    What breeding(s) are used to create commercial "cornish x rocks"?

    I am going to experiment with it. From my understanding it goes like this: You have a hen and rooster from breed A and breed B, you then breed Rooster A to Hen B and Rooster B to Hen A. Then you take the AB and BA offspring and breed them together. I think it may cause a doubling of a gene...

    Incubator/hatching questions? Any input may be helpful.

    Forgot to add, I am using a Brinsea Eco 20, no automatic turner. I was turning eggs slightly on regular basis. But only half turns because of the broken air cell.

    Incubator/hatching questions? Any input may be helpful.

    I have been hatching my own and bought eggs for a couple of years now. I just recently ordered some eggs and popped them in the incubator. The first morning (13 hrs in) my temp dropped to 98.9. I know at 11 p.m. the temp was 99.5. I just pulled everything tonight and cracked them, day 6. Totals...

    It's poison ivy. An old BF of mine got it like this after clearing a hillside of "brush" for a family friend. I had to use a spray bottle on him in the morning to get him unstuck from the sheets! Needless to say I slept on the couch for awhile.

    Chicken COVERED in mites!!!

    You can use several things. The main thing is to get them off of her ASAP! They are literally draining the life out of her. She is going to need a good quality diet and supplements to build her back up. Poor girl!

    San Bernardino Count, Ca Predator help! Good info.

    Several months ago I posted how the coyote's came in and killed my entire flock. This last Saturday they killed and ate my beloved pug, Kaiser. I can't explain the attachment to this dog. Let just say I am grieving really hard. When my flock was killed I called Animal Control and F&G and was not...

    I lost my whole world on 4-17-12

    Well they still have not started chemo on my dad. I feel they are dragging their feet so they won't have to. We are now waiting for authorization for a lung biopsy, then after that an appointment with a specialist, then a second appointment with a specialist and then they will discuss whether...

    Post Pics Of Orps/ Orpingtons HERE

    My 75% English Orpingtons. I have one hen and 3 roos, (I gave one roo away but have access to him for breeding). I really loved the darkest one in here but he developed some pretty severe wry neck and skeletal deformities and now he is just a pet and will not be use for breeding. I actually...

    Roo or hen?

    These are from the 5 mutts that I hatched October 12th. I spotted the 2 hens by the first week. One has me stumped though. Was very quick to feather out on the tail and shoulders and I was confidant it was a hen, now I am not sure. I am getting ready to take the roos to a friend and need all the...

    Eggtopsy: What happened to my egg? {Graphic Pictures}

    I am looking for English Orpigton eggs right now. I found some, but the they are pretty pricey and shipping from a looooooong way away. Might hold off until spring, then more options will be available. Might even just order live chicks as I found a site with beautiful English Orpingtons and live...

    Eggtopsy: What happened to my egg? {Graphic Pictures}

    I had a hatch just about 2 weeks ago, I messed up my dates (it was day 19) and candled one and realized 4 were internally pipped and all 7 were alive and kicking. I was running the swamp cooler still so humidity was ok. But 2 never pipped (internal or external) and were dead by the next day. The...
