    They are in the census report but you have to look close to see the line, but I nor the other breeder that have them are not registered with them , and the numbers are so low , one good disaster and it will be over . That is why we keep them at 2 locations.

    Lamona Chicken Fanciers Thread

    I shipped quite a few this spring , but with the cost of the eggs and poor performance of of hatching after shipping( yes I stand behind them) I credited the cost of eggs towards pairs and trios, so currently I am only selling adults .

    Mandarins and muscovy eggs

    yes they all need to be turned, mandarin eggs are 26-28 days , muscovies incubate for 35 days. from your question , I feel you may be a beginner soooo I would not recommend mandarins, as they can be difficult and are not really a duck for a beginner

    Bob Blosl's Heritage Large Fowl Thread

    this is true to a point but when you break down the genus they are technically chickens , a better way to lay it out is the wild mallard as an example: it is Genus : anus/cairina species : ana platyrhynchos and the domestic duck which all but the (muscovies) are from is ana platyrhynchos...

    Jungle fowl are " chickens" Now maybe there are no pure jungle fowl in the US ....but by its own definition if you take a pure jungle fowl and cross it with a "domestic" chicken u get a bird that is fertile and will reproduce. if you take a horse and a donkey you get a "mule" that usually all...

I was amazed that he was able to squeeze through...

    I believe you are 100 % correct , and after an out-cross and years of line breeding , you have should have a pure line that breeds true. Sports alway pop up , problem with some is they may believe some production birds (hatchery strains) are pure , True master breeders are people recognized by...
