Germaine, after she helps YOU, she can come help me, I think I just fell in love!

Walt, I do hope you will chime in here, too - we need lots of advice and help, as you know! 

If there are any Grandma flocks left from the 50's, would Grandma even know we are looking for her birds?  How do you find these old lines?  I agree with Stacy- it would be so wonderful if there was some kind of listing -

Yes, I am with you there Beth.  I have a few Hatchery Barred Rock hens and I have never thought much of them other than they are great layers. I have no desire to get more.

But after looking at Kathy's...and for me it is always those Roo's,  I am having a case of the "gimmies"

Nice Buckeyes Punky!  I have a few heritage birds too, Mottled Java, Buckeyes, Delaware.  This should be a great thread with some nice diversity.

Here are a few pics of my Buckeys. This breed sure grows on you. I don't know why I always thought that Buckeyes were an "indifferent" breed. They are always there right by my feet. I guess they just want to be first in line for the food! I am really enjoying them. I think the first roo is a better type but he is younger and I still need to see his tail grown out.


Chris09 I just saw your post. I think these Buckeyes are from your stock. They are from JamesA.

Tennessee keeps a listing of "Century Farms". The property has to have been in one family for at least 100 years and been used for farming the entire time. I wonder if other states do this, and if they list what kinds of livestock the farms kept. Might be a good link to some old lines. idunno

Maybe we should call in the History Detectives! tongue

In Kansas you can apply to become a Century Farm.  I should do it since our farm has ben in our family for 125+ years.  I never think about doing it tho until after that year's deadline.  roll  Ours doesn't keep track of what livestock is or has been raised on it tho.

If you want house chickens and ducks in diapers then this is the forum for you.
I've got 50+ years of poultry experience, but this 'poultry' forum isn't for me anymore.
If you're going to complain about farmers, don't do it with a full belly or a mouthful.
