    Mille Fleur Leghorn Thread PIC HEAVY

    I've had them since 2009, it seems to me that you need to keep some with less white to breed. When i've bred well-marked to well marked you end up with too much white. It is a challenge to get birds with pure black primaries and tail feathers. It also depends on what you want them to look...

    Bob Blosl's Heritage Large Fowl Thread

    Back to processing... for the last few years, I've averaged at least 100 large fowl barred rocks. I've given up on plucking, I can't justify the extra time. I second the opinions that you should age the birds in the fridge (day or two) and hold them for a week before killing in a smaller pen...

    Bob Blosl's Heritage Large Fowl Thread

    I don't keep good tabs on dressed weights and such. I do eat lots of culls, but am of the opinion that I don't want to know how much they cost. I just weighed two cockerels that were gutted and skinned at 3 lbs at about 3 months. The 3 males that i bred from were over 9 lbs as year old...

    Bob Blosl's Heritage Large Fowl Thread

    I got some birds from Jaime in 2010. I don't have any of the originals, but have some 2011 hatch and this years. They aren't as nice as the males he had pictures of on one of the other boards, but I like them. Similar to Bob's comment on having too many birds, the feather condition on them...

    Kraienkoeppe Thread!

    Living in Florida, I have a hard time using the word "winter". I just say its not as hot in Nov to Dec, and comfortable Jan-Feb. I honestly don't keep good enough track to say yes or no, but they seem to lay on the same schedule as my barred rocks and leghorns. Most seem to slow down or stop...

    Kraienkoeppe Thread!

    Some mixed pics of my birds. My first silver cockerel without the mottling on the breast. The next is three young ones seeing who can eat the nastiest stuff around. I'm looking forward to seeing what the golden cockerel turns out like, I have 3 or 4 pullets with the same pattern. What...

    Kraienkoeppe Thread!

    That should be an interesting cross. I do like the longer tails, just have some problem keeping them intact myself. When I leave the breeders in the pens the tails are nice, but I don't like watching birds in the pens. So I let them run together and the low man looses quite a few tail...
