Norwegian Jaerhon

[Roosterfry]

If American website were talking about Jaers being bantams other than comparing them to being a bit small they were most likely mistaken because I'm not away of the bantam variety being in the U.S. There is a bantam variety in Norway.

NJs are NOT bantams (the original NJs that is, from Norway's west coast). However there was a breeding programme in south-eastern Norway as late as 1990-1993 where bantam Norwegian Jærhøns were developped.

I think we were typing this at the same time, but you said it better!

I had understood that there was a 2nd importation of eggs ?

I know of Mr.Netland's in 96 do you know of another one?

 

[Jake Levi]

No, I dont, somehow I had thought that he made a subsequent one.

Oh ok. I think it was only one time with 12 eggs. If there were other imports I'm not aware of them.

 

[Jake Levi]

I'd say that its past time for another.

It would be nice to import some more. I would like to find some of the light variety eventually. But for now I'm content with my dark jaers.

Does anyone have Sandhill's signature "flame" variety? and if so could you share some pictures with us? I'm curious.

I am curious about them also, I wish that they had pics on their website. I went and looked for them.
