This thread is awful. Why not let others sell their birds as they wish? "Buyer beware" is a phrase I hear a lot with chickens. There are a lot of suppositions and accusations that are rather salacious and uncomfortable to read. it has been a long winter but maybe the conversation could return to...

How would anyone know that someone did not mix the two, Svarts and Cemani? Is it through egg color? The GFF birds look very similar. Just curious?

I've spoken to a LOT of folks since I decided to stop breeding chickens and sell off all my breeding flocks and the Cemani worry folks for several reasons so think the broad cash cow label seems a bit self righteous. I shall miss my Legbars and was looking forward to the challenge of the Cemani...

I thought you obtained these last year? How is that at all possible? They need at least 1/4 to 1/2 a year to breed? Generally speaking folks say you need to do about 5 gens to really call anything your own. This sounds off. I sold off my Bean and Toni-Marie birds and my breeding Legbars so I...

I am selling off my flock of chickens and have a pair of Toni Marie Cemani that I'd like to rehome if anyone is interested. Please PM me. My birds can be seen on the link below.

Culled my M.Bean boy today. Saw no point in keeping him going and was worried if I sold him someone would use him a Cemani flock... and with worse yet with my name on him. If I'm going to do this I think I need a good rooster to start with. I definitely think the TM pair are both pullets - small...

Mike's pair - the male is just too off the mark for me. I may keep him depending on what the Toni-Marie birds turn out to be but he is definite cull. This is the female. Better phenotypically but not black through out but I will try to breed her My Toni Marie chicks...

I cancelled my second pair of birds from Mike - you may have gotten my rooster. The pullet I have is okay. Dark on the outside but pink tongue. I like her size and shape so far. She is not very friendly and quite a bit standoffish and she may start laying in a month or two. I have the 2 Toni...

The super glued egg hatched. The chick looks very wobbly so we'll see if it makes it, but that would make 3. I did my first ever egg-topsy and only one of the remaining 3 went to full term from what I could see. One probably died within days of the hatch as it seemed mostly formed just not...

Good luck with your hatch. I don't have a fancy incubator and don't really go all out with the temp and humidity stuff and I usually mess the humidity up during lockdown. I was lucky to get the TM eggs as I did so since it looks like two is what I think I'll end up with I am happy with that. The...

Day 21 and I have a little Toni-Marie chick in the bator. May be the only one to hatch but I'll take it! Now to hope it stays healthy and grow out. Will wait until Saturday to open the bator in case anything else wants to hatch.

What could one expect to get from the Toni-Marie line? Will some be black internally as well as externally? I understand some may be white or with white feathers.

If that's one's desire then fine but also no reason to grow out and expend money to feed what from the get-go you know won't be keeping when you can save the time, space and funds for better possibilities that will cost the same when it comes to culling them at the end. Pullets are one thing but...

Quote: I always let my eggs sit for 24 hours then incubate without moving them for the first 2 -3 days. I don't have great luck with shipped eggs but my hatch rates have improved vastly with this method so I keep doing it. I don't use a broody for expensive eggs as I just don't wish to risk...
