Delawares come from the combination of Barred Rocks and New Hampshire Reds from what I understand and there are few good ones from what Ive heard. I am seeing in here were people are talking about Columbian Rocks, Partridge Rocks, etc... to produce them. I don't think that is the way it is to be...
I had 42 eggs in a styrofoam incubator last night. They have been in the bator for 8 days and temps and humidity have been staying steady but last night we had tornadoes here in OKC and the power was off from 730 pm until 1230 afternnon the next day so that is 17 hours off. Will it kill them all?
Actually I am not rural. I am four miles from downtown Oklahoma City. I guess only in OKC can I have horses this close in. Actually our property is grandfathered and the city cant do anything about the horses. I am very urban with my little 3 acre farm in the city. :) Anyway the hens came home...
Today my three large English Orp hens and my large Orp Rooster were turned out into the yard to forage. I live in the city and have a large fenced yard. It is a very good fenced yard and they never fly and never even act like they want out of the large yard. They just browse around all day. I...
The blue rooster has too light colored eyes though. The guy had other roosters that were larger than this one but to me their tails were too high as compared to him so that is why I got him. I should have gotten all of his splash hens. Yes I want some Minorcas. AR told me to contact him in a few...
From what you are saying I think I may be better off to find excellent Light Brown leghorns (probably easier to find than excellent reds right?) and cross with really good Buff Leghorns and keep the best reds I come up with and breed them back to one another. I want to get the all reds. Would...
Thanks for all the info. I saw in the APA site that there were two recognized varieties of Red Leghorns one was Red Leghorn the other was Red Leghorn black tailed. Do they show in the same variety? Or are they separate? Does anyone know how to contact Bud or anyone else that has these? The thing...
Would anyone know of any Red Leghorns in the United States? I know a couple of hatcheries that have some and I want to see if there are any breeders that do before I go to hatcheries. If I have to I will order a set from one hatchery and another set from a different hatchery later on and compare...
Rareroo,
Have you ever had any luck producing the Lemon Pyle Wyandottes? How would we go about creating a BBRed so we could develop red pyles? I am just about to buy a small flock of high quality partridge bantam dottes from one man and then a really good quality set of white dotte bantams...
Oh NO I had my heart set on getting some of the Paul stock. Who has any that are of that quality and type that I could order from? I was about to use a hatchery and my old college roommate who is very active on the show circuit warned me in time. Now I have seen pics of some birds that came from...
Those are some nice Wyandotte Bantams. I am knew to studying type and such but I judged commercial production birds and broilers in college at OSU. I was pretty good at so I am pretty good at reading the standard and learning. I am on here to learn more and to find some good breeder quality...
