OK....it's not quite 1/8 inch think, but this is the white mold all over my coop.

I should mention that the walls and ceiling are plywood and the floor is cement blocks.

I have an odd situation. I have an automatic watering system in my chicken coop fed by a 45 gal water tank. The tank has completely drained into my coop over the couple days and I have so much mold everywhere that I can write my name on the walls and ceiling. The mold is so thick that it almost...

I decided to take the plunge and buy one of the hatches. Now time to restore it! A thorough cleaning, some fresh paint, and some new weatherstripping should do the trick.

I am following your thread, and I think it is great! I just purchased a used hatcher model 1550, and I am about to restore it. I have a much easier job though. It seems that the electric components work great and I don't have the turners. I had one question though. What type of...

Do these hatches work good as incubators too?

I have found two used GQF 1550 hatchers for sale, and I am considering purchasing one. I want to use it as a incubator and hatcher for large chicken eggs. Is this a bad idea? I know I will have to turn the eggs by hand. I have only used Styrofoam table top incubators, and I am tired of trying to...

I personally have not seen Sandhill Preservation Center's Langshans. There use to be a Yahoo Langshan Group, and I searched the message history for Sandhill. In 2008 someone asked the same question about Sandhill. Only one or two people responded and said they did not have good show quality...

Thanks Rainbowchick. I am sorry my post wasn't clearer. I am working with E/E (extended black). Specifically I am working with blue standard langshans like the one in my avatar. I have bred them for years, but I am really trying to understand the details of why some of my blues have nice dark...

Hi ColorParakeet E stands for the E locus Extended Black, Ml stands for melanotic, and pg stands for pattern gene. I have spent a lot of time slowly reading about the E locus and other such things. I would recommend a good poultry color genetic book. There are a few out there, but the one I...

I think I have a similar question about lacing. I am trying to learn what genes are responsible for lacing on blue bird E/E Bl/bl. Is it simply Ml or do you need Ml and pg? Is it Ml that concentrates the black pigment at the end of the feather? Or maybe I am completely off the mark? I have only...

Thank you for your help and the nice pictures CanuckBock! The sire is the only bird that is not from my line. I just purchased him last month and for his genetics I am going off what I was told. With that said, there is always a chance of something like a copy or two of Bl hiding under that...

What adult color do you think this standard Langshan chick will be? I have never seen this exact variation of chick down in my birds before. The color is more even, but much lighter and more mute than the recessive white chicks I have hatched previously. The color is also much lighter than the...

Thanks Henk69. That's what I figured.

Hi All, I have a color genetic question related to recessive white. I raise Langshans in black, blue, and white and am curious about any minor role that recessive white might play in the color of both black and blue birds. I have heard rumors that having a copy of the recessive white gene in...

Hello fellow Langshan lovers! It has been a really long time since I posted on any forums, but I figured I would check in. Is anyone going to the National Langshan meet in TN on December 6th? I don't make it to many shows anymore, but I will be there. I would love to meet/reconnect with fellow...
