Such is life I suppose. I got a glimpse in the yard and was worried. I conformed it later when he roosted. I came back in the house aggravated...my wife just rolled her eyes when I told her why. :)

Thanks Troyer. i just found white in the tail of the third tonight - is that a deal killer?

Here are my three BBR stags at just shy of five months. Alex

Went out and got some weights on my flock. My year old Zook hens came in at 2 lbs 7 oz. and 3 lbs. I have smutty a 4 1/2 month old Urch/Sandhill pullet that is already 2 lbs 3 oz. which tickled me. I weighed the three 4 1/2 month cockerels I have culled down to . The Urch/Zook boys are 3 lbs 3...

Thanks for the responses. Is a smutty wheaten bird "show able?"

No response? Man this feels like high school all over again.:)

Just wanted to drop in and say hello to everyone. I still follow the thread and am happily working with my Cubas. I am growing out my second generation which is a combination of my Urch cock over Zook and Sandhill hens. I have culled down to four cockerels and seven pullets that are showing...

Thanks for the feedback. It was overcast when I took the picture but you're right that his color is not as light as it should be.

Here's a photo of Urch male. I'm not sure how old he is exactly, all Urch could tell me is he is last year's hatch. He has a great temperament. Great with my kids and takes good care of his girls. He will literally bring them food and drop it at their feet and will let them take food from his...

All my birds are bb red. I'll work on some pics. I was impressed with Zook...straight shooter and helpful. USPS sent the pair to KC instead of St. Louis which caused a big delay. They were guaranteed in two days and he took the time to get me my shipping refund which saved me $70. Granted I paid...

I wanted to drop in and say hello. I'm still in the game, I bought a quad from Urch and a pair of pullets from Jim Zook this winter. The Urch hens molted right ater I got them and the Zook hens are just starting to lay but are very nice.

I had an observation and a question. First, we had three straight days with air temps under zero in the morning and my Cubas endured it fine. I don't do supplemental heat and they hung right in there. Not only can they handle the humid Missouri summers but harsh winter conditions as...

Yes you are right on both. How big a deal/common is a cushion comb?

Good point.

I wasn't trying to stir anything, I was more interested in the former part of the quote as I had never heard Mr. Stromberg's name in regards to the early US history of Cubas. I was interested in what this "direct Cuban line" was and what became of it.

During some of my online research I ran across this in an obituary for Mr. Stromberg: "Mr. Urch said. Stromberg’s was the source for Cubalayas from an original Cuban line. “They were a lot better than they are nowadays,” he said." I was wondering if those with a better historical perspective...

Here are some pictures of my SH flock at 4 months old. The darker colored cockerel is very stout at 4 lbs but his color is not as vibrant and it looks like he has white starting in his ear lobes. His tail is shorter and held more upright than the other but is wider. The other is a full pound...

Sent you a pm.

I'm looking for some blue red pullets/hens if anyone has any to spare or knows of anyone who might. I'm in MO about 35 miles from St. Louis.

Thanks for the info..very informative (sorry for the redundancy). :)
