Thanks for the great pictures, Kathyinmo! Wish I had been there.

Agreed! But... Sometimes it is awfully difficult to locate good breeders that want to sell good stock. And... good breeders often don't want to let good stock go to a beginner or an unknown? As my MIL would say "I don't mean that meanfully".

It's raining hard right now but I will try for a different angle on that comb. I might measure it... an interesting bit to keep along with the weight. I appreciate the close look.

I have some from them. I like their color better than my other groups so far, too. In fact the picture I posted of the 12 week olds are SHP breeding.

I am being a pest about these Redcaps but there is not any other thread that might provide opinions. The redcap threads are dead. You are all so right about scarcity of source for these guys but I'd like to make a start at making them more "desirable?".They are really pretty reliable layers so I...

Thanks ashandvine. I always like to share my picts! This picture shows how small many Redcaps have gotten. This is a 12week old Ameraucana cockerel with a 12 week old RedCap pullet next to him, behind them is a RC cockerel same age. According to SOP mature RedCap males should weigh a full pound...

No one has been discussing Redcaps but they are a Heritage breed. I wanted to share pictures of my oldest cock from this year's hatch. He's leading the pack so far in weight but I wondered if anyone is familiar enough with the breed to comment on him. He's 5 months old. I haven't found any...

and very, very time consuming.

Thank you! Fertility... that must have been what I read. Funny how you can read something and not pay much attention and later you half remember. Unfortunately, the hatcheries are the only source of Redcaps that i have been able to find. I have been culling brutally and kinda like how things...

I am trying to get Redcaps established here. I got day olds from Ideal this summer. The Ideals will be a new, separate, second, breeding flock. Several of them have a single comb... my immediate response was "obvious cull". I remember reading somewhere /something about holding on to a few with...

I ran a search and got this: Jeff Oxley, 9670 Oxley R,D Athens, OH 45701 740.593.6537 [email protected] Hope it works

I'd love to see pics, too!

There are quite a few Sussex eggs on eBay right now... Light, Coronation, Speckled and I think one other. I don't have any Sussex... can't have another breed... no room... but they are sure pretty birds.

I need to meet KathyinMO!

Thank you. I'll do that.

Quote: Okay...time to show my stupidity... but how do you push for high egg production? Keep records and breed high producing birds and cull the rest? Is there more? I have Doms and Redcaps... not Orps... but in Dom hens, especially, the fluffy butt will creep in. This time of year I get an egg...
