    Friesian Fowl Q&A Discussion Thread

    Mine are great fliers and foragers. They get along well with all the other chickens. They lay very well, but the egg size hasn't gotten any larger that large and mine are 2 years old. It was only medium-large last year. When I first got them GFF said they were on the heritage endangered species...

    It is difficult to find information about them! I have had them for a couple of years and am happy to share what I know. Ask away!

    YES! Please PM me if interested. The lemon and gold have been separated for about a month and the fertility is good. Chicks will be hatching in a couple of weeks also.

    My distrust of GFF started with the Silverudd's Blue (Isbar) and the mess they made with the later imports. There is a Swedish Cultural Hen page where the people that keep the stud books in Sweden ( yes, they register them and the chicks that are produced) post pictures of the breeds they are...

    He is definitely a lemon! I would like to give my guy another week with the girls so any possibility of the gold guy would be gone. After that, a week in the incubator to check fertility and if that is good, I would be thrilled to sell eggs! They are producing like crazy. I have been letting...

    This is my Frisian pullet who has no "smudges" in the lemon. Here are some shots of the rest of the flock.

    I was studying one of my lemon pullets today. In the sun, I can see she has streaks of the gold in her lemon. I think we got what we got from GFF. We are kinda at their mercy, but we can improve on it and not carry the bad practices forward. I was wondering if they started the landrace thing...

    Better than I would have believed! They outdo my leghorns. They lay at 5-7 every week/pullet. My girls are still young, so the egg size is not large yet. According to GFF they lay large eggs.

    GFF, sometimes seems to ad lib the answers. I trust a real breeder in Germany. He has shown me pictures of his birds and they are outstanding. This is my lemon rooster and pullet.

    I understood from what he said, that they should be separated. I have both lemon and gold, but because of some bad information I have one rooster of each color in a big enclosure with 15 girls of both colors. Looks like I need to do some moving around now. I think the prevailing information in...

    I asked my breeder contact in Germany about your great question! Here is the conversation- I have a question-In Germany does this breed free range with all 3 colors running together? If they do, does gold, lemon and silver all naturally occur within the flock? Almost like a blue, black, splash...

    This is my understanding. Recessive to recessive should mainly get recessive. I know in BBS breeding splash to splash is always splash. I am not a genetics expert though and information on this breed is very sparse. I will ask my German contact what they do.

    I put an extra rooster and 3 more pullets in the Frisian coop today. Hopefully everybody will be happy with the arrangement in the morning. This fellow has already proved himself as a Romeo!

    Friesian Fowl Q&A Discussion Thread

    My understanding is that Frisian Gulls are an ancient landrace and in Europe they run together gold, lemon and silver. You absolutely could have individual breeding pens to keep the colors separated or you could let them all be together like they would be in their homeland. Currently I have the...

    I am still re-arranging my roosters to get good fertility. The lemon frisian is not doing a good enough job to sell eggs yet. He is very gentle though. I have 4 gold cockerels. 3 are fine, 1...not so much. He hates my husband. He is ok with me though. At least 1 of the gold ones will be going in...

    That sounds great! I didn't know anyone besides me had both breeds. I had a whoops, which was a frisian cockerel and a SFH hen. It was a cute little yellow chick who was definitely not SFH. It went to Montana to live. A real cutie though! Congratulations on an exciting spring! I have eggs from...
