    Rare Breed Cockerels (Tulsa, OK)

    We hatched too many cockerels from our rare breeds this last hatching season. I want to find them good homes, as they are all good beautiful birds. They are just over-breeding the hens! LOL If you would like more information, please contact me. These guys would make great additions to any flock...

    Dorking Incubation

    Hey Everyone... so I got a couple dorkings from Sandhill stock last season. I ended up with 1 birchen rose comb male and 1 black single comb female. What are the percentages for comb type and color that I might get? I'm new to this whole genetics thing! Thanks for any advice you could give! :)

    Crevecoeur Juvenile... Gender?

    Hey everyone, So here's one of my little baby crevecoeurs. I'm trying to sex them but I'm having a hard time. I can't believe that I would have hatched out 8 females as they all look like this one, but who knows? Do crevecoeurs/crested breeds take longer to sex than other ones? Usually I...

    Incubation Problem.. Help!

    Hey everyone, So I've been incubating several batches of eggs over the past few months and I've had a few problems which have led me to post on here. The three breeds I've incubated most are Rhode Island Reds (1 batch of local eggs from neighbor), Sumatras (3 batches shipped from two...

    Found Crevecoeur Dead on Floor

    Hey everyone... the pen is 8'x8'. Been feeding them starter twice daily and recently started giving some scratch as a treat to see how they do with it... they seem to like it. I went in and picked up all the Crev's and examined them. I think they've been getting picked on a bit by the RIR...

    ***Crevecoeur Thread***

    Hello everyone from Lookout Mountain! This little bundle of joy is about 2 months old and I wanted to show my little Crev baby! It's hard to sex them (or I have all females? as they all look like this one for the most part). Do combs develop slower with crev's? It's my first time with this...

    Found Crevecoeur Dead on Floor

    Hey everyone! Today I went out to feed the chickens and found one of my 2 month old crevs dead on the floor. There's about 18 of the same age in the pen and they seem healthy and get fed twice daily. At first I thought a predator had got in but there's no signs of entry and that's the only...

    ***Crevecoeur Thread***

    Hey everyone... so I am wanting to work on the Crevecoeur breed and hope to eventually get it closer to the standard. It is my understanding the the gene pool for crevecoeur is quite shallow. After doing some research on the history of the breed it appears as though it was developed by crossing...

    Red Caps anyone?

    There is also a Redcap Club of America or something like that. I would find their website and check out their breeders if you want good quality purebred stock. Here's also a link to an SPPA article on them: http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGP/Redcap/REDCAPS.html

    Crevecoeurs--anyone have pix?

    I would suggest reading about them in the Illustrated Book of Poultry by Lewis Wright. You can read the entire book online here... http://www.archive.org/details/illustratedbooko00wrig Look under the section (French Fowl). It has some pictures of the birds as of 1880 as well. They are very...

    D'Anvers

    I used to raise Belgian D'Anvers in Black and Quail varieties. They are very fun birds, and you can get them in several colors including, Quail, Black, White, Mottled, Self Blue, Lavender, and I've seen other colors being developed. The males are sprightly and beautiful, and the females are very...
