Brad -- on the other hand, Chloe saw the pictures and she thought they were adorable!  She's also wondering if you're doing any blue scale quail...

Nope not yet. The eggs I got were packed horribly and only 3-4 were not broke. Needless to say they never developed either. I'm waiting awhile before starting another quail breed/species.

BARB S - These are some of the German New Hampshires that won awards in California. Aren't their colors gorgeous? They look like sunsets! And the female is nearly as bright as the male! When Bradselig sees them, he'll swap the Heirloom BRs for your GermanNHs!

The main thing is the judges are seeing them....and liking them! These two are offspring from birds I got indirectly from Kathy Bonham last year. The main thing is that the parents are producing better than they are.....by quite a bit in the case of the male I'm using.

These don't really show the birds well so, I will try to get pictures without bars. He kept moving every time I tried to get a picture.

I just ran across this ad on CL and I wish I could get them! The price is great and the chickens are adorable. I love the Sizzles!

I am really at my max with 7 chickens although I could make it work, but I doubt my DH would be pleased.

If anyone is interested, Newburgh is a picturesque town that is like an eastside suburb of Evansville. Maybe I should at least go look at them!

If I do, I will use biosecurity.

Hahaha, no worries! I know they are ugly, but still one of my favorite breeds.
heirloom vs. heritage? Is there a difference? I honestly don't know. I'll get the pictures tonight after work posted. I'm getting some eggs from eBay (but I believe they are also on here) shipped from GA so I'm nervous about these eggs. The others are coming from a member on here from TN. I decided to get in them because I don't have a true barred bird in my flock yet really like them. And of course I didnt want just any "plain barred bird" so had to get something more uncommon. I think these are prettier than the hatchery barred.

I love the look of the Barred Rocks, and I agree that they are prettier than hatchery birds! The Heirloom or Heritage (it's the same) are bigger and stockier. They are a double-purpose bird - both egg and meat. They won't produce as many eggs per week perhaps as a hatchery bird, but will produce over more years. They are probably more intelligent and have more personality. Do you follow the BYC Heritage Large Fowl Thread? It started out as a search for Heritage BRs. I like to skim it and learn about the different breeds, though they sometimes get more technical than I care to be. All this chicken info! I'm getting no sleep!

Isn't there SOMETHING you could do to butter up DH? They are absolutely DARLING and such a tremendous bargain! Make a gift of them to him and he can't refuse them!

Haven't seen this picture before, pretty dang funny!

I've seen the snake picture, but it's always funny.

Thanks for the laughs.

Morning all you Chicken Herders!!! Cockadoodledoo!!!

 

[julie0477]

Does anyone know of foods besides liver that are high in b vitamins and riboflavin? I don't have any sort of liver here. LOL It' not usually at the top of my grocery list.

I am just catching up but how can a chick that's just hatched and still surviving on the yolk already have a serious vitamin deficiency? Is that possible? I suppose if the mother has a deficiency?

Good morning Gunchief.....going to be another beautiful day!!
