Any of you know where to get some fair priced blue sumatra hatching eggs? I don't have any interest in show quality. I just love the breed. I lost my black sumatra rooster to a fox last Spring. Right now I just have a few of his mixed offspring with include barred rock, leghorn and columbian...
Do any of you live in, or know any one who has Sumatra in Ohio? I have a black Sumatra rooster but none of my hens are sumatra. Would prefer blue, but black would be fine. Only want one or two and don't need to be show at all. I'd be happy with a couple cull hens
Hi folks. I haven't posted for a while but the blue sumatra roo and hen I had were killed by a dog. A couple days before this I was able to gather a few eggs from my white rock hen x blue sumatra. My sumatra hen had quit laying so hers were not available.
Anyways, of the white rock x...
Thank you for the reply. They all just turned 1 in June. The blue was laying when I got here and I noticed the white laying around the same time. I found a couple of her nests accidentally on the side of the house right after I got the blues. She was laying every single day. The laid every...
I have one blue sumatra rooster, one blue sumatra hen and one white rock hen. I have had the white hen since last summer, but just got the sumatras early this Spring. They all free ranged on the property, eating laying mash, bugs, flowers, whatever they could find and since I didn't have a...
So reading up on Sumatra's most sites mention them being poor layers, average 1/week. Is it odd that my blue sumatra hen lays practically every day? She will skip a day maybe once a week
I have a blue sumatra rooster, blue sumatra hen and a white rock hen. I know every one has different ideas as to what is enough birds but the 4x8 coop and run I posted a while back folks were saying 6 or so birds would be fine. Looking around on some of the coops on here this is much larger...
Bought this tonight from a guy who used it to house a handful of hens. It's made from pallets and is pretty sturdy, but clearly needs modifications to be a good coop. It's only got one door on it, and he has chicken wire on the floor which I am not sure I want to keep or not? While it would be...
Any of you know where I can find a blue sumatra hen here in Ohio? I don't want to purchase chicks and only want one possibly two. Also, what other shows happen in Ohio other than the Lucasville show? Anything ever around Columbus?
edit- large fowl sumatra
If ever comes a time you guys for whatever reason need to cull a blue sumatra hen, I'm in Ohio and would love to find another one. So far I have only found chicks which isn't what I want at this time.
She lays a brown egg. Find a stash on the side of the house where she made a nest in a pile of leaves. 6 eggs over there but since I have no idea when they werelaid I tossed them. Here is here egg beside an egg my blue sumatra laid today.
Call me crazy but how is this not just a blue? Sure it's a little lighter but... I also don't see any of these duns and platinums any where but on here?
