Breeding / Re: Egg Fertility

My first thought is diet also. What are the other breeds your customer owns? Once your birds arrived on his place did they accumulate a heavy parasite load?

I have a Continental Cargo single axle 12'x6' v-nose trailer with swing out rear doors and one side door. I considered purchasing a double axle but came across a great deal on this one.
Extra side vents and an enclosed pop-up vent on top were installed to ensure adequate ventilation. Additionally, cages were installed on both interior walls with a walkway in the middle. The built in cages allow the birds a little more freedom of movement and ease feeding/watering on long trips. (I know Jerry De Smidt carries a lot more birds than me just using dog crates.) Extra dog crates/kennels fit underneath the built in cages and down the walkway. The v-nose has plenty of space for a small feed bin, prep box, chairs, etc.
In 2019 I towed the trailer from Texas to The Ohio National (a 16 hour trip one way) without any issues. A double axle may be a little more stable but I'm happy with the performance of this trailer.

Ameraucana Marketplace / ISO Black split to self-blue bantams
« on: July 29, 2020, 11:25:02 AM »
I'm looking for some black bantams split to self blue. Sex is not important but type and beard/muffs are critical. Can wait until our national in November if the birds are out of state.

The TVMDL has all the information you need for NPIP certification in Texas. J.C. Essler is the program coordinator there.

Exhibiting & Promoting / Re: Last Question, I promise--Filling out entry forms
« on: February 10, 2014, 02:17:44 PM »
Jr show/showmanship is for exhibitors under 18. You check the APA/ABA box. You don't need a double coop for Ameraucanas. If the form asks for band numbers then enter them. If not, don't worry about it.

This showed up in one of my Lavender bantam hens immediately before her first moult. I had several young birds exhibit this trait at about 12 weeks of age this year. All have been culled.
