Are these avaiilable in the US? They sure catch my eye.

Is there a problem integrating new added pigeons to a loft, like there would be with chickens? In other words, are strange, new birds welcomed in an already established flock? Thank you.

I have a question regarding the genetics of mottled. If a black mottled was bred to a self red, I assume F1 would be black and black mottled. Would there be leakage? F2 bred together should give red mottled as well as black mottled, correct? Or would this breeding be a poor choice and muddy up...

This is cross posted on General Breed discussions. I'm interested in starting Basque Hen bantams this spring. I'm not very sharp about genetics and need guidance the best possible way to do it. I have one Basque Hen I intend to use in the project, and hope to purchase a couple more. But I need...

I'm interested in starting Basque Hen bantams this spring. I'm not very sharp about genetics and need guidance the best possible way to do it. I have one Basque Hen I intend to use in the project, and hope to purchase a couple more. But I need to know which color and breed of bantam(s) that...

I find bantam roosters to be particularly difficult when it comes to their little man syndrome. Is there a breed of bantams that the cockerels and roosters can live in harmony in a mixed group scenario? In other words, once a pecking order is established, can several roosters and cockerels get...

Has anyone ordered blr Wyandotte bantams from Ideal in the last couple of years? It seems to me I read somewhere all they send out is black laced reds, which can not throw the blue laced. If this is the case, maybe ordering straight blues may be necessary, although there is no guarantee there...

Have any of you gotten the red Polish from Ideal? Did you have any health issues with them? I have ordered them two different times and (after selling off what I didn't want, cockerels, etc.) they seem to die, one at a time, usually after 4 months old. The birds in with them do all right but the...

Who has them? Tell us what your experience has been with them. Pictures of them and offsprings would be most welcome. Thank you.

Part of my flock has URI and I am unable to buy across-the-counter antibiotics to put in the water. What is the "new" antibiotic being use or how do I treat this? I don't want to use injectible. Thanks.

Is Urch/Turnland Poultry still operating and selling birds? Thanks.

This subject has probably been beat to death, but I've read so much information that's floating around it's hard to know what is correct. One knowledgeable person told me that a split wing on a chick was undesirable. That some of them would "fill in" and no longer appear to have a split wing as...

Is anyone working with these? Thank you.

Has anyone ordered hatching eggs from Strombergs? Price is reasonable but only if they are packed well. Thanks.

My hen was viciously attacked by guineas last year and nearly died. The incident left her without feathers and her oil gland looking like this. Each side looks like a tiny, dirty cauliflower head. I see no actual oil gland that sticks up. Should these "cauliflowers" be cleaned? They aren't...

These are two siblings, which are Ice Cream Bars (ICB x ICB) cockerels - picture 1. They aren't exactly striped, more of a spangled pattern. They were clearly an autosex chicks when hatched. If bred to another autosex breed, in this case, autosexed EEs (Legbar x EE - picture 2) will they...

Has any one ordered from them? If so, were you pleased or displeased with their birds or service? Thank you.

Clearbrook VA swap has not gotten much exposure. There will be a swap held there tomorrow begins at 8 am. Location is at the Clearbrook Feed store, 3441 Martinsburg Pike, Clearbrook VA. (540) 662-2749. It is located right off the Clearbrook exit between Rt 11 and I-81.

I just got in a new batch of baby chicks from a hatchery. The EEs are eye pokers. This isn't just a casual "oh, it's shiny" poke. This is trying to either grab the eye lids or to actually poke the eye, with persistence. There are already a couple of chicks with some eye issues because of it. Has...
