Male Infertility and vent triming


 I have a 08 mostly laudino male who has yet to fill and egg. I was dusting him today and realized he is overly fluffy and loose feathered.( WHat ever they used to add rec. white to him must have been very well feathered. ) It decided to trim his vent by pulling alot of the feathers around the area. Hopefully this will help. Has anyone had to trim vents on any spanish pouter breeds? I dont know why I never thought of it before. What spanish pouter breeds have recessive white and are loose feathered?

Maybe he has Marchenero blood? I don't know.

Granadino would be the idea cross for recessive white. I am not sure if it is in Jiennense. I do have it in Picas though.

I have had to trim Marcheneros and some Gaditanos. It makes a big difference with the Marchies.

I trim the vent as close as possible with sharp scissors. I also cut off the tail, primary flights and hocks.

There are recessive white Jiennense but they are few and far between, I think because they prefer the fiery red eye. Extreme grizzles with orange eyes are quite popular.

The interesting thing is in the sun his eyes are blood red except for the "eye sign" area and they are black. I am crossing my figures and hope he will fill an egg. For now I am putting him on a catalonian hen. I he fills it then I will look for a pouter hen. He is an awesome flier and has great drive and fire. I put him in the all hen loft yesterday and f hens began to chase him, it was like a suelta with hens.

Good luck with him Matt, a bit of wheatgerm oil might help things along a bit too.

Wow! You always come up with some great photos!

I wonder how Grizzle on ash red bar combined with faded would turn out. You would think it would white-out.

I expect it probably would show very little colour, if any at all.
