Tomaru Longcrowers...

[Wynette]

Hi, folks - I haven't checked in on this thread in awhile - sorry for that! I just want to let anyone who had asked about hatching eggs know that member Farmerboy16 has purchased my breeding trio. Daron is a wonderful young man, and I'm sure he'll continue on with them in the very best & careful manner - thanks, Daron! So, anyone who has asked about hatching eggs, please get with Daron.

Hi, I am the one that brought the trio from Wyentte, and already love the longcrowers! Although I have not heard the roo crow yet. Here are some pictures of them in their new home. Please pardon the mess, coop building is in progress.

They are in a molt right now, so they are not in their best, but still very stunning to me with the plumage color.

Hi, Daron! I'm glad they're getting settled in. The roo crowed on my farm VERY VERY early morning (like 5 or 5:30 a.m.) a few times, and then was quiet the rest of the day. The longest crows were the first ones of they day, but every now & again he'd whip out a pretty long one later!

These guys are slow to mature, and I'm sure they will get more & more beautiful as the time goes by. I'm sure they're VERY happy with their new space - thanks for giving them such a lovely home!

Mmm, that is why I don't hear him all. I will get up tomorrow at 5 am just to hear him crow.

Hope that he has settled enough to crow.

Update on the trio- They got their own pen now, and are happy with that.

I heard him crow for the first time on Saturday morning at 6 am, it was 4 seconds long, and very beautiful to hear.
Here is the picture of him crowing at 7 am-

YEA!!! You heard him crow finally!!!! I'm glad they are happy in their new area! Sorry they look so beat up, Daron. I'm sure once they are settled in & have preened their feathers back into place (tail feathers are a bit sad looking, carting them in a box for more than 10 hours does that - ha!), they'll look much prettier! I miss them. I keep looking at their pen, and just really miss them.

But - I'm glad they have a really good home!

Update! I got my first Tomaru Longcrower egg this morning, but I think that it was laid yesterday, for the egg was stone cold. I cracked the egg in the bowl, and it had a bull's eye!!!

Not a busy thread lol

I wanted to post that I got my eggs from farmerboy and had a great hatch! I also got eggs from another breeder at the same time. I now have 18 chicks total between the two. I'm very excited to start working with this breed. I wish I could find more information on them!!!

I know its going to be awhile.. but I'm already looking forward to my first crow!!!

Congrats! I have over 15 eggs in the bator from 2 hens. Hopefully they will hatch well.
