flI am looking to buy Rumpless Collonca as well as Tufted Quetro I will pay above average prices for quality Birds, or chicks from each breed ,I am also looking for hatching eggs from both breeds. any info would be greatly appreciated.
Interest in my chickenswap seems to be growing looks like I might be able to pull off my first chickenswap any suggestions from the seasoned pro's here at BYC would be appreciated.
I have a huge 300-500 egg incubator but do not have a seperate hatcher for the last 3 days and I'm finding it difficult to clean the bator when i overlap multiple hatches also i am concerned that when I raise the humidity for batch one that it is too high for batch 2.
Ok I have been working on a hybrid which is yeilding some interesting results the cross is between true rumpless tufted araucanas x cubalayas the result so far is 2% mortality 60-70 % rumpless bi-laterally tufted chicks, Very vigerous at 1 day, Hatch rate on two hatches has been 90% .
I'd like to try and put something together for the second or third weekend in aug. Ive got plentyof parking and I live right next door to the brick house restaraunt- like a clam shack with ice cream, keep the posts coming we'll see if we get enough interest
I cant tell you which is the best But I have Cubalayas that will tear your arm off if you try to take their eggs or touch their chicks not to mention when you try they also let out a blood curdling squak.
I am having trouble getting my hands on standard size True Rumpless Tufted Araucanas,However I am able to get bantam size Rumpless Tufted Birds. My question is if I cross them with my standard size birds will I get any standards. and which would be the best way to cross standard hen to bantam...
I am having alot of trouble finding standard size true rumpless tufted araucanas , however I can get bantams .so my question is if i breed a standard size rumpless tufted roo with a bantam rumpless hen will i get any standard sized birds.
Does anyone out there Near NH have standard Rumpless tufted Araucanas I am looking for what ever I can get, Either adult hens , Or hatching eggs , Iam having a hard time as the two breeds I am working on are hard to come by True Araucanas (rumpless/Tufted) and Cubalayas
