    !any things to know before getting a asil!

    Are you asking for a specific feed brand? If so, I can’t give any recommendations, as I’m guessing you live in the US, and I get mine from a local mill. Most versed Gamefowl breeders make their own feed I suppose, but I’m definitely not one of them. Mine was kept in a slightly more standard...

    !any things to know before getting a asil!

    A lot of it depends on the line. Almost every single aseel/asil rooster will not tolerate others. It will be possible to keep multiple males if you free range. Any mix breed offspring from my aseel male (although his quality was debatable), didn’t inherit the fighting instincts. They are...

    First time Egger!

    Congrats on your new layer! Do you have any photos of all three birds? If only one has a red comb, especially if it’s larger than it used to be, is your likely laying pullet. The only way to know for sure is to catch her in the act, or check for yourself...

    Euphoria are amazing! I’ve got three now, and I would love to get more this year! Eh, not great. The variegata is doing AMAZING. The hirsuta keeps getting worse. I need to repot them in smaller pots and take them out of the sun ASAP. Please do!

    TwoCrows loves using grow lights, so that’s an option! Don’t know how affordable they are/can be though. I leave mine outside. Sure, I’m in Greece, but anything that provides shelter from the rain and the snow should work. They can handle rather extreme temperatures, only a soggy soil can kill...

    LGBTQ+ Poultry Keepers

    I actually found one in the shops too days ago! Didn’t buy it, not sure how I feel about them yet. They’re a gorgeous genus, but I can’t yet decide if the fact that I find their primitive reproductive tactic cooler outweighs its questionable look. What I really would like to find is some...

    What Dog Breed Do You Want Today!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

    Yup! I think most modern lines, especially in their countries of origin have been unethically bred for size and aggression. It’s my understanding that there had always been a dog fighting history within the breed, but now it’s become even more prominent. Thankfully, some lines still remain true...

    LGD, not sure exactly what. Maybe an Alabai?

    They all look wonderful! So very healthy. Ah, that monanthes is always so beautiful :love ! What are you hoping to add this year? A melocactus would go wonderfully with the rest, I think. I remember you wanted one, hope that still stands

    I’m still undecided about them (terracotta pots, that is). They look ten times better, but in terms of difference from the plastic pots, not sure. Certainly better for the environment though. Can’t wait for the lithops and monanthes photos! Glad to read you didn’t lose any. Winter is always...

    Yup, we get that a lot, especially at this stage :lol: ! I can definitely see why, they look very weird but that’s why they’re one of my faves!

    LGBTQ+ Poultry Keepers

    Yup, that’s a really cool looking one! Can’t wait to get it into a terracotta pot this year! Yeah, same here! I took photos of two of the most prominent blooms, but another euphorbia is also forming its buds. How many did you lose this year? The count here is one or two, though both can still...

    Free range breed advice

    Would not have expected that! This breed is full of surprises :lol: . 6months is pretty standard here. I see it as very healthy for the girls. but 5 months isn’t detrimental either, and it would mean that they won’t miss out on their first breeding season

    Free range breed advice

    That’s the goal! The base is a Greek landrace that should be perfect for the environment here. Problem is, not a single one of those ever went broody. Not exactly landrace-like… So at some point I hatched an egg from an Oriental Gamefowl male and a Brahma hen. That chick grew up to be a...

    Free range breed advice

    Well this all sounds great! Seems like they’re not quite as broody as I would have hoped. Heat tolerance seems excellent, so that’s good. I don’t expect any of the males to assume any top position in the hierarchy, but I do like the broodies to fight off any hen that is too rough with the...
