Where is a good place to get some Jubilee pullets or hens?

ewe crazy farms, old orchard farms, also, try the rare breed auction website, they usually have jubilee pairs and trios for bid.

Yes, they breed true.

Thank you so much for the reply

Are jubilees genetically just mahogany+mottled+columbian? Why do they have a slightly different pattern than speckled sussex and mille fleur d'uccles?

Do you have any recent photos of this bird? I purchased some Jubilee / Buff Orp chicks about a year ago. Predators got 2 but 2 made it, 1 Rooster and 1 Hen. At around 8 weeks both had some light white spots, but those disappeared after their first molt and now they just look like a darker colored Buff. They are in my layer flock, which I've been hatching eggs from. I've gotten a number of similar chicks, a Buff color with white spots that fade between 8 and 12 weeks. But I have 2 that are colored like the one in the photo above. A little darker base color, and not quite as much white, but they are a little younger than the one in the photo and the white seems to be staying this time, and actually getting more pronounced. I think the Jubilee genes from each parent lined up in both of the chicks I have
Did yours develop more black as it matured? Is this considered a Diamond Jubilee?

I can get pictures today if the weather stays clear. This is Acorn and she is a Jubilee. A Diamond Jubilee lacks the mahogany gene. Yes, they get darker as the age/molt. She was about 8-9 weeks old in that picture.

Here is a picture of all of them together at about 6 months old.

These are my two, they are about 2 months old, hatched in late Dec.

Chick 1




Chick 2




They look a little darker in the photos than in person, probably because I took them yesterday around dusk using my flash.

Any gender guess?
