Quote: Have you seen him on here lately?

Where is everybody? Too bad when Bob left so did the life of this thread. Here probably the best bird I have here, a Barred Rock pullet. Mitch

Quote: I prefer the one on the right (from the pic) . . he's a wider bird. Both look nice.

Quote: They are all considered to be "heritage" breeds. . . The "breed," may be considered heritage, but I don't think every "variety" is considered heritage. I agree with Illia. Another example would be Lavenders of any breed. So, from what you're saying, they are a "heritage" breed, but...

Quote: Technically, no. The new colors of Brahmas were created with heritage Brahmas, yes, but not only is it a brand spankin' new color that is yet to be recognized (and proper in most birds) but most of what is behind them are other breeds, such as Cornish, Wyandotte, etc. So at least in my...

Quote: Lookin' good, Sheryl! That male Rock looks to have a nice head.

Quote: Brahma's are a heavy meat producing breed. Quote: This should be a good age, depending on where you got them from. Standard-bred Brahmas should make a good weight by that time, while hatchery birds are a different matter. Many hatchery Brahmas are smaller than they should be, so I...

Quote: Thanks, Doc. I really don't like those old posts... I've learned a lot since then. I would hate to read something I wrote at your age now. ahahaha I will say that admitting to a mistake takes a lot of courage for anyone at any age. Your post shows a lot of maturity. Walt Thanks...

Quote: I completely and respectfully disagree. I am not a hatchery! But I have hatched and shipped almost 500 chicks this year. But that doesn't make me a hatchery, far from it! Breeders work to breed to the Standard, cull heavily those birds that do not match the Standard, and often, (but...

Quote: Thanks, Doc. I really don't like those old posts... I've learned a lot since then.

Quote: Are you still doing LF or did you indeed switch to buckeye bantams? Ginny, I was going to do Bantam Buckeyes with my LF Barred Rocks, but the Buckeyes won me over. Too nice a breed to let go. My favorite. Mitch

Evening everyone, I've been reading some of my past posts here on this thread and I feel that I must apologise for many of them in the mid-part of the thread; Particularly to Saladin & a few others. Anyway; Nice Dominiques, John. Sorry that you were disappointed with the others. My Buckeye...

Quote: Yep. Can't beat them.

Quote: Congrats, Jim! I hope you get some more! Good luck to you, Jim. You will need it to bring back this very, very rare breed.

Quote: It is hard to find good stock; I'm trying to set up breeding pens;there is ONE breeder in my area. SO, I went to the BOston show hoping to find more breeders.I spend a lot of time on the breed thread, reading posts, getting a feel for who is breeding what; maybe there is a heritage RIR...

Quote: actually, it has been to good to be true. i have been lied to by the Connatser family, come to find out they have been lying to everyone who has been buying birds all these years. i am sorry for lying to you guys, i just told you all what they told me. if they are heritage birds then...

Quote: Yeah, why not? I don't think you should advertise them as heritage, though, since they aren't being bred to the standard. Many people are doing this.... As long as your happy with them. Good luck,

Quote: The pictures he posted (of the young birds) didn't look great, but they are young and could grow a better pattern. Taylor, do you have any pictures of your older birds? They looked like production type birds from what I could see. Good luck,

Quote: I don't know "Connater" but I do know that those birds in the last picture are not his/her's. Those are William Bennett (Pine Grove) birds and William in down in Lakeland G.A. Here is the exact same picture second post.They were posted by Clint but William has posted that picture also...

Quote: Let me see what I can do. Walt & others will answer it better. "These historic standards were written at a time when chicken breeds were being used for commercial production within several production systems. Input from the top breeders of each breed was used to establish the...
