Did anyone make it to the Green Country poultry show sat? Hope they had a good turn out.

Donnie, My son wants to know how often they faint.

i would so take that nn roo and give him a home with some girls if i was able to pick him up , unless there is a chicken train coming this way lol ...

on the goats , its weird not all fainting goats will faint , i thought was crazy , and some faint more than others , this buck doesnt faint but his mother did alot , the doe she faints but has been roped by little boys and played with as a pet so much its not often unless you can actually spooke her lol , the back door was open and wind blew it against trailer and it caught her off guard , and she jumped and fainted and the way she landed i thought she killed herself cause i couldnt see her head , she was just laying there jerking lol , but she got up , you can stomp at her or chase her and can tell she gets stiff but actually doesnt fall over ...so if you want them to faint alot dont baby them like pets and dont do it too much or they will stop fainting as much lol .... lessoned learned

Has anyone had any experience breeding the rumpless araucannas? I have this trio that I recently purchased. I am wondering if you are supposed to use a tailed bird for breeding or is it okay to use rumpless to rumpless? Seems I recall there being a problem doing that but I may have it mixed up with some other trait. Any info on the rumpless breeding would be appreciated.

Hi Okies,

I have missed being on here and talking with you all. I have been trying to keep up with the reading but never have time to post it seems.
Life is setting itself right and I am finally going strong on my chickens again. This winter was mainly a growing time. It sure is hard to have patience while they are growing!

Went to Newcastle auction last night and won some orpington pullets. Thought I recognized some of you guys but got too shy to go over and say hi.

Looking for some advice right now from anyone that knows Humidaire incubators. I bought one of the big model 200 drum type recently. Really I think I stole it because it was rather low priced and basically brand new. It still had the original shipping packaging. Unfortunately no manual or turning motor. The guy I got it from said he did not know anything about them and did not think it worked right. When I looked at the wiring the power wires were not hooked up. Wire it back up and it is running like a champ. Any help on working the zytron thermostat controller would be greatly appreciated. I also need to buy the hygrometer and Thermometer set. What is the best brand to get? Oh and if anyone knows what turning motor I need that would be great! The guy at SunnyCreek wants to charge $350 for the motor and another $ 50 for the manual so I am trying to look around first and make sure those prices are right! LOL

you can breed rumpless to rumpless you just dont breed double tufted to double tufted
