    Normally breeding a bantam to a large fowl you would get all intermediate birds. Not big enough for a large and not small enough for a bantam. Then you would need to breed the intermediates together, brother to sister. Will have to hatch a lot of chicks. 50% of the chicks will be intermediates...

    Thanks, but I'll be doing some breedings this year that might go against the grain. TYPE is number one. We can't lose sight of that. Read the Standard of Perfection...if possibe, once a day till it's ingrained in your brain. We all know there is no perfect bird out there. Breed pluses to minuses...

    Can't wait for the Congress show. In my years of showing birds around New England I was usually the only person showing large Faverolles. In the bantams my friend Eddie and I would compete. Sorry to say Eddie doesn't have them anymore. It's possible we could have five exhibitors showing large...

    Once the birds get use to the taste it makes them drink more in the winter time, they won't get dehydrated. The thing is you need to give them BRAGG'S apple cider vinegar. This is a mistake I made years ago. When I went to the market to buy ACV you could see right through the bottle, all the...

    HA HA is right. I guess I am an old timer. Will be 66 in November. Can't wait to retire. If my health stays with me then I can get back into showing. Hope everyone has a great holiday. Dick

    Sorry to hear. At times it seems we always lose our favorite birds. I have an old hen that is wheezing. All I do when I have that problem is stick a piece of garlic down its throat. Garlic is a natural antibiotic and i believe it also takes care of worms if the bird has any. Not saying it will...

    The large blacks are looking great. All colors still need work.....there is no perfect chicken, it's just something we strive for. Dick
