    Plymouth Rock Bantams Discussion Thread

    Giving this thread a bump and looking for anyone going to CA for the show in Modesto in a week or so that might be bringing black or silver penciled Plymouth Rock bantams??? I'm really looking for a pair or trio of the silver penciled but black would be nice too. Going, have birds to sell...

    Plymouth Rock Bantams Discussion Thread

    Yes black is an acceptable variety in the bantams only (not large fowl) through APA and of course the ABA also.

    Blue rocks

    Five years ago when I started back into the world of poultry I was looking for LF blue rocks. None! I stumbled across this thread and read it all the way through tonight. I found it very helpful as I am working on LF Black and Blue Orpingtons, because, no blue rocks! I am also looking for...

    Self Blue (Lavender) Orpington Proposed Standard Comment Thread

    Well it has been a long while since I posted on here but the last post is not that far away. I showed a few black splits last year as after the first summer show my self -blues were indeed too light in weight for a year of age. This year from my two largest split hens from 2013 hatch (they are...

    Mary, so sorry to hear of the loss of your flock. It would be irronic if Mr. Fox could restock you after this loss by Mrs. Fox. I actually got my brother to help me weigh my birds really quick this evening. I think he only did it to get a few birds on the freezer camp list for this week...

    You have all reminded me to weigh my, now hens, today as I'm getting so close to putting them in with the new rooster. And the cockerel too. My girls were hatched last year about April 1. I still have to finish that darn pen to get everyone moved around! Then the even harder choice of put...

    I'll try to post pics tomorrow or this weekend of my new guy so you can see the good and the bad. I also need to wiegh him before he goes in with the girls. He is still under a year of age but has a good weight and shape to him. I think just getting started is going to be the hardest part for...

    Now that I have a replacement rooster that, other than his tail angle and extra large comb, Tony Albritton said he was o.k. I hope to have my breeding pen set up before next weekend. Don't worry it has been over a month and he has been in quarentine. Tony just happened to be at the show and...

    Lakenvelders

    O.k., sat here for an hour and read this thread as it appears to be one of the best (and only) longer threads on Lakenvelders. Now it is almost spring again and no one has posted photos of chicks or chickens in like 5 month. There were some Bantam Lakenvelders at an all youth show this weekend...

    Going to have to check with Tony Albritton again. I sent an order in to pick up SS chicks at the Spring Fling WA Feather Fanciers Show in March and have not heard anything back from him yet. Since I lost the cockerel I was keeping I am working on other breeding projects. But excited to get...

    While my show/breeder stock is only in their first year they are in a very shabby/drafty shed due to not having it ready for winter yet! It has 2/3 of the doors on and no back to the shed yet, hopefully this weekend! We have had snow more than 5 times for multiple days and it has been less...

    Dick, What is the history on your Orpingtons? I've been reading a lot and saw your ad and photos in Poultry Press, also in UOC ads. Have looked at several photos as well. Just looking for more info. Thanks, cowchick11/ Pam

    The Sussex thread!

    As far as I've been able to read and look at climates England is very similar to the Pacific Northwest weather pattern. Remember most of England has a coast line fairly nearby. Milder winters, much rain, fog. Not that all of our winters hear are mild especially at our house as we are in a...

    What's wrong with their feathers?

    That sounds like a Silkie or a silkie cross. Probably not one of these silkied Ameracanas.

    Yes, width and length of back. Some of the pictures of SS you can really see the length of back. I think very similar to RIR but the SS are a little more angled upright (maybe 10-15%???), not as "brick" level as the RIR. That length means the whole body is longer and there are more room for...
