    I believe the qualifying for Naked Necks (showgirls) is the national show in Knoxville, TN....Dec 7&8. I know they are trying to get as many NNs there as possible. The standard was listed in the last newsletter from the ASBC.

    Spitzhaubens

    It took me a while when I first started to tweek things. I incubate in a hovabator at 45-50% H and 100 temp then I don't LD til the day before they are suppose to hatch. I lower the temp to around 97-98 cause the chicks are creating their own heat and humidity around 60. So far that has worked...

    Spitzhaubens

    Hello all...I 3 spitzhaubens about 3 months ago and am new to the breed so I have got to educate myself now that they are nearing breeding age. I really like them especially the fact that they seem fairly docile. Though they eat like little pigs. I have a gold spangled and what I think is 2...

    Not an Emergency...Marek's in the Flock

    Karen..this is my friend I PMed you about. If all the other chickens are vaccinated her son will still be able to show won't he? I mean this is not a death sentence is it? Adults can be vaccinated can't they?

    Eggs zip but chick dies before it pushes out of of egg.

    I was talking to my friend whos eggs I am incubating and told her about all this.. She thinks it makes a lot of sense because when she checked back...about the time she changed from the higher protein and more ingredients in it to straight laying pellets....that was when the problem happened...

    Eggs zip but chick dies before it pushes out of of egg.

    There does seem to be some validity in what you are saying. I have always hatched pretty much the same way for 4 years and this has been a new and frustrating problem. Especially since 2 completely zipped but did not seem to have the energy to push out. May have to see about some changes there...

    Eggs zip but chick dies before it pushes out of of egg.

    This is the second hatching this has happened. The eggs will zip..some completely..some almost complete then the chick dies. I incubate at 99.5-100 with humidity 45-50 and LD temp at 99 and Humidity around 55. There are a few who hatch fine but it seems that the splash have the problems. I have...

    They are zipped right about mid way of the shell...toes look good. Could it be they just get weak after all the work of pipping. They pipped last night and this happened app noon today. Another was pipped and was DIS as well. This has been an on going problem and seems to be mostly the splash...

    I could really use some advice/help. This has never happened to me and is confusing. I had some chicks to hatch Thursday. 2 zipped when I was leaving for a couple hours. Came home and that had not changed and I heard not chirping. Took them out and both where DIS. Today....Very same thing...

    I have to talk POLISH!

    Do not beat yourself up. You would not believe how many people I have seen or have had bring chicks/chickens to me who where told they where something completely something different. It is sad that people mislead others to just make money off of them. Makes my furious! Especially when it comes...

    Silkie thread!

    I know this is from a post way back. You can go to a greenhouse supplier and buy shade cloth really cheap. It is what I use on top of my run, But if you are in an area where it snows take off in the winter cause it can't go through it. It also gives a bit of shade to the chickens and is...

    I have to talk POLISH!

    The roos have all the nice colorful plumage while the hens are a bit subdued which is typical in most bird species. I have worked breeding them for 3 years.now and that has been consistent. In my F3 gen. the hens did pic up a little of the reddish color in pen feathering which was really nice...

    Actually I was catching the pics on the move. He was not too keen in staying still for me. He is new and was not handled much by the previous owner. This is a really bad pic. It was in the hottest part of the day where the lighting was overhead. Really bleached out the colors. Hope to get...

    Spitzhaubens

    I have a chamois pair....hoping to have eggs this fall. At what age do they usually start laying? I also have a GS. Do I need a GS to breed to her or is she OK with the chamois. I can tell you about silkies, polish and rhodebars but not a thing on spitz!

    Will try to get better pics. As I said it was the middle of the day and really bleached out the pics..the rocks did not help. I just wanted to see what was thought about his confirmation. He really loves to pose for certain.
