    Spitzhaubens

    I would say so, but if you live close to an airmail hub, you might be okay (I'm a two hour car drive from the closest one, more like four in a transport truck). I'd call or email them to see what they think, and how late their season will go this year. I know some hatcheries will pull breeds...

    Spitzhaubens

    Yes, I like their crests a lot. My birds have grown out to look just like the photos on Greenfire's site and auctions. My golds are a little more compact than the chamois, but the gold offspring are looking to be slightly larger than their parents. I had one cockerel that I couldn't tell...

    Spitzhaubens

    I do, they are. I have gold and chamois that were purchased as chicks (the one silver one in the box didn't make it) and I have a few sets of eggs that I've hatched. I'd have to look at my records, but I think one of the most recent hatches had a silver or two in it. (Meaning I can't speak to...

    You mean while you're in prison for smuggling? I'm down with the Conure, I had an Amazon for 30+ years that screamed at 120+ decibels for most of the day. I would buy the most expensive wallpaper and furniture for her to destroy if I could have her back. I looked into importing a while back...

    Spitzhaubens

    You can see a little nub when they're born, but I've never really paid attention I guess. Everyone has a tiny one as their heads start to feather, then one day they're just all feathered and the crest is there. They all look the same for a while until the boy feathers start to come in and...

    Spitzhaubens

    Thank you, they were excellent and hardy birds, but quite a bit off standard. I also had their sister, and you could definitely tell by looking at her that they'd been crossed with Polish at some point. They were also much larger than they should have been. My gold and chamois came from...

    Here are some of the pics I have on my computer. Unfortunately, all the silver rooters were killed and most of the chicks are gone too. I have pics of the most recent gold female batch in my phone somewhere.

    Spitzhaubens

    I have silver blue spangled and gold blue spangled. Most of my flock was wiped out before Christmas by a bobcat so I'm having to rebuild. I just put some silver blue spangled in the incubator yesterday (the father is untested fertility). (Like normal BBS rules, they'll likely be a mix of...

    Spitzhaubens

    I *just* read something about that and I don't remember where! Ah, found it: https://heritagepoultry.org/blog/appenzeller-spitzhauben-chicken I totally meant to look in my British and bantam standards to see if there was a story in there.
