Hi Everyone - I am moving and will not be able to keep chickens! What's worst is that I've been working on the Auburn Java (see this month's Backyard Poultry). I would hate to see this line be lost. If you have ay space for breeding, PLEASE consider adding some of these wonderful birds...

Hi BigZio - Nice to see some pics of your birds! It's hard to be sure from the pic angle, but Hugo looks pretty good! He's got a nice tail, and his back angle looks correct. Hard to tell for the other bird. His breast looks pretty full for a cockerel, and I'm sure he'll fill out more as...

I'd love to see pics of your chosen birds!

Let me add my condolences, too. I'm getting attached to some of my new Javas, too. They are such sweet birds!

Hi! I thought I'd post some updated pics on my Java chicks with the Auburn gene. Right now, I have three cockerels and ten pullets growing out. They were selected form a group of chicks based on amount of color. I'll choose breeders from this group based on type when they get a bit older...

Hi! Welcome to the Java thread, and We're glad to have you! You'll have to post pictures of your new fuzz balls. I just got some new Javas in the mail today, actually, from Tamara (chickenlover54). Once I figure out which birds I get to keep and which go to friends I'll post some...

Okay - so here's a question for Java experts: I know that both white and auburn are recessive to black, which is why they were able to hide out in the blacks for so long. But what about auburn and white? What color chicks do you get if you breed auburn and white Javas together? I don't...

I wish I could take more auburns, too - I'm really liking these Javas. But I think DH would flip if I bought more birds... I need to be building more coops as it is! And Tamara - just HOW did you get your hands on so many more auburn chicks??? Maybe if you can't find homes for them...

I forgot to say congrats on your 3 doz blacks! You'll have to post some pictures for us!

I've found that pullets in the other black breeds I've raised also have a blackish or only a bit yellowish comb, too. Sigh. Which means I may have FOUR boys out of eight birds. It does give me two auburn (or auburn carrying) cockerels to choose from, though. I'll just have to hunt down...

Hi! My little Javas are growing up. They now spend their days outside in the "baby chicken playpen." It's a 4x8 pen completely enclosed with chicken wire. It's not night predator proof, but it protects them from hawks and free ranging chickens! At night they are safely stowed in their...

Here are the newbies, checking out their new surroundings! I'm taller than you! You lookin' at me? I'm the King of the Roost!

Although I admittedly lack showing experience, it was my understanding that mottled birds can have some white flight feathers. There's a pic of a bird on feathersite like that: http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGD/Java/BRKJava.html The idea is that some, but not all, feathers should be...
