Hello All, I would like to let you know about a change of ownership of the forum. As some of you will know, I have been busy with work and my other website poultrykeeper.com, so I have only had time to work on the admin tasks to keep the forum running. After 14 years of running the forum, I...

Hi all, I wanted to share our publishing schedule for poultrykeeper.com for the next couple of months. I've got the following ready to publish. There may be a few others slotted in if time allows. January 3rd: Success Breeding Chickens - Prepotent Males by poultry genetics expert Grant...

I have a pair of Brecon Buff Geese for sale. £70 for the pair. Originally purchased from Ashton Waterfowl, 2011 Hatch. I've bred from them for the last couple of years and would like to reduce my numbers slightly. Here is the Gander at the front: And the goose / his mate: They are proven...

Here are a few photos of Pekin Bantams. Please feel free to add photos to this thread - It's nice to see birds in their natural surroundings too!

Some photos of Cochin Chickens:

Here are a few photos of the different colour varieties of Appenzeller Spitzhauben.

Hello all, I'm creating a set of new forums (look at the bottom of the index page), one for each breed of poultry (and one for hybrids too). I will add the photos I have taken over the years to each of these as I go, it's a big task though as they aren't sorted by breed on my hard drive...

Some Ancona Bantam photos:

Hi all, We are very fortunate to have some really good moderators on the forum who keep an eye out for spammers for us and members can also 'report posts' via an icon shown at the top of every post, however there are a few other ways to post links to un-reputable websites. I have been cleaning...

Hello all, I thought there might be someone out there interested in this position. It is a paid, part-time (2 days per week) role. The ad. has been posted on our poultry news page: http://poultrykeeper.com/poultry-news/part-time-secretary-administrator-for-the-british-waterfowl-association

Hi all, The ads at the bottom of the forum aren't really working - I haven't worked it out exactly but we're only covering about a month of our running costs each year. I haven't worried too much about adverts because the main site sells adverts and these currently cover our running costs as...

So, not long to go to the National Poultry Show 2012. Again, being held across two halls with around 6000 exhibits! I'm going to be there with Rupert taking photos and I have a nice trio of Light Sussex that I've hatched from Nick Smiths bloodline booked in for a sale pen but bottled out of...

Hello all, Richard Jackson of Chickenvet is now writing bi-monthly (it was quarterly) articles for the Poultry Diseases section of the poultrykeeper site. I asked him whether he would be able to write about the different types of droppings produced by poultry from fit and healthy through to...

Hello all, I've been rather busy over the last 6 months working on the new poultrykeeper website so haven't been on the forum as much as I would have liked... There's still some information missing - Turkeys and Quail for example and I'm still debugging some other bits and pieces. I have...

I had an email from Jo Barlow, a friend of mine last night: "I have just got back from rehoming 700 hens today. Biggest rehoming in Cornwall. Amazing amount of girls. With last weeks 450 and next weeks 300-400 we are almost at 1500 in December. Still thousands going to slaughter but it is an...

Hello all, I've been talking with some Germans about Faverolles and I'm trying to make sure I have my facts and understanding right. The Deutscher Lachshünner or German Faverolles was (I'm told) split from the French and the British as early as 1905 into a seperate Breed. The German Bantam...

Hello All, I took some photos at the National (umm about 500 that I have reduced down to 150 reasonable photos!). The link below takes you to 132 of these photos which I have uploaded onto the poultrykeeper Facebook page. There are far too many to put on here... :roll: I hope you like them...

Just to remind you that the BWA National is taking place tomorrow. It's a great show for waterfowl enthusiasts and there are always bargains to be had in the sale pens. The venue has changed this year - so don't go heading off to Solihul... It's going to be held at Warwickshire College. More...
