This is an old thread, but just curious if you ever tried this cross and what was the result? The pictures of the desired outcome that others posted were lovely. I haven't heard of any blue laced silver wyandottes out there yet ... but maybe you have some coming along? :)
I apologize if this is not OK to post here. If so, I will try to delete the post. If anyone knows someone who might have a splash or blue English Orpington pullet or hen for sale, please send me a message. I am located in Virginia, but will pay for shipping. Thanks!
Hatched 3/21-22. These are a barnyard mix of colors, but are from pure imported english orpington lines. Disclaimer: I do not know what color they will end up and even if it is a recognized color it is very possible they will not breed true. My roosters are 2 red, 1 partridge, 1 jubilee, and...
Does anyone know if it is safe to hatch eggs when the hen is on Corid? My gut says no, that the thiamine blocking properties may result in chick vitamin deficiencies. But this I a guess and I am not sure how long you would need to wait after administering the Corid treatment. Thanks!
I thought I remembered reading somewhere on BYC that a member figured out how to only mix up part of the Marek's vaccine at a time, but I can't find it. Does anyone know how to do this?
Just curious - in searching old threads for something else entirely I came across this thread. If you get "barred" chicks from this cross are they "cuckoo" colored?
Just curious if the professor ever reported back his findings after testing the eggs? Have any of you that continue to use it noticed any adverse effects on your chickens health, fertility, etc? Anyone try the generic versions? I will keep this solution in mind if I ever encounter an...
Just wanted to post to say that after reading the various threads debating Sportsman v Dickey I decided to order a Dickey. I called to place the order last night at 9pm and it has already been shipped. It will be at my house by Tuesday night. Awesome delivery time! I am hoping the incubator...
Rockinpaints, I will definitely ask. If you have a moment and are interested, pm me your email and I will send you the picture so that you can see if it appears red to you. I do not want to publicly critique the sellers roo. Very nice seller and it is just a quick snapshot. I am still...
I posted this same question in the chocolate orpington thread, but decided to post here as well since so many experienced breeders participate in this thread. I have a beautiful LF English 8 month old chocolate pullet. Unfortunately, lost my LF chocolate roos. I have found a couple for sale, but...
I have a question for the experienced chocolate breeders. I have a beautiful LF English 8 month old chocolate pullet. Unfortunately, lost my LF chocolate roos. I have found a couple for sale, but the photos show what appears to me to be red leakage. Ideally, I would avoid these. I see two...
Just curious as to what other breeders are feeding. What type of feed do you all use in breeding pens? Layer pellets? Flock raiser? Something else? Thanks!
