Out of my batch of lavender ameraucanas I ended up with a white chick. I have read that crossing it to lavender or another white will be 100% white chicks (as far as I could understand the chart). Does anyone know what would happen if it were crossed with a black split or black not carrying the...
Comb type is probably the easiest way to tell. Barred Rock has a single comb and dominiques have more of a rose or walnut comb (sorry don't remember which).
Personalities I really don't know because I have only had Barred Rocks. They are good hens. Mine never went broody but she was also...
Goldfinches... were both your groups from Meyers then? Both of my batches were pushing 4 months and still not very big... fed high protein feed and whatnot but still growth was very delayed.

I was wondering if anyone had seen any breeders attempting to "bring back" the red houdan? It was either red or red mottled.... I read awhile back somewhere that a couple of breeders were going to give it a try but hadn't heard anything in the past year or so.

LOL. It is ok. Trial and error and some work out better for some people and not others. Ok will check into them. I just haven't found anyone local that have been happy with their birds. Thanks!
I tried them this past year. First batch was dead upon arrival and the second batch did not impress me at all. It could have been the effects of the drought on the breeding stock... thank you for your input I might have to give them another shot!!
I am needing some outside imput on where to get good quality Cornish X. I raised some last year and feel that they just didn't get big enough quick enough.
Where did y'all get your birds? What did they weigh when dressed and how old when they were processed?
THANK YOU!!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!! I have a bunch of little tanks that I was going to use for quail chicks but there just wasn't enough floor space.... Now there will be!!!!
