My Delaware Flock, Isaac & the Ladies (Newer Pics Below)

feeds@yuku.com (speckledhen) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 17:10:29 GMT

Haven't posted pics of my Delaware crew lately. They are about 29 weeks old, I guess, except the one older hen.

Breed? What's a breed?

feeds@yuku.com (treegod) — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 11:06:06 GMT
Actually I'm joking. I know what breeds are, but if you looked at my chicken coop you might think differently, it's quite a mixture. I said in another post I have eight breeds, it's interesting to see what comes from this mixing! One of those eight (a hen) was hatched before me and my girlfirend took charge of the coop from a friend and so may herself be a mix. She's our sense of "continuity" in the flock and our top rooster is hers from last year.

Will these still be Isa browns ?

If I breed a Rhode Island Red Rooster with some Isa Brown Hens do you think they could still be sold as Isa Browns?

Buff Sebrights?

feeds@yuku.com (dsacco) — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 07:04:59 GMT
Anyone know DECENT BREEDER of buff sebrights? My daughter did really well at the local 4-H show last week with her little buff and she LOVES her!! She wants more - but I wanted to check to see if there are any breeders that do buff ones.

I NEED help with New Hampshire Reds PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

feeds@yuku.com (Yotuck) — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 20:13:10 GMT
Oh dear, I am afraid I have messed up. I was at our local fair where for the first time I didn't win above class. My New Hampshire Reds weren't even considered (I was the clerk-I had to bit my tongue as he passed them 3 times to see others) After the show I asked him about the problem with the Reds. He said age and coloration, another man walking close to the cages made a smart remark out loud about "whoever entered these birds didn't even know what a New Hampshire Red...

Brahma Chickens - Partridge/Golden Pencilled

Heel low:

Has anyone produced gold pencilled (a.k.a. Partridge) Brahmas?

I believe I have produced two young pullets that will mature into Partridge bantam Brahmas. I would post a jpg if'n I could be told how to on this forum. These are a F2 generation cross from an F1 Dark (Silver Pencilled) Brahma Bantam hen x Buff (Gold Columbian) Brahma Bantam cock--done to improve type/conformation in my Darks which have awesome pencilling (genetics from a fellow with 60 years...

Is he a rooster?

feeds@yuku.com (ghodder) — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 18:07:43 GMT
I ordered 50 Hens. One of my Golden Comets is white. Is he a rooster? He/She is at the bottom and they are 6 weeks old now.

Spangled Russian Orloffs anyone?

feeds@yuku.com (bluroze) — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 22:00:50 GMT
If any of you out there have some pics of Spangled Russian Orloffs, male and female, at around 13 weeks age, could you please post them? I'm trying to figure out if I've got the two pullets I ordered or if one is actually a roo in disguise.

Red Shouldered Yokohamas

feeds@yuku.com (eggcentric) — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 20:43:20 GMT
I impulse bought some Yokohamas (red shouldered), three weeks old. Straight run.

Can anyone tell me what they're like for 1) laying, and 2) temperament.

Not having them from day olds, they seem a little flighty, but are starting to calm down and not hate me. They're going to be added to my mixed flock I think, so I'd love to know what they're like (besides being purty

Final Choice...Introducing Isaac, my Delaware Flock Sire

feeds@yuku.com (speckledhen) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 16:37:26 GMT
Isaac, formerly known as The Rockstar, is turning 15 weeks old. The runners up are in their own quarters and Ike has all five girls to himself. I'm very pleased with his conformation, even though he'll fill out lots more in the next couple of months and his juvenile markings will continue to clear. Here's Isaac

I have 4 young silkies that I am still trying to decide what sex they are. I can't post pics right now cause I don't have my camera software installed on my laptop, and my pc is out of commision till I move some chicks from my computer room. They were hatched out the later part of Feb. according to the lady I got them from. Pics would sure help me alot. I have 3 blacks and 1 blue. Thanks in advance for any help.

