Find yourself some heritage RIRs. They are big, gorgeous dark red colored, and are very mellow sweet birds. Stay away from the hatchery birds they are not the same as the heritage reds. Even most of the heritage red roosters are very mellow tempered.

Go to www.fertrell.com They have formulas for various ages of chickens and they do have a chick starter formula. You would have to buy their supplements to put in the formulas but it makes a very good quality feed. If you have a feed mill that can make up feeds you can just get the...

Your welcome. As far as culling goes I meant that in a general term. Someone with a hobby flock would be thrilled to have such a pretty bird. As far as the neck lacing on #2 that may come in later on as she matures more. You should always go for the size and type first. You can always work...

Hello. I see none of the more knowledgable breeders of this beautiful variety of wyandottes has commented on your post yet so will give you my opinion of the best ones. I am by no means an expert on this variety but I have looked into getting some quality ones in the past and may in the future...

I will have chicks a little later on in the spring.

The Houdans are generally very good layers as well. The heritage reds are generally good layers also although not quite as good as the houdans.

My Mottled Houdan hens are some of the friendliest most personable birds I have ever had. They are like little puppies crowding around your feet and trying to trip you when you go in their pen. Very talkative and personable. I raise them and have 3 different bloodlines of them that are not...

[QU Hello Its good to see you wanting to get back into Houdans again. There are more people starting to get into raising them again. As far as Cackles birds go they aren't too bad. Still have some hatchery type faults in them but are overall pretty good if you cull down to the very best...

I'm so glad to hear they like the DE. They love the dustyness of it. Its also good for them internally. I mix a small handful of it in with my birds feed every day and it helps to keep them free of worms. I prefer to use natural products rather than chemicals. Thanks for letting me know they...

Wow some very nice birds you have there. They definitly are good quality birds. You have a very nice start with them. As far as the dust bathing yes they may not know what to do. Do you have the sand in a container (cat litter pan ect) If not put it in a pan of some sort and mix some...

Your welcome on the pics. I sent you a PM on the shipping and prices.

I just thought you might like to see some better pics I got of some of the cockerals today. The first & 3rd had there heads plucked bald when I had changed their feed for a couple days but they are growing in nicely.

Your welcome maralpz2006. Thank you for waiting I just dont like the idea of sending them this time of year with all the packages in the mail. I'm afraid they might get lost. Also I need your town and zip code to get the price info for the post office.

Maralpz2006 I would like to wait till early January to send the birds so you can wait till then to pay if you would like. Maybe one of the cockerals will turn into a pullet by then and I could get you a pair. lol I have to check with the post office anyway to see how much it will cost to ship...

maralpz2006 sorry to take so long to get back to you. I finally got some head pics of the 2 chicks that I wasnt sure about yesterday while the sun was shining. The other 3 chicks I am pretty sure are roosters as they are starting to crow ! Puddin Fluff yes I like the teenage houdans too. I...

maralpz2006 Thanks for being willing to wait. I will let you know if I have a female too. I will try to get some pics and post them here (if I can figure out how lol) of the ones I'm nnt sure of as Puddin Fluff suggested. The Urch line birds are different than my old line of Houdans. On...

I may have a rooster in another month or two. I have 5 three month old chicks out of my Duane Urch line houdans and they are looking to all be boys. I am not 100% sure yet though but it would be my luck if they are as I have several people that want pullets. So if you can wait a bit till...

Does anyone know where Bob Blosls RIR bantams ended up or who might have some of his line. I've been looking for some out of his line for a while but can't find out who may have any of them. If anyone knows please let me know. Thanks

Puddinfluff I hope your Houdan girl turns out to be a good mother and hatches some chicks. You should get yourself a houdan roo so you can raise some purebreds and help improve the breed. I had a female several years back that used to come in the house. Actually she was raised in the house...
