What a difference between those and your other hatchery birds!! Looking good Jungle, now just start adding the tail grow supplement to the regular feed...... stan
I have some 11 week old chicks from that same breeding that came from Jungle. I'll try to post some pics soon. I am not real familiar with these colors, but I believe they are wheaten BBRs?? There are 2 pullets that are different though, one looks to be a wild type golden and one has Columbian...
When I called Privett, I was told that they had maintained their own line for many years. I believe I was talking to the breeder, possibly the owner. He was easy to talk to, but I was not able to get an idea of where they came from. He said he had been breeding them for years and they were his...
Please add my CONGRATS!! I always wanted a little girl but ended up with 2 boys. And my best to the wife......tough girl apparently.....I know what my wife went through with ours and she wanted to quit and go back home even with the pain meds. ........ stan
Glad to see that Jungle! Are you still liking them now that they are getting close to adult hood? Done your first culling yet?? I'm curious to see how the weights are. How is the hatching going?? ....stan
Thanks Vaughn. I know you can't tell anything but a little color this early, but I just wanted to show off your generosity. The pullet in the top pic with the slate legs is from your eggs, and has a sister that has the same color, just not as 'gold' in the neck feathers, and she has light tan...
My spring hatch at 6 weeks. Got to agree that they are not the cutist chicks, but I am not going to call them 'butt ugly ' either! Thanks to Junglexplorer and Oldhound for their generosity in giving me the eggs. I do very much appreciate your sharing. This is their first time in the dirt! I...
Way to go Vaughn! That looks good to me,and sounds like a good place to go to for knowledge. I like the idea of having a central place to go to that is organized so that you don't have to sift through a bunch of posts to get to the information you are searching for. Thanks for taking the lead on...
I'd be very happy to use that cock bird you have there!. What is his breeding? I like the hackel color better than a lot I have seen. Isn't your Zook pair still pretty young?? Maybe next year when they are over a year old they will produce better for youu..... ..stan
From what little I have been able to glean, I am beginning to agree with Cubakid and Jungle. Eggs might be a better way to go. It looks to me like they are much easier to import, and while you are not sure of the quality you are getting, a bunch of chicks could work out better than a pair or...
Just to understand what we are considering, what is the estimated cost of importing a trio of quality German birds?? And an idea to kick around, would it be easier to offer shares instead of trying to get a set number of people? It might be easier to sell 10 shares than it would be to get 10...
I am that interested in this breed, but you have left a lot of questions unanswered! How is that going to work???? Where are you going to get this pair, and who is going to raise and breed them?? I assume the keeper of the birds will send eggs or chicks to the 'investors'?? How much are you...
JE, These are all BBR except the light colored pullet in the bottom pic? What do you guess she is? To my very untrained eye, they look pretty good right now. Are you still planning to cull mostly for size and breed to your Zook and Cubakid lines, or do you plan to keep some of them pure Welp...
