Thank you! I'm glad to hear someone who raises heritage is still following this thread. I had really figured everyone left because the thread was hijacked. How long have you had your birds? How many do you have? Yes, they are very large docile sweet birds. Good to hear from you!

Very nice. I'm doing the same. I have 3 coops set up to breed more. Hopefully

Are they laying already? Do you weigh them?

I have not weighed them, but I would guess the grown hens are 10 lbs or more and the roosters a couple pounds heavier.

I have made it through about 500 pages.

I am trying to keep them as close to the original standard as possible. So I guess I would say show birds, but they lay well and are huge. From my experience the hens have a tendency to be more broody. They are also more calm and less skittish then the production reds I have. They are by far my favorite.
