Joseph, Yes Scott does live in GA...sent you a msg on FB.

It is so cool to see different traits inherited from the NH's and BR's....overall the male leans more toward NH in form to me...coloration of course the Barred is dominant. The females resemble the NH's more in form as well except I see the BR coming through in their heads and combs in a big...

Marcia, I am using a 100 watt 'energy efficient' light bulb in my 8'x12' pen...birds are laying very well with this....K is fertile too.

The standard bred black Minorcas I've seen are definitely tall and large birds....beautiful IMO too. I think they have a steady temperament for being one of the 'hot' Mediterraneans too.

I like these even better than cartons...reusable after sanitizing too. You can find them on ebay or some poultry suppliers online. Usually around $4.

Congrats....very nice birds and a fine job on conditioning as well!!

Wow, that is a funky pelvis! Great pics!

My husband won't eat any other eggs than ours for fear of the 'funky' sulfur smell and flavor. I never have fermented feed, but if I were to raise some meatbirds in the future for my family, then I would want to try this most definitely. More and more with the way things are going in the U.S...

Excellent! I don't do 'gamey' flavor well...wondered about that on older birds. Do you think it's the fermented feed making the difference? It's reasonable to believe that what a bird is fed would flavor the meat I suppose...like 'corn fed' angus beef. I don't think that eggs from birds fed feed...

You will enjoy those birds....vigor deluxe, calm and hard working not to mention they are very good layers of nice, large eggs. The males mature rather fast for meat as intended by the creators..I have some from Jeremy as well. His cross has the Good Shepherd meat strain in it via the hen...

Thanks Vickie...guess we'll see how animated she becomes at Tucson. Beekissed---When handling this bird, I don't get the impression that her cushion or weight for that matter are due to fat deposits...at 5 months, this bird feels rock solid....but that is an interesting theory..and your BA's...

forgot to add this quick side shot I caught late this afternoon...feather width is good just have to wait and see if it will lift....I am not counting on it though

LF Buff Rock. the Good news: 5 months. 7.5 lbs. Love her big and wide head. Pretty darn even color throughout. Excellent depth and length of body and nice, tight wings. Tail is still finishing length. the Bad news: oh dear, the dreaded cushion albeit, the tail is not done, it looks like it...

Jeff, Congrats on both of those gifts! I would not mind getting either or both, myself. Love Percherons. It's costlier to have them trimmed/shod ...but they are so nice to be around...ride and drive fine too...gentle giants. Most Percherons are black but I have seen an occasional grey. Make sure...
