Eh, haven't been on in a while, so a shout out to anyone I've known before lol. I've got concerns this 2020 season, as we all do, but what the heck are us exhibitionists gonna show off our flocks with no shows to attend? 🤔 Should we come up with an online show or something with elected judges?

In this forum I am going to run through all the appearances of famous breeds sold as pure breds at hatcheries and compare them to what they actually should look like if they were bred to the American Poultry Association's Standard of Perfection. I feel google and hatcheries aren't showing us all...

On this property, Plymouth Rocks need to be kept under control. We just can't seem to decide which one to improve on and focus on. I'm gonna run through the rocks that are available for us to keep with pictures and see the highest vote. Please vote according to the quality of the birds pictured...

Hi, I've noticed an issue that reappears in each and every import I get; I always loose all the roosters a month after they arrive on the property to some unknown disease and have never lost any hens in all the attempts. - 4 years ago I imported a Partridge Rock trio, lost the rooster 2 weeks...

Hey, I was at the Vermilion Fair over the weekend and thought I'd share the results: *CHAMPION OF SHOW* Light Brown Dutch Bantam hen Reserve Champion of Show Silver Duck-wing Old English Game Hen Excuse APA judge Rico's colorful marker marks on the show cards ;)

Hey, just thought it'd be funny, but most of you know that the broiler (Cornish X) is made by crossing White Plymouth Rock roos with White Cornish (Indian Game) hens. But let's say I took one of my Buff Plymouth Rock roos and crossed him with buff Cornish hens and sold the chicks as meat birds...

Hey, I was viewing the rock standards in my American Standard of Perfection 44 Edition and saw that Blue Rocks (and all blue poultry for that matter) are supposed to be black laced. I've seen non-black laced blue chickens win show champions. On top of that, I have NEVER seen any Blue bird that...

I need all you Plymouth Rock fanciers and breeders to come together and tell me how this guy is turning out. Blue Rocks are very hard to find and I want to be sure this guy is great before I go spend $400+ on getting him flown across the country in the fall. He will be use in my Blue Partridge...

Over the years, I've been collecting contacts for show breeders of all sorts of birds. In this thread, I am going to post links to poultry breeders websites that I have found. I will try to list by state/province. If you want a specific breed, you can PM me and I'll do my best to supply...

Hi everyone! I had bought Russian Orloff chicks to add to my Russian lines and some ended up being these ridiculously heartless chickens. They attack you nonstop. Here is a list of breeds they could be from, but which one is it? Dark Cornish Dark Assils Black Breasted Red Malay Shamos

Hi, for all you who don't know me, I am Black Hackle. Yea, I know my profile says that already, but what gives. This thread will include the growing and criticizing of 3 champion-line Light Sussex roosters as they mature and compete with each other for first pick. The poll is to be used to vote...

Hi I received 8 Light Sussex from a mixture of two different lines recently imported from Europe. They are now almost 1 month old. The 3 cockerels are growing the black hackle feathers and so is the one female, but the 4 others have not a lick of black in their hackles. Is this normal for some...

Hi. I am showing the best of my Partridge Rocks but she planned to go broody. I don't know if you can show broody hens, so I need a way of stopping it ASAP!!

I am making a trip to Washington state sometime next month and am wondering if there are any New Hampshire Red owners down there? Would so love to get my hands on a good trio!!! Looking to spend $300 CAD or more on the birds. Just curious....

Hi quail owners! Looking to expand my farm into the quail and pheasant categories! Just was out shopping for quails when I came across this advertisement for quail pairs. What color variety is the bluish grey one?
