Meyers hatchery sells them but I do not know the quality of them.
One lady I got my isbars from sells them. She may be the one you bought them from. Her name is Kim Smith Laockwood, she is in VA. She will most likely be at the swap again this september.
I got orloffs from meyers poultry but meyers hatchery does not show them on their website.
This meyers hatchery? http://www.meyerhatchery.com/index.a5w
Or this meyers poultry? http://www.myerspoultry.com/index.html
or someone else?
I got mine from meyers poultry. They do not list them but if...
last swap the owner set up a testing day. you could bring 10% of your flock or if you have less than 10 birds just bring one. I drove up to sharpsburg and she tested them on the spot and then at the swap she gave you the paperwork. I don't know if she will do it again this swap. You can also do...
I sold two bird there last swap. I got them tested but i didn't have to pay because I only had two. The swap opened at 8am and my girls sold at 8:08am. The roosters may take a bit longer to get rid of but they are rare, cute and excellent quality so who knows. I also may bring a silkie roo and...
I have 25 russian orloff chicks and it looks like 5-10 are roosters. I was going to take them to the sharpsburg swap in september and whatever I do not sell, I was going to put in the freezer.
I have never freezered a bird before and the orloffs are so pretty..... but i think I can do it.
So sorry for your losses. :(
I had a fox come in the middle of the day and take out 14 juveniles, six laying hens and my duck. I set my coyote trap and a few weeks later I caught her son. My grandpa came over and took care of him and I haven't seen a fox since.
Mine free range during the day...
This image really sucks but it gives you a general idea. They are a bit more yellow than the pic shows and some have more pink-e yellow feet. None have white Sussex legs and none have duck feet.
I bought some orloff chicks and I was wondering if chick color means anything. Chances are these chicks will turn into poor-good quality but I am not 100% sure. I bought them from a lady who I was referred to, and she had a supplier. In other words I have no idea were they came from :/ I am not...
What color is this little girl?
This is her when she was a chick. People said she looked like a regular partridge, but I thought she was a blue partridge.
This is her now. She is blue with red leaks but she kinda looks cuckoo. she is a mess.
I have the same problems. My isbars are very small and slow growing compared to other breeds. One of mine is lethargic and not growing. I think they are normally small and calm but this is just my experience
I have a 3 year old mali. She was imported along with her sister from the Netherlands for police work but, they ended up only needed her sister so she was put on the discount rack. She has been the best dog ever. She is insanely smart, I have been told she has the IQ of a 2 - 3 year old child...
I was wondering the same thing. I try to let my flock be as self sustaining as possible but I also would birds that fit into the standard as well.
Great post!
I am a broke college student just doing this for a hobby but i would still like quality birds. :)
I payed around $20-30 for my isbar chicks so some were in there is ok. When I say reasonable I mean that, I get what I pay for. I do not want genetically defective birds with missing beards and...
Well I just found this breed a few hours ago and I think they sound perfect for me. I like the spangled out of the offered colors but on feather site I found crele and splash. The crele and splash would be an amazing addition but i am thinking they are seriously hard to find. Do you know if...
