    Rooster Flocks!

    Roosters may not get along with hens around but do well in bachelor pens.... Nice to see respect for the hens... :thumbsup

    Olandsk Dwarf Chickens

    The roosters have a high pitch crow but, about 30 to 40% of them crow frequently to the point owners become quit frustrated with hearing them. They are really active and I could see a crow collar driving them crazy but, I would imagine that not too many roosters think they are fun or comfortable.

    Chicken Breed Focus - Hedemora

    They are known to drop over dead in temps of 90+. They have more down than any other breed and suffer in the heat. They do best in zones 2 to 4 and 5 as long as they are artificially cooled in the hot months or mine (zone 5) have dense woods where they go out and dig holes to keep cool and...

    Chicken Breed Focus - Hedemora

    They can die or go downhill after about a week or less of being exposed to 90 degree temperatures. Ugh the thought of that makes me sad. We sometimes see those temperatures here but we have dense woods where they dig and sit in holes to keep cool and we run a small fan in their coop at night...

    I would like to post a picture of my first pair, but it is telling me I do not have permission to create attachments. 3 of the photos on the first page of this thread are mine, I will keep trying.

    Chicken Breed Focus - Hedemora

    I am guessing mine have been 5+ months or close to laying when the flock finally accepts them. The roosters become interested in the newbies and normally will coax them to hang out with the flock then the hens also accept the newbies. I have some that are currently going through this process...

    Chicken Breed Focus - Hedemora

    My personal experience over the last 4+ years with the Hedemoras is that they are the most cold hearty chicken in their size group. I have never seen mine foraging in the snow, they prefer to stay in their runs or walk around in the paths I shovel for them. I still provide them with ceramic...

    I have not had a problem breeding the woolie to woolie but, you probably get all woolies or close to all. Ive never been a breeder of silkies but I believe you normally breed silkie to silkie.

    Hedemora Thread

    Say they are exposed to a week of 90 degree temperatures then they have a very good chance of heat stroke. From my experience as far as being cold hardy they are like any other chicken until they reach full maturity when all of their down and feathers have grown in. Their feathers grow in very...

    Ongoing Brahma Projects Thread

    I really do not know what the parents were since he came directly from Green fire farms. I had assumed he was a Blue silver penciled since they had imported some of their brahmas. After recently hatching a few of his offspring I am not guessing he is an oops. He did produce males that look...

    I do not understand color genetics very well so I cannot give that kind of advice but hopefully someone may jump in that knows how.
