Broth, the best resource out there is the standard of perfection. I think poultry shows are one of the last places you would get disease. Breeders only show their best. Anything is possible though.

Historically these birds are very close to jungle fowl. They can and do love to fly. Males can be extremely aggressive towards other Sumatra Males (they were bread for cock fighting and have multiple spurs). From personal experience - I keep mine confined in moveable chicken tractors as...

Rochester Poultry Association (Rochester NY) show was yesterday. GC AOSB - Black Sumatra Hen owned by Mark Bierbower (Kane, PA) RGC AOSB - Black Sumatra Cock owned by Amelia Sprague (Falconer, NY) -- MY DD!!! I've posted his pics somewhere in the back. There were approximately 50 different...

I would love to. But that's the other side of ny from me. It would be about a 10 hour trip 1 way

Thanks. You guys are all so helpful! On a dig note. We went to the county fair today and saw 3 Sumatras. Both the girls had vertical tails. The roo set my 9 year old Sumatra lover off. See pic below She couldn't get past the huge red comb to look at the rest of the bird

Does anyone have some pics of Sumatras at about 4 weeks old? I need to separate the 6 I have from the 20 orpingtons. I don't want to pull a black orp by mistake

My kids are too

The show in Mumford is the first Sunday. They have a youth show on sat and the open show on Sunday The twin tier show is sept 6/7 I'm waiting on info for both

You have to know poultry and be amazing with kids. Most 4hers show hatchery chickens at least to start and the best judges remember that. Last year there were only 6 non hatchery birds at our county fair - out of 60 entries. Hopefully zach can encourage some future breeders! You also have to be...

You could always make the trip to bath, ny in September for twin tiers or Mumford ny in October for Rochester :). You could even sell some birds there bc I'm going to be Sumatra shopping!

Congrats Raph

I know how you feel. I have not successfully hatched a Sumatra egg yet this year :(. I've pulled vent fluff. They are pest free. They are outside on grass in a tractor. I honestly do not know what to do. I have 1 roo and 2 girls. All are 2 years old. There is only 1 Sumatra breeder I...

Champ, Tumeric is a spice For what it is worth.... here is the wiki article on it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turmeric

Turmeric powder can be bought in the store where you buy herbs and such like cinnamon.

This is good news ! Please keep us updated.

Praying you find as many as possible in good health and that you all come through this with little difficulty.

Not sure how great this pic is. I'm curious as to what you all think of my DD Sumatra Roo. I think he's close to type, but I'm still learning

The 7 year old has spoken. He thinks Splash are Neato!

I haven't even seen photos of White Sumatras. Other than the Bantam's that one hatchery has. I figure it never hurts to experiment though. I'm a 4-H leader and firmly believe in "Learning by Doing"

Does anyone have some good photos of black Sumatra chicks? I need to figure out which 9 of 30 are the sumatras and which are the blue/black orpingtons.
