Good Morning! If there is anyone within driving distance to Gloucester, Va. who is interested in purchasing tolbunts, I will have some at the sale/swap this Saturday 9/8 from 8am - 2pm. It is being held in the parking lot of Tractor Supply. These will be back-yard-flock quality only and not...

Yes, definately you are correct. In general, the large white areas in a Tolbunt chick's color pattern, i.e. breast, throat, legs, etc., feather-out inline with the chick's body color as it matures. The current proposed standard, written in 2005, suggests as a defect, "Any appearance of three...

:D. Yay!

Thanks, Suzanne. (BTW, just sent u an email answering your question about the buff laced eggs.). :)

I get virtually 50% frizzles from each hatch, and that is how I am selling this group, but no guarantees. When chicks are 5-7 days old, you can distinguish the frizzles from the smooths. By mailing time, I should be able to tell.

So sorry for the confusion about the price! I have reworded the listing so it is clearer ... I hope. :) It is $50 per chick. Thanks for pointing this out to me! :)

I have gotten to the point where I am overrun with tolbunt chicks! So, I am offering week-old, straight-run chicks in groups of six, (up to 24 chicks) for $50 each chick. The minimum of 6 chicks is so that they will ship safer to the buyer's location. If you can pick them up, they can be...

Congrats Tricia! U were the highest bidder before the closing time of 9pm EST. I will PM u. Thanks to EVERYONE who bid and to those who were interested. :)

My LARGE FOWL, TOLBUNT POLISH are laying more than I can ever hope to hatch! So, to the top bidder, I will mail exactly one dozen eggs from my tolbunt pens. These eggs are the result of my efforts to improve and strengthen tolbunts within the Polish breed, not just for the beautiful color and...

I'm so sorry! I did forget ... Shipping is $15. Thanks for pointing that out. :)

My buff-laced Polish bantams are laying strong! So, to the top bidder, I will mail 8+ eggs from my breeder/show pen. These eggs are from top-quality birds that have been shown and placed, or are of show-potential. Theoretically, they should produce a frizzle/smooth ratio of 50/50. This is...

I breed tolbunts and expect I will have some available next spring - God willing, of course! Feel free to contact me when you are ready. For anyone reading this post and currently interested in PET QUALITY tolbunts, I have some available for sale to homes that want them as beautiful...
