I know they are a Bantam....but the Pyncheon is very rare in it's "pure" state.......some man made/crosses are out there. Probably thee oldest "American" Bantam.....and one of the rarest.
I'm not too sure.....For certain I'll be hatching Mille Fleur, Porcelain, and some Whites. Maybe a few of the other project colors: Golden Neck, Blue Mille Fleur, Silver Mille Fleur, Black tailed Reds, and Black tailed Whites. I should also have about 50 Scottish Blackface lambs this Spring...
I never have.....but I suppose I could. I'm working with Silver Mille Fleur this year as well....Pullets look nice....working on the cockerels. I don't like to sell anything 'til I see what it's potential might be. Some birds start out looking good......and then later end up as flops.
I agree........I've had the Pyncheon breed for almost 20 years and have been raising livestock in general for 50 plus years. A lot of hard work and dedication goes into preserving and maintaining any rare breed of livestock...I also raise Scottish Blackface Sheep since 1996 and hope to keep...
Sorry...100% male....he's showing the pointed hackle feathers in the neck hackle and saddle area. He's already getting a larger red comb. His tassel feathers on the head show male as well...I raise a tasseled breed and the young cockerels heads carry the same characteristics as your guy.
