[Love4Chooks]

Can you be more specific on who you were trying to reach? This is a thread for the full breed. So, many different people post here.

Ha! it went awry again. It was for aurissavannahs. I will PM her.

Does the auto sexing in the Jaer come from the baring gene?

Yes

Would you be interested in doing some egg or chick trades?

I have one Dark & two Light hens & Light roo, they have just started to pick up their laying, I would love to trade eggs or chicks if you are not too far from Colorado? Please PM me, I have been having trouble with this forum freezing up and getting my posts muddled (It could be my setting)

Hi all, I have 3 Jaer hens 1 Dark 2 Light and a light roo. They have just started to lay again after their winter moult. If anyone would like to trade eggs I would love to introduce some fresh genetic to my little flock. I put 4 in my incubator a week ago and they are all fertile! I am thrilled I will post pics when they hatch. please PM me if anyone would like to trade.

I just received my Jaerhon chicks from Ideal Poultry and I am so excited to get started with this breed! I was thrilled to find some chicks this early in the year! After a year of raising a broad range of breeds, I decided to focus on establishing two lines: the Norwegian Jaerhon and the Partridge Silkie. I love working with the smaller breeds of chicken and was very happy to learn that there existed a small breed that was also cold weather hardy and a good layer. The silkies have a wonderful disposition and are a very broody bird, so I figured I could slip some Jaerhon eggs under a silkie hen if I ever didn't feel like putting some in my incubator.

Here are a few photos of my new babies

They are so beautiful! Congratulation. Jaers. are my favourite breed by far. I also have a 3 hens that crossed with an easter egger and I love them too, they lay very pale blue eggs and have the sweetest personalities. Thanks for posting pics.
