    Plz help

    I see that pose in my lavender Ameraucanas from time to time. I've got one chick this hatch that is so bad, she rolls right over backward when she drinks. But she and all the others thrive in every other way. I won't use them as breeders but it doesn't seem to effect their survival potential so...

    Mites: I've tried EVERYTHING

    Mites: I've tried EVERYTHING

    Mites are probably one of the most difficult pests you will encounter. I know that has certainly been the case here. The trouble is, most of the stuff we use to try to fight them is only effective against mites for about 2 weeks. The sad fact is, you will probably never entirely eliminate the...

    Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

    Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

    One does not have to hatch thousands of eggs to develop a line or a good bird. I have seen the evidence of that with my own eyes. One DOES have to cull - HARD. On that part we agree. However, with Marans, we still have to pick our battles because we are still dealing with so many issues. The sad...

    Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

    Interesting that you bring this up. The thing I think is my major weakness is that I may have come to prefer the look of a Marans bird that may not necessarily be built to the Standard. It is what I am used to and what I have come to like, right or more probably, wrong. Wynette gets on me about...

    Bob Blosl's Heritage Large Fowl Thread

    There is a fairly serious and significant movement going on here (Ontario, Canada) right now to preserve, sustain, and, I believe, promote "heritage genetics", promoted by the "Poultry Industry Council" of Canada. http://www.poultryindustrycouncil.ca/ Likely significant to poultry in all of...
