With the stock market the stocks don't die like a chicken can. I have seen 25k chickens die in 24 hours. W

When you have only two of something there is a chance that one of the two may die and then you have a big problem. Each year that these breeds are out in the public the cost goes down to buy some. It is very difficult to make money with chickens. Walt

Some came from Urch and Brush as well, but some have been bred here from those three sources. The AOSB classes here are many times over 100 birds, so it is a tough class with good birds being shown. Sometimes a Cubalaya wins the class. It is mostly orientals being shown in that class. I don't...

There are good ones in the West being shown. Walt

They are not rare, but good ones are hard to find.. Walt

Like a rock.... Walt

Quote: I'm not sure. This was my third year attending Monroe but only my second year of showing. He was one of the judges last year too and so was Heather Hayes. She was the larger black lady with short hair and a cane. She's got some wonderful birds! I am waiting to see who the judge is at...

Quote: Congrats. Did you talk to Brian or Paul? Walt

Here is a site that is just starting. Hopefully it will turn into a great resource tool in the near future. They are just starting their data bank. http://www.heritagebreedpoultry.com Walt

Quote: They are very rare and today there are two females less than what I had to start with. Would you beleave I have a eight by eight pen with 2x4 inch wire and a dam hawk got into the pen and killed two of the four females that I had in there. Figure that out. This is the second time this...

Quote: There was one thing different between the two. Russians had a Rose Comb where as the Russian Orloff has a Walnut Comb like the original Chlianskaia breed they were bred from. Now they could be different breeds or simply a different variety. Hard to say. Chris They were a different...

Quote: I would not think of them as rare. There was over 100 of them at the show I have just returned from this weekend. Rare breeds don't have that kind of presence. Walt

Quote: Good looking birds! Every chicken has a fault somewhere. Do they molt their tails? Walt

There are "silky" Call ducks now.

Quote: Very nice! Walt

Quote: You can see in this phot, that his earlobes have some white scruffs in them...and very obviously it is winter so the bird is most probably not in breeding plumage and decoration. What we wonder is: Does the roo form white earlobes in the spring ? A male chicken's earlobes can become...

Quote: Nice chickens and art. The APA is always looking for a good poultry artist. Waltr

Quote: Earlobes can go from white to reddish white when they age, but I have never seen a bird go from red to positive white. I have seen red become pale red during certain times of the year, but I have never seen white pigment appear after it has been red. That has just been my experience...

Quote: Are you sure they turn white and not just become pale? When we say white, we usually mean enamel white like you would find on a white refrigerator. The Crerv should have red lobes all year long. Walt

Quote: just to let you know your bird is not a pure ohiki they have white ear lobes Just because a bird may appear to have a fault does not mean it is not a pure bred. When a bird is rare in this country and there is not a huge gene pool you work with what you got. I agree. Other than the...
