ijon, Also, the Saipan roosters as a rule are very aggressive towards humans.

ijon, the photo does not really show the bird well. From what I can see, the legs are not long enough, the comb is wrong, and the neck is too long.

Have been very busy (too busy) of late, but will try to answer a few questions. Post # 131 - What is the temperament of Saipans? Saipan hens can be very calm towards people, but will fight any chickens introduced into their pen, whether it be a rooster or hen. Saipan roosters can be calm...

Per a recent request, I am posting more Saipan photos. The video card on my computer has failed, so I am not sure what the colors are of the birds I am showing here. These are photos from 2012 and 2013. I expect to hatch a limited number in 2014, and have begun selling some of my current stock...

Anyone interested in a pair of adult Mississippi (Saddleback) Cotton Patch Geese? The gander came from Tom Walker, while the goose is one hatched from a pair I picked up from Ronnie Sumrall, in Mississippi a few years back. Ronnie was one of the last original breeders of (Saddleback) Cotton...

At one time I had a wholesale account with Ideal. They are good people to deal with. I once discussed Saipans with Monroe Fuchs. He said that he bought his from breeders at poultry shows. Now if a known breeder of quality fowl is selling Saipans, people are naturally going to accept his word...

Hello, First off, over the past week or so I tried numerous times to upload a couple of Saipan photos I had on my computer, but each time I was unable to do so. This evening I was finally able to upload one photo of some adult Saipans I raised last year. I was not able to upload the photo any...

Hello All, I thought I would introduce myself a bit more. I have a small farm in North Central Florida where I raise Florida Cracker cattle, Florida Cracker sheep, Cotton Patch geese, True Saipan Junglefowl, and Marans chickens. The cattle and sheep date back to the Spanish introduction in...
