see my comment about your husband and my conversation? It's back a few posts.


Trish, the little marans are pigs! Got to slop em' twice a day! One of them has feathered legs. Is that normal? Out of six, how many can I expect to be bantam? They are cute little pig balls though. Still fluffy but growing 6 to 12 inches a day! Am going to give them 2 days to clean up the mess in the corner they scratched out of the feed dish.

I'll check that site out and I saw post it was bowling night and spaced of responding sorry.

A $60 book I think I'll wait on that one. Thanks for the thought.


Steph frizzy is doing great so is little grey chick. We'll have to figure out a time to get u your $. Maybe a baby goat play date lol

Eric, about 75% should be bantams. Feather legged is what I'm planning on breeding for, so that is good. I sent some eggs to Alexandra Douglas and she got all feather legs, which she was happy with. Bev Davis lives close to her and is planning on helping her develop them! So I'll be able to pick her brain too on these. And yes, they are pigs! I think they waste more than they eat though! Keep me posted on them, if you would. I'm going to be splitting them up and doing some planned matings soon.

Sam,
I'm planning on getting one. I'll let you look through it at a swap that we are both attending. I have a feeling that it will be a regular thing! LOL!
