Kentucky speck awarnes thread

[The Breaker]

A lot of people don't know about this rare true bantam breed so I am making this thread to raise awareness about the breed here's some of the history of the breed it is said that they have been around since the 1800,s but know one can say for shore about 75 years ago a man found the specks in a barn in Kentucky hence the name Kentucky specks the man started to really organize the breed. The specks are slightly larger than OEGB and it is said that they where breed to brood OEGB eggs they for family groups and cocks usually get along with each other there different comb types including rose and straight no one can say for shore where there origins are straight comb cockerelrose comb cockerelrose comb pulletstraight comb pullet


feel free to ask questions and if you have any more info on the specks pleas share other speck owners feel free to post pics

Did you do a search here on BYC for Kentucky Specks? I believe there is already an existing thread on them. Try this link:

Thanks for your efforts.

I think it's a good idea there above to work on locally making them known.

Also, there aren't many of the rosecomb speck photos on the Yahoo site, mind putting up a few there?

I can as soon as I get a new digital camera I might be able to dig up some and put them up there to night
