    Hanging Older Heritage meat birds

    Came across this article and was curious if anyone has tried hanging their older heritage meat breeds. Early in the article it points out that we DONT hang chickens because they’re usually very young and tender. With the slower growing breeds though that would not be the case and I suspect they...

    Barbezieux SOP?

    I just got two cockerels and a hen. If Im going to breed them, they should be bred to standard as much as possible. I do plan on making crosses as well, but I’d like to keep a pure line also.

    Barbezieux SOP?

    Apparently there is a North American Barbezieux Chicken Breeders and Fanciers group on FB, they should have a standard once my join request is approved :)

    Barbezieux SOP?

    That’s a great idea! I found a French club...I’ll have to see ifI can translate some of it, lol.

    Barbezieux SOP?

    Some may have a full white face, but I don’t believe they are supposed to. Of course, without a standard it’s tough to say for certain 😜

    Barbezieux SOP?

    The Minorca is also an egg layer rather than a meat breed, so probably not very helpful in the long run.

    Barbezieux SOP?

    No, but there must be a standard somewhere, I would think.

    Barbezieux SOP?

    Thank you :) Although, reading up on the Spanish, I’m not sure they are actually all that similar. Barbezieux are a meat breed and the Spanish an egg layer. Also, the Barbezieux only has a white earlobe, not an entirely white face.

    Barbezieux SOP?

    Does anyone know what the SOP is or where to find it for Barbezieux? All I can find googling is the same blurb from Greenfire Farms regurgitated all over 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Barbezieux-Silver or gold?

    On the Barbezieux thread there were several mentions of people crossing them with other birds for various reasons. Some folks only had one gender at the time. I’m planning on keeping one family pure and another I’d like to change the color to Blue Copper and adapt them better to the mountains of...

    Barbezieux-Silver or gold?

    I’m planning to make some Barbezieux crosses and was hoping someone here would know if they are silver or gold based. Pics or descriptions of Barbezieux crosses other folks have done would be helpful, especially 2nd generation (so they aren’t just black), if no one knows the answer. Thank you in...
