:thumbsupHi, I am from West Australia also. For the last 10 years I have been in Indonesia. I got back into to chickens here because you can;'t buy a decent chook, that is a traditional breed as we know.
I do enjoy reading the comments on BYC.
Good luck for 2009.
I am married 54 years of age with 2 boys, we live in Indonesia. I work in the mining business. I am originally from Australia, my wife is Indonesian.
We have ten chickens, this is a hobby that the whole family really enjoys.
I do hope you all have a wonderful New Year.
Your chickens look great, please tell me what breed the rooster is?
Plus the black hens with red feathers about their neck are they the same breed? I have a hen the same but never knew what breed, but the rooster I was shown was not spangled like yours?
Yes I think you are correct hence I asked the question. My first attempt I got two hens and one male. Excellent looking birds, one female is white and one red / white and the cockrel is all white. He has the build and body shape of a white plymouth rock.
As they are only 5 months old laying has...
I have crossed red sex link with red sex link, got great looking birds.
(The reason why is because I cannot buy good chickens where I live)
Has any body done this before? if so what was your result? eggs, health, body etc.
