-----------------------------Dont start wasting it Foxy! Ros :-)07

There are a few things I check around the coop to help prevent respiratory problems. Ventillation in the poultry house at night is important. There should be sufficient ventillation without the birds being in a draft. Check bedding is not dusty. Wood shavings should be dust extracted. Chopped...

Back in the 1930's at the poultry shows, often there were classes for 'dead birds' that would be killed, weighed and examined for carcase quality and so on.... Imagine that now! People would have a fit!! :-)07

Hello, A warm welcome to the forum from me too :-)08 Tim

Welcome to the forum. :-)08 I hope you enjoy it. Tim

Rupert has emailed me to say they are Porcelain and belong to Miss N. Hine, rather than Mr Dowden (as it says on the file name of the photos). :)

Here are a couple of photos from the Stratford Show yesterday, courtesy of Rupert Stephenson. It is incredibly hard to photograph pairs of birds as you can imagine - so well done Rupert! Now can anyone help me out with the colour?

Salut Katrina et bienvenue a poultrykeeperforum! We can make you feel at home here too :-)07 There are a couple of people from France on here. I spent a year living in Angers when I was a student. If I could have found work, I would have stayed, it's a lovely place. I hope you enjoy the...

Yes, hello Lewis a warm welcome. Must be the only one from Twitter! You always give me a good laugh though when I get up at 5am to see you tweeted "Off to Bed" just an hour or two before. Student life ;) seems a long time ago now :cry:

and.. Welcome from me too! There are a few people with Quail on the forum too. I used to keep them but had to give them up when I moved away and lost my aviary. Have fun! Tim

Hello Karin and welcome! Don't worry we all say things in a funny way sometimes! I'm sure we won't notice. I don't know of many people with Indian Game but it sounds like they are even more rare in Denmark :o I hope you enjoy the forum, Tim

Yes, welcome to the forum. I grew up in Wales, there is certainly some great countryside there. It sounds like you have a great setup there. I hope you enjoy the forum. Tim

Wow.... so now we know.. and we also know who to ask questions on this breed! You certainly know your breed Lord Cluck! :-)08

Wow Lord Cluck... 5 colours... that's impressive, thank you for sharing your experience with us. :-)08 Sharron - I got a photo of a lovely Quail d'Anvers at the National: The catalogue says he belongs to Wallace A.J. Now he is listed as "Normal Quail Cock" Any idea why the 'Normal' ...

The question I have is do you keep them in a covered run through the winter to stop the feathered feet from getting spoilt by mud?

Congratulations Sharron.. If you can PM your address to me and I will send you a keyring! ;) I'm looking forward to hearing from others about Belgian Bantams. Personally, I have never kept them but they do look fantastic.

Hi All, Our hosts had a planned 15 minutes of downtime for 6am this morning and they ran into some 'network difficulties' that resulted in one of our servers that runs the database being offline for the rest of the morning. Sorry if you tried to reach us this morning... there was nothing I...
