    Montana

    Hey Hey there, I just joined a group called Montana Food, Farm and Homesteading. It just got started, and it's a private group that you have to ask to join, but it seems nice so far! It's not just limited to the Flathead though. I'm not an admin for the page, so I can't offer anything else...

    Faverolles Thread

    Oh wow, gosh, sorry, I just realized I posted on the wrong thread! I meant to post it on my other subscription thread!

    Faverolles Thread

    No he's not a Fav. I got him from a woman who said he was an EE. If he is, he's very unusual with his yellow legs and single comb.

    Faverolles Thread

    Question on leg genetics. So, of course the speckled sussex has white legs and that is dominant. I have my rooster, Leroy, who has yellow/orange legs. I have 4 speckled sussex crosses that are a month old and two of them have yellowish legs. Is that even possible in a first generation breeding?

    Faverolles Thread

    Those photos were very helpful! Dark meat is my favorite, so that's a plus in my book! I'm going to have to snoop around to see what I can find. I really want the most heavy set strain i can find (or at least get some to work with). Unfortunatley, I probably won't be able to get any until next...

    Faverolles Thread

    Is that dressed weight or live weight? I'm assuming dressed? I live in NW MT, and not much to choose from nearby that I could find. I found a person in Oregon that ships, can't remember the name of their website..silk n feathers or something?... Anyway, I contacted them via email yesterday, but...

    Faverolles Thread

    Bumping in here. I used to have a few faverolles (mostly as pets for their cuteness) but have recently had a new interest in them as meat birds given their size. However, the American standard seems considerable smaller than their European counterparts. Could anyone here point me in the right...

    Post your FIRST EGG pics!

    Don't think I'm a weirdo for checking out your other posts, I just wanted to see what kinds if chickens you had! I was hoping someone near by might have some speckled sussex as I'm looking for more. Anyway, the darkest egg will have been from the cuckoo maran. Marans lay "chocolate" eggs. Hope...

    Montana

    Here he is! He's still a little scruffy guy, but I'm betting he'll end up just like his dad! His saddle feathers are coming in lemon yellow, and I think his neck will become more yellow as well. It looks like he will get the reverse lacing that his dad has as well throughout his chest and...

    Bigfork here too!! Per chance anyone want a young EE roo? I usually eat the roos but he's too pretty! I sold some chicks and offered to take back the roos if any popped up, but it would almost be a shame to butcher him!

    The Aloha Chicken Project

    So rememebr how I was wondering how the babies would turn out? Well, I had some babies hatch way back on July 10th, and I ended up selling pretty much all of them, which I imeidatley regretted after seeing this thread. Well, I had told the lady I was glad to return any roosters she might get...

    The Aloha Chicken Project

    C Yes! Leroy is such a good roo! He's a gentleman with the ladies. I have hatched out some speckled Sussex babies this past summer but sold all my hatchlings, but I kept them long enough to feather out and at least one I can think of turned out a little lighter than a regular SS, but definitely...

    The Aloha Chicken Project

    Also, somewhere on here I saw a post on here from RAREROO that got some chicks that looked similar to what I understand is the "look" of an aloha chicken. Says he acheieved it through a SSx roo over a Rhode Island White hen. So I would imagine that would add some size to birds, which from...
