    Any one here have the Collonca or Huastec? I am interested in eggs.

    That is the right number for a Sultan. I don't recall reading that the Pavlovskaya have more than the normal four.

    I am more inclined to say Sultan. The Pavlovskaya have a more upright crest. Still a Sultan is a rare breed too. How many toes does it have?

    Has anyone come across a chicken with pink earlobes? One of my Olive Egger cockrels have developed pink earlobes. Candy heart pink. He is a brown silver duckwing. I will get some pictures tomorrow.

    I am so thrilled. I got my first rare birds this week, a trio of Bantam Silver Penciled Wyandottes! They are just some of the sweetest birds. They are in quarantine for now while I try to figure out what to name them.

    There is a Breda thread too. I have been thinking about getting them too.

    I didn't automatically assume that you were a guy. I am a Veteran too. The Irish Queen of Battle, The Morrighan, was represented by the hoodie crow. Warbird is a very apt description of these birds as they would follow armies when they massed in anticipation of feeding on the dead. Interestingly...

    Waltz's Ark is in CO. When I went to it though it wasn't the site that I remembered reading and it didn't mention the buying of all of the Greenfire imports. So I am not 100% that this is the guy with the original stock. If you are getting Mottled birds, it is being reported by several...

    What is needed to rescue this bird? Safe breeding populations away from the war zone? Any exportation (to anywhere) of birds or hatching eggs will require the services of a veterinarian. Gathering them may require cooperation with the U.S. Army too. I used to be with the 4th Battalion Psyops...

    You must be a lawyer. Still you are quite right that it is a technique that you make yourself believe your own lie. You compartmentalize the truth away in a "box" or "room". You convince yourself also that the person you are lying to doesn't deserve the truth for some reason and you construct a...

    So they might have come to the Southern States with Sugar and Rum trade? When I was little my dad was a preacher at a tiny little country church in TN. I remember seeing some of these and later they disappeared from this area.

    Would that be at the Spanish settlements in Florida and Louisiana? Were they taken to Mexico and Southern California?

    Alaska I thought of one that is heritage and has only vestigial combs and wattles: Chantecler, a Canadian breed.

    If I can get enough pens built I want to add either Sweet Potato Quechua, Huastec, or Colloncas.

    No I made an assumption that they came from the Greenfire or from birds that came from Greenfire since that is the only import that I know of.

    I posted this on the Heritage Breeds thread but I thought I would ask over here too. I have the chance to choose a Breda cockeral from this group. I am actually considering getting a black and a blue. Their leg feathers have taken a beating from the mud but what do you all think of these guys?

    In that case you need Favaucanas! But then you loose your historical part. Get Favorelles and dub them like Old English Game leaving only 1/4 inch of comb. They will look a little different but the genetics will be the same.
