Poultry Talk Ontario (pto.ca)

I would not use an email service that is with a company that is in the business of selling ads. I have been with a free service at zoho.com. They also have paid services but my free box can handle 1000's of email that I forward to my windows mail. I have never received even one ad from them to upgra...

Why is everyone male bashing our roosters. Dogs bark, children cry and wail, trucks are loud, sirens abound, birds screech. Lifestyles and cultures are all offered great protection. All of that is ok and acceptable, but the poor rooster he can't dare to practice his culture and lifestyle. Off with h...

Not a comparison chart but very detailed information on many rare or unheard of poultry breeds worldwide. Parts of site like waterfowl, bovines etc. still under construction. Check out the "Gilyan" Roosters up to 15 lbs. Hens 13 lbs. Almost a walking dinosaur. https://www.domesticforest.com/chickens/

Just a thought. Maybe the forum needs to be more mobile friendly. I never access it that way but I think more and more people only use mobile access. I am one of those that checks it daily but only comments if I think I have something to add to the thread. Not just water cooler talk. Although some o...

I think Facebook really interferes with the forums. Especially when looking for eggs or breeders. I am not on Facebook but am noticing more and more breeders only post on there so at times I'm tempted to join but it is definitely not really my thing. I think that will grow old quickly too as there i...

I feed 15% broiler breeder ration that I get from Floradale feeds. Most of the larger mills carry some version of that.

You could switch the grower out for pullet developer. Most feed mills carry it. The protein level may be a little lower.
If they still get to roam outdoors then I would not be too concerned leaving as is.

If you don't care for the staining and end results there are yellow beets. We planted them this year for the first time and they seem to taste the same. My wife really prefers them now.
My favourite way is fresh boiled with plenty butter and salt or sweet pickled.

I have looked at the Deathlayers.... just too many projects on the go at the moment. There are a few breeders in Western Canada that have them. I may end up with some you never know. Thanks JimW. Don't think I have the quote thing figured out but I did contact a breeder and am hopeful of making some...

I think the "Deathlayer" ranks right up there with the most beautiful free run yard chickens out there. Just imagine about a dozen or so making it across your yard. I did contact Greenfire to order a few with some other breeds a few months ago but was told that they are currently not shipping for ex...
