I've never known Ideal's to be crossed, despite what many said years ago and my assumptions at first. Ideal's stock does have quite the little bag of genetic diversity though. I never got single combs but I know of some who did; I never got rosecombs but George McLaughlin mentioned and even...

Where'd you get them? From what I can tell, I'd suspect a feather picking issue or something else that kept the tail from growing well. I can't see very well from this angle, but it doesn't look like evidence of the rumpless gene.

The birds I have seen I'm pretty happy with considering the stock I originally began with. I recently moved to Colorado Springs, so currently I'm not around my birds; but I paired them up the way I wanted them bred and my father's currently caring for them until I find a place to put them and...

They're really not as big as they look sometimes in photos. In the Netherlands the biggest weight they are supposed to be for cocks is 6.6lbs. That's no different than many of the American game we had; we had quite a few hatch greys, McRae X Rubles, etc. Which all came around 6lbs, one came...

The Kraienköppe are exceptional flyers, especially if spooked . They're also very intelligent to boot, if they are flighty they are some of the most difficult birds I've found to catch- they'll squeeze through a whole you may not even see. I've also got feed cups on my pens turned so birds...

Pretty much just like game. I treat them just like I did my games and they do well, except I don't have to be so strict on them in terms of keeping cocks separate.

I keep my KK just like I did my American game. Singles are oftentimes kept in round pens which I believe measure out to being somewhere around 3X3, height is usually 4-5 though we do have some 6 foot pens; I also have some pens which are about 4X5X4/5' that I keep singles or pairs in. These are...

Been a while since I posted, I thought I had subscribed so I'd get email updates but apparently not. You will need a covered pen for the Kraienköppe, I kept some cull hens around once to put in the egg laying flock I had (now I have no need for cull hens or a egg laying flock my young hens I'm...

Looks good to me Nosipho, I like him!

One of this years cockerels. He's still pretty young and growing in so he could change, but so far I kind of like him for the most part.. If all goes well we're having a show here in MS, January 24th. I'm considering taking him and possibly 7-8 pullets, maybe another cockerel, one of my brood...

She is most likely a Ideal Silver Kraienköppe, I'm not aware of any other breed they have that would fit the description. From what I can see so far, she looks pretty breeder worthy to me (For American birds), I really like her head from what I can see and her leg color. If you found a "good...

The young chicks may still require a light until they feather out, like any normal chick, but they are a cold hardy breed. Here in the US (Mississippi) we've had winters down to around 15 degrees (-9 Celsius) and my Kraienköppe loved it, even the young ones as long as they were properly...

I'd grow them out; sometimes birds will hatch yellow legged- change white, then back yellow. Others I've seen do the opposite, hatch white then turn yellow and stay that way. It's not a big concern until they've reached maturity, if they're white legged at maturity, except for hens which are...

A few junk shots of a Malay X Kraienköppe. Not sure why they came out so grainy- guess the cell cam may have had some dirt or something on the lens I was unaware of. Not a bad little bird though for a f1 cross. He's almost 8 months old and a little shy of 5lbs right now (as are all of...

Built a "photo booth" and decided to give it a try. Two Kraienköppe hens, mother and daughter. Hen direct from Ideal: legs are not white as they appear in the photo- they are just pale yellow which is acceptable though something that will be culled for in the future. Earlobes also are not...

Sorry to hear you're having such trouble with hawks. Snakes gave me my biggest issue last year- but I've cured that I think with some brooder modifications. Have you tried contacting the wildlife officials for your state about issuing a permit or them trapping the hawks and relocating them? Do...

Same cock as I posted beforehand (page 16), just at a different time and he's on tie.

Another Kraienkopp cock. Just thought I'd post as well: If anyone turns up with any other colors than red (Silver, Golden, white, etc..), and the birds are of useable type- I'd be interested in trying to get some at some point or possibly trading some of my stock out for them. I didn't want...

Nice looking birds, about how much do yours weigh (since they are imports I imagine)? How much do you intend to charge for them for future reference? I think I sent an email one time inquiring about them but I'm not sure if it sent or maybe your reply got lost in my spam folder.
