the sultan thread

I am looking for some Sultan hatching eggs. If anyone has any or knows of any , please let me know. Thanks

Here are my two girls! I decided to trim their crests and legs a bit because they were having issues seeing and getting muddy.

Here is Genevieve, pre-crest trim. I just love how well sultans pose for the camera!





And here is Jasmine with her before and after pics. She is still finishing up her first molt, and it looks like she was getting in a HUGE full crest! Unfortunately she was getting skittish and wasn't able to see with that full hairdo, so I trimmed it. She loves being trimmed, and immediately perked up afterward


And this was her pre-molt just because she's a pretty little thing

So cute! Mine are just starting to look slightly better after some truly ugly weeks, LOL. The coop is full of feathers and I am lucky to get an egg once in a while out of 8 girls. This will be my first full winter with these girls, so I'm wondering if they'll start up laying again once their molt is finished???

Only if you provide supplemental lighting. Otherwise, they will rest until the daylight increases to about 12 hours again

Oh hok , she is so precious. Luv her.

I am so trying to break Victoria the old fashioned way. Pick her up and put her outside constantly!!!!! Lol she is so persistent!!!!!! Little goober.

Let her hatch some. Haha!

OMG! When my EE rooster got a hold of my sultan hen one day and I thought she was crushed!

Updated pics. She is fill out nicely and looking better than the last pics I posted when it wouldn't stop raining. Do y'all still say pullet?









The family photo.... They just posed like this when I was out taking pics.
