The Natural Chicken Keeping thread - OTs welcome!

This is for all of you genetically minded people.
I just got asked a really thought provoking question about my chickens. The guy happened to see a few of the barred rock boys I got in the pan fry deal and asked me if I had any in red. Is there a red and white stripped chicken breed out there? If not is there a good method to try and produce a red and white chicken. My guess is that the guy was looking for a new way to show his support for his former university.

Aoxa -
I've been thinking about that Oxine. If it works like that, would people be able to use it to get rid of candida?

Perhaps, since candida isn't usually located in the lungs, the inhalation wouldn't help. But what about topically in area like athlete's foot, thrush, Toenail fungus, etc....

Not sure. Haven't looked into that.. Maybe, since it kills fungus it would kill all types? If sprayed diluted I would assume it would.

There are crele chickens which are kind of like what you are describing, but they are not pure red and white stripes. No such thing exists as far as I am aware.

Here is the crele pattern

I'm thinking Red Comets are the closest that come to mind.

Try Listerine and apple cider vinegar soak to get rid of toe fungus, athlete's feet, etc, it also softens your feet and helps remove dead skin and calluses. Equal parts ACV and listerine to 2x warm/hot water and soak your feet for 30 minutes. Listerine makes your skin tingle but it feels really great on tired and achy feet.

Love that pattern.

You know...KI4GOT (here on the forum) is really good with genetics. She could probably tell you exactly how to make it work.

These look like examples of dominant white playing out.

The entire article:

Thanks Justine.... My hen with the Bumblefoot is PANTING & laying down and resting a lot .... I gave her another foot soak and changed her bandages and got out the oxine and the humidifier .... I am turning the bathroom into a "tent". My question is how often did you fog your hen?? and for how long??? Also I just have a standard humidifier that I got at costco... Do you think that is good enough?? ie: particles small enough?? I tried misting her ... but she got very wet

The black scabs on the pads of her feet don't look any different.... I don't think her feet look swollen... but I wonder if I am wrapping them too tight with the vet wrap... IS that possible???

Thanks!
