I haven't posted here for awhile. Just want to make people aware of an experience I had with Greenfire farms last year. I ordered 7 chicks from them that were Standard Brahma partridge (gold only) for $99 a piece because I "had" to have the partridge color. They arrived half dead and one did...

Appreciate all the help and reviews of my buff with blue penciling. She can just be a farm hen and I will concentrate on my partridges. I do have some chicks out of her (over a buff laced rooster) so we'll see if the wing issue continues. Ann

Would like to have some of the more experienced breeders (big medicine?) tell me what they would call this hen color wise. I bought her from a breeder in Texas who called her a "splash". I bought two blue partridge and two gold partridge from her as well. She is wide bodied with a nice head...

Hi everyone. I am in Tyler, Texas and raising partridge (gold and blue) Brahmas and a few "palomino." This is my 1 year old Palomino Rooster and his daughter who is 8 weeks. (Yes, I know none of these are recognized show colors) Would love to connect with Texas breeders.

Selling some Cockerels and pullet Brahmas that are gold partridge from a well known hatchery. The 5 that I am selling all have vulture hocks which is an automatic disqualification for Brahma Chickens. (Vulture Hocks are extra feathers on the leg that protrude out the back.) The roosters are...

Do you think Partridge will ever be accepted as a color for show? Ann

I bought six partridge chicks from a reputable hatchery and 5 grew out visible vulture hocks. Not sure about this one but they were all siblings so I know it carries the gene. I am wanting to start a partridge breeding program here in Texas. Would you breed this bird? It was born March 1st...

I wanted to say that we have also used the 5 gallon bucket system with our Blue Swedish Ducklings. I had read that ducks couldn't use a nipple system but the lead chicken person at Tractor Supply said they used it with their ducklings and it worked just great. It worked for ours as well. They...

p.s To the person who typed CDO. I have a daughter who is OCD and she tells people she is CDO because when you are really obsessive you put the letters in alphabetical order. Perhaps you are that way as well:)

boy, this was timely advice and very well thought out. We have 6 geese we inherited when we bought our farm, a male and female sweedish blue duck and 26 chickens, 1 rooster, and a rabbit and elderly turkey. The chickens and turkey and rabbit live together and free range during the day. The geese...

Hey Texans I live in East Texas and am looking for some Ameracuana hens for my lone rooster. He is 17 weeks old. Not really interested in young chicks. Will drive. If anyone has knowledge of breeders in Texas let me know. Thanks, Ann

I have an Ameracuana rooster hatched October 3rd and raised from one day old. Came from McMurray Hatchery. Is vaccinated. Has green tail feathers. I sent a pic to dick Horstman because I thought he was a Blue Laced Wyandotte but he told me b/c of his ear tufts he was an Ameracauna. I only...

Brian Are you still in the silver wyandotte business? I got an "exotic" male wyandotte with my brown egg layers from McMurray hatchery and wanted to send you a picture to see is he is decent. I will get a couple of girls if someone thinks he is show quality but if not...Anyway, thanks for your help.

I am in Texas and looking for partridge Brahmas. Does anyone know of a breeder here. I am willing to drive in Texas. Thanks, Ann

To those of you who sell your eggs: How much do you sell a dozen for? Do you wash them first (mine are clean) Did you get any testing on them before you sold to friends/neighbors or at farmer's markets? If you refrigerate them pointy side down, how "late" do you sell them? Thanks, Ann Abrameit
