Hi again, Steven! I took a look at your photos of Mr. Jones, and it looks to me as though he has a single comb, rather than the rose comb of the Dominique...
Yes Steven Welcome! Mary was right, we are very busy this time of year. I was unable to view your pics, I tried though. Single combs are not noted on pure...
This is the "Busy" season for anyone who has any size of animal operation; I'm seeking to rebuild after the loss of about 2/3's of last year's Hen/Pullet flock...
The losses last year was from a chickenhawk; but the losses stopped abruptly last fall; I hadn't lost a bird for unknown reasons until last Saturday; If I...
... Steven- I don't know what part of the country you're in - or which type of hawk you're referring to, as there as several which can attack poultry - but...
He (the Hawk) was around most of the summer; he almost got the neighbor's Chihuahua before he decided my chickens were an easier lunch. Not sure of exactly...
Steven, Probably a red tail hawk as they can grow to be very large. I have known of them to pick up fairly large cats and fly off. I have also known of them...
I just got my complimentary copy of the new Storey's Illustrated Guide to Poultry Breeds. My Dominique hen is featured for her breed! I also noticed Eddie...
Congrats, Lily! I'm sure the honor was well-deserved - by BOTH of you! :-) I'll look for it - any idea when it will be released? Old Sturbridge village's...
Lily, That is great! Do you know where one could purchase this book? If so, please list it on the group post and I will make note of it on the web-site. ...
Hi Bryan, I just checked Amazon.com and they have the paperback for $18.96 and the hardcover is $26.60. I'm not sure who else is carrying it yet. Storey ...
Thank you Lily, I will post that information. BRYAN "Lily @ Othala Acres" <lily1013@...> wrote: Hi Bryan, I just checked Amazon.com and they have the...
I had 2 young gamecocks last year; neither of them were "victims" even though the Hawk was regularly having "chicken dinner;" later one of them was "plucked"...
I got a chance to see the book today. Lily, she's just lovely! And what nice photography, too! Also very nice that they listed all the breeders in the back of...
Hi all! I just wanted to share with everyone that we just adopted two of Lily's "pet quality" standard hens to be our pets (and egg providers, of course!)....
No problem mentioning it! I'm so glad they have such a great new home! One correction tho... the 2 little pullets are standard sized pullets, not bantams. So...
... Thank you! ... pullets, not ... Oops! I thought so at first, but David said bantam, and I just thought I'd missed something along the way. Well, maybe I'll...
Okay, now I REALLY understand why all of you love Dominiques! We've had our 2 plus 2 (year-olds and youngsters) for over a week now, and they are such a joy to...
Mary and the rest of y'all, If your state was going to or will pass a law stating that you must place an identification in Emily, Queenie, and the rest, and...

According to my information, this is being done on a State basis. The Amnesty Bill did not pass in Washington D.C. because the lines were jammed from people...
... I understand that. Perhaps I haven't stated my question clearly. In my state, we have state representatives and state senators, who are our representatives...
National Animal ID Program (NAIS) is a program developed by the USDA and is coordinated by each individual state. Why? To be able to do a better, faster job...
Thanks, Bryan, for your common sense opinions and advice on this. I agree that the govt could never manage this - that, of course, doesn't mean they won't try!...
It occurs to me that the fall fairs aren't all that far off. I've never attended a poultry show or, that I can remember, the livestock part of any county fairs...
Just because they are called representatives doesn't mean that they represent the people. I believe in the right to petition, and I do not believe that someone...
Hello Gene, how are you doing? Have you been getting some rain in Augusta? We are finally getting some much needed rain here in the upstate of SC. The...