Delawares @ 13 Weeks Old

feeds@yuku.com (speckledhen) — Wed, 27 May 2009 19:11:51 GMT
Hi, all! I'm down to four pullets and three cockerels. I'll eventually pick one of the boys as my flock sire. They are shaping up so nicely! I dont recall any of my 13 week old kids being this huge other than maybe the BBS Orps. I have an 11 month old Delaware pullet left from my first hatch and she will be with them, but I have tried twice to put her in. Those young stud see that red comb and they go after her with a vengeance! She is so mild mannered, not sure how I'll get her...

new bird in town

Check this chicken sized bird from an Indonesian island!!!! Yahoo did a feature on it today. Appears to look a little like a guinea (has a bony bulb on top of it's head and yellow skin on face. Has black upper parts and salmon under. It buries it's very large egg (5 times the size of a chicken egg) in the volcanic sand, using sun 's heat or volcanic heat to incubate it's egg!! The chick can fly when it hatches and cares for itself!! Called a Maleo and is found only on...

Road Island Red vs. a Production Red

feeds@yuku.com (Yotuck) — Sat, 02 May 2009 22:52:24 GMT
OK, we bought 25 of so RRRs last year. They are making eggs a plenty. But I was told by someone who knows enough about chickens to be dangerous that what I have a "Production" RRRs not the real thing........ are they a cross with something else?

My Newest Venture....Heritage Delawares

feeds@yuku.com (speckledhen) — Fri, 01 May 2009 11:52:56 GMT
With the help of an awesome Delaware breeder, I am off and running on developing a good quality Delaware flock. Had a false start, hatched a batch, got two girls and kept one cockerel. He had a comb flaw then developed an attitude so was culled. Then lost one point of lay pullet to a heart condition. Put the remaining pullet in the laying flock temporarily. Hatched a new batch in February. Had 9 cockerels and 5 pullets. I currently still have four cockerels and five pullet, though one pair...

E-bay Seramas Ind.

feeds@yuku.com (pondguy2004) — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 06:05:21 GMT
Since nobody else is on here, I'll do all the talking. I'm in central Ind.. Bought 12 Serama eggs on E-bay from north central Ky.. 100% began developing, after all the bad I heard about Serama's fertility! Last year, bought Call Ducks from Oh.. 9 ducklings from 15 eggs! Probably the best E-bay egg results of the year, from what is supposed to be the most difficult breeds to hatch. Could it be the amount of handling they get?? Close is good!! Far is bad!! Tim

Cal. Greys in Ind.

feeds@yuku.com (pondguy2004) — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 08:29:00 GMT
It's raining and am extremely bored! Bought a few California Greys from Ideal last Oct.. These roosters have the most absurd, huge single combs I have ever seen!! Much larger than what I see on Feathersite. A real treat, enjoy my trip to the white egg pen every day!! Plus, self sexing, calm, and good natured, so far. If I knew how to do the picture thing, I'd show you some. Breeding some Cal. Whites (Cal. Grey X White Leghorn) and either, this sex-link thing doesn't work,...

Anyone familiar with SALMON FAVEROLLES?

feeds@yuku.com (Jordi44) — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 10:18:46 GMT
It must be spring - even if it is single digits yet - but I have the chick itch. I'm thinking about a batch of Salmon Faverolles. Any comments from anyone - the good, bad, whatever? My daughter can show them in 4-H and I read somewhere that they're good winter layers (my New Hamps dried up on me this winter really early on). I'd appreciate any comments anyone has - never even seen one that I can remember. Seems like I have to try something new every few years, just on a...

I have 5 Dom Roos that are about ready to put with pullets. If I posted the five here would or could you help me judge the true "type" I need to be breeding? Is there ANYONE here that could do that with any amount of certainly?

I was hoping this cockeral was going to be a pullet. Not so. Any how, he started out as a blue, and now he has other colors. Is he a splash?
