Yes, exactly! I do not wear my normal walk around shoes in my Pen area. I also hang a bottle (When it's not freezing out) Outside my pen gate. As to remind myself to always spray my feet with Oxine solution. But, remember it's in the air and therefore its in your clothes, hair, you name it

Is that so you don't track germs from one pen to another?​

Okay, you do not want to breed them to a white b/c white is like a can without a label as Soran says. You never know whats inside the color genetic codes. I do not feel comfortable enough to get into color genetic talks. It's way above my head and I tend to do things with trial and error. But, I've got an upper hand in the sense I've been doing this a long time. I would suggest you go to the Buff Forum and post a bit on there to ask about color technic and crossing of colors. Or PM Soran or SilverSilkie. They both know alot about genetics and can explain things way way way better than I ever can/could.

its so I don't track germs from outside my main pen and also from one pen to another. I also QT my birds at another farm site off premise. This way I get up in the AM take care of my main breeder flock, get ready to go for the day, drive down to the other farm, tend to those birds, go to work, then go back to that QT farm again, Then back home, desanitize, remove shoes, clothing, diseffect of course, and then head out to my pens

Its alot of work but, sooooo worth not spreading disease

Has anyone on here crossed and very dark partridge with a very smutty buff?

 

[Beth G.]

Yes, I got a very funny looking orangey parti. But, sometimes the buff is much like white as you never know whats in the genetic make up.
