The bottom picture looks like a "lash" egg :-(

DesertChic - cubalaya cocks are slow maturing. If they are raised together with other breeds they will be OK, for a while. But when they start into their 2nd spring they can get pretty intolerant of other roosters. Both hens and roosters can be aggressive toward big docile DPs. That said, my...

Cubalaya tells it straight. We love ours

I chose cubalayas or their beauty, their athleticism, intelligence and tameness. They are capable of flying way up in a tree, but choose to come sit in your lap or treat time. Some o the cocks can be extremely tame. I have known 3 who were utter cuddle bunnies, enjoying petting and handling...

Still available?

Mini Meat I was waiting to see if anyone else would answer your question since I am not the expert. Your chick looks like the ones I have that turn out a wild type color, sort of partridge. Most have been pullets, but if it starts getting tufts of black or chestnut feathers it could be a male

I hear there will be a swap on Sat in Lexington, Southland Dr. near Oleika Temple. I was considering going. Would anyone be interested in a brown red cubalaya cockerel? He is a good fellow, is still getting along with the older cocks and is sensible around people and birds. He is growing the...

Maybe...the broody in question was not in a pen. Looking at some chicks and thinking I might have made some cubalaya/Serama surprises. The Seramas keep to themselves, and I have never seen them being mounted or mounting the cubalayas. The proof is in the pudding I suppose

Fuji is also very photogenic

Is there such a thing as frosted? I would call him Fuji, for his snowy head, like a snow capped mountain

I traded my best white hen away to Bobby Brown, who has one of Troyer's birds. I eagerly await the results!It was great to meet he and Tina and have someone else in Kentucky with cubalayas. I am most of the way through building a double pen. Right now I will put Blackjack and maybe 4 black...

Garrett, several folks on here sell birds, but the thread has been slow for a few months. Try PM'ing some of the thread folks if any are close to you

Let's see a show of hands - Who is ready for SPRING? Now!? Depending on where we measure we have from 12-18" of snow on the ground, mostly from Monday. I took 5 birds out of a brood pen and put them back with the flock for warmth. Heated water bowl is deployed, fresh straw in thick...

Remember that 1/4 Thai fellow you gave me 2 years ago? That is Chipmunk's sire. His mama is a wheaten cubalaya hen who hatched from a few of Christopher Wallen's eggs.
