Thanks about the red star question............I raise leghorns so for sure not that breed..............this bird has the exact same plumage, eye, beak, leg color and body style as RIR's, any other ideas? Thanks!

And that says it all........Thank you for your time!

A friend of mine named Kiersten Parkerson raises them...........she is in Safford Arizona and can be found on facebook. Happy hunting!

We had gotten a call about if we wanted a RIR hen as we are now raising them. " Sure" I say, so my wife brings it home and I open the box and it is the same color as a RIR but has "White" ear lobes .......definitely not a RIR. They are not a little white but white like Leghorns have, so I'm...

Howdy, just looking for some chicks, we hatched Korfus Cluckers in 2006 and used them for the Blue gene for Blue Australorps, worked out fine, they have since left this world to the chicken pen in the sky and my wife liked them so much she wants some more, they don't need to be show quality as...

Howdy, I took a peek at your blacks...............Nice! A good foundation to start creating Blues, if you are interested in that. Here is our site, click on the photo section at the top left corner of the page and see what weve been doing since 2006. http://huppfarm.wikifoundry.com/ We have...

Howdy, Im going to be honest and not candy coat anything if you are serious about the quality of your birds. If you are looking to breed Blue Australorps, you want to be serious about your breeding stock if you are just starting out. firstly, look at the leg coloring......no yellow allowed...

She appears to have Andalusian dominating her characters over Australorp. These are the traits in comparison: High pinched tail vs. 40 degree fanned tail with the appearance of a teepee from the rear view. Narrow body vs. full, large, robust, wide, body Tall spindly comb vs. shorter closer to...

Good coloring! you can see the pinched tail and if your going to breed to create Blue Australorps, that is at trait that needs to fan out as close to the standard to blacks as possible, also you want to have white skin under the feathers and pinkish white on the bottoms of the feet. If your just...

The sun will always do that to the blues, I try to keep mine in the shade but still some sun gets on them and reddish brown is the result. Have had many blues and they all get affected.

Howdy Kurt, The one splash is awesome! had 4 blue pullets, one has the best markings, one is wry tailed but good egg layer the other 2 are nice, just a little light. As with any breeding pens.........the more offspring, the bigger variety of keepers and culls. A person can have 100 chicks hatch...

Hey there Ron, curious how your birds turned out? [email protected] Thanks Chet

The DE is great in a box for dust baths, spriknkled over chicken waste that just sits, sprinkled on roost areas and used as a preventive maintenance on the birds. It is an organic razorblade to all pests with an exoskeleton, it gets into the joints of the bugs/insects and destroys them...

I will say this only once because there is no point in kicking a dead horse.................I don't care how well eggs are packed, if they are shipped and sit in a holding station for 5 days and then shipped again taking another 4 day to the final destination, the germ has died, as it must...

RattlesnakeRidgeWV also has nice birds and perhaps he can ship you some hatching eggs since he is closer maybe the postal service will be better also, because it certainly sucks in the southwest area and I cannot take follks money, promise them eggs and have them show up 9 days later and dead...
