Partridge Plymouth Rock
Reviewed by heronz

I wasn't sure I'd like them but have found them to be attractive and friendly so far. Hardy robust little birds.

With several comments about finding it hard to obtain good quality Brabanters, has anyone purchased from Sandhill? Where have you found good quality stock? If our town changes it's regs, this is...

I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock.

Indian Runner
Reviewed by marvun22

First, watching a runner duck run is awesome. They can find their own food. They aren't like pekins in water. Mine haven't started laying but I heard their decent.

Rouen
Reviewed by marvun22

Its not as fat and slow as a pekin, but its not frail either. I want a mallard but I don't want a flying bird. The rouen is great for that.

Around here we'd call that a smooth-feathered Silkie. I have a few of them - great birds as the carry the Frizzle gene and will nicely breed them for you with a Frizzle mate. :D

This is a most interesting thread! Very much enjoyed reading all the great information. So my question is what would I expect from this pair? It's my understanding this black sizzle cockerel is a 1st generation. He is 4 months of age as is the pullet. He has four toes and black skin. The pullet I know little about other than her being a blue Cochin bantam. I just brought these two home today from a local breeder who was wondering how his ears turned out the color they are due to this not being a trait from the parents.

Does any one have a good picture of what a kinky Silkie looks like? I'd like to see a good picture of the feathers.

Thanks.

And for good measure...here is a pic of my Sizzle pullet. She is part of the breeders 10th generation of sizzles. My daughter uses her for 4H showmanship.

It is always fun to see what people name their chickens isn't it? So, we thought you might like to see why this chicken received the name she got.
