Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens by Gail Damerow

This is perhaps the most thorough treament of chicken culture from A to Z that I have seen. Even the experienced breeder will learn some things.

John Soper is one of the leading waterfowl breeders in the UK and I am proud to call him a friend. His site contains information on the many colors of Call being developed in the UK, among other interesting articles on management and care.

This is a site constructed and run by poultry fanciers from the UK. Good pictures and some nice articles.

Pet Peeves of a Veteran Exhibitor

Having had ducks since I was eleven years old, I cannot imagine being without them. At one time or another, I have owned almost all types of waterfowl, turkeys, and chickens in both the standard (large) and bantam (miniature) sizes.

I became interested in showing waterfowl in my late teens and have done so continuously for the last forty five years. While my first love has always been waterfowl, (ducks and geese) I have bred and shown bantam chickens for the last twenty years or so as well as continuing to work with my established strains of bantam ducks. I am a member of the N.P.I.P. program. My approval number is 558.

One of the hazards of winter flock keeping in my neck of the woods is the risk of falling on slippery ice. This year, the ice has been especially bad so I have taken extra measures to safeguard my health. I have used wood shavings removed from the pens to cover the ice and provide traction. I usually pile it up or add it directly to gardens right over the snow.
