We have been breeding our hatchery RIR for 4 years, choosing the hens with the best laying abilities, and solid bodies with the best type. Even though these are not heritage birds, for ex- hatchery birds, these are a good looking bunch of birds that lay extremely well, and have AMAZING, friendly...
We breed our lines toward being SOP correct, and toward large- X-large, dark eggs. Our birds are large sized with feathered shanks. Egg production has been great, and type and color of males and females, especially nice. Many people who have purchased our birds have placed well at shows with...
We have some really nice birds and eggs this year for sale. Bev Davis X Wade Jeanne lines. We breed toward the SOP, and toward large, dark eggs. The birds are docile (usually very friendly) smart & non-aggressive- they get along very well in mixed flocks with bantams and other LF breeds...
Could someone please let me know where I could find the SOP for Ole English Game Bantam Brown red? Or is it considered Black Breasted Brown?
Also, if anyone has a photo of a good quality male and female, that would be greatly appreciated. I have a few pullets, and some cockerels, but, I'm not...
Nice Black Copper Marans Breeding Six for sale. Sorry, these females will not be split up.
Lines originate from Bev Davis X Wade Jeanne. One year old proven breeder Cockerel is not related to the pullets, or the hen. He comes from a very dark, #7 egg. He is a very big, solid, WIDE male with...

Pacific Poultry Breeder's Association is hosting the National Meet of the...
We have some nice Black Copper Marans juvenile breeder's culls available. It is our line of Bev Davis and Wade Jeane crossed for color and darker eggs.
We are breeding toward SOP, and dark egg color as well. The juvies are nice- type has been extremely good. We've had nicely balanced coloring...
This one BCM pullet is laying these eggs with strange bumpiness clustered in groups. They are hard round lumps, like calcium, but grouped together. If I chip this off, the shell behind it crumbles.
It's very strange. Anyone have any ideas?
Hi, Happy 2015!
This is Beau. He's a lovely, nearly 6 month old French Black Copper Marans from the Smallbrook line, who came from a dark egg... (his mother lays Marans level 5, and his father came from a darker egg.). He comes from the Smallbrook line. He's handsome, and a very human friendly...
Yesterday we noticed one of our P RIR free-range roosters, Brownie, standing around, and bending his neck strangely. (Ignore bald spots- he's molting.)
We don't believe his neck is broken, but, it is very bent at an odd angle, and he does not want to straighten it, although he can move his head...
Hi everybody,
How can we figure out which freerange hen is laying some defective eggs in the henhouse nestboxes?
We have 68 freerange hens who go in and out of the henhouse all day long. We have seen a few eggs without shells, but are more concerned about eggs that seem to have yolk...
We have three gorgeous 3 MO French Black Copper Marans cockerels available for a new forever home from Napa, California. Ideally, someone who desires a sweet cockerel for home flock of dark egg layers, or, for olive eggers, these lovely guys would not be recommended for breeding BCM...
BCM/ Wheaten chicks from Marans level solid 6-7 dark red terracotta eggs.
9 chicks, all to one home. One blonde, the rest with BCM coloring and feathered shanks. Ancestors from good lines. Many years bred toward standard. Value as dark egg layers- nice dark eggs are difficult to locate in Calif.
We have a one-year-old proven PR RIR rooster (Chief Bigtail) that has been breeding well this season. He's given approximately 40 vigorous chicks through several clutches over the last 4 months. By last month, the amount of chicks tapered down considerably (he's with 4 hens).
One older...
Having a strange fertility issue with our flock... We have 20 young, healthy chicks from 2 BCM hens and a BCM roo from the last few weeks hatches.
This week, two of the hens suddenly had 10 infertile eggs each!
Nothing that we know of has changed in the last month. All the chicks seem vigorous...
Have some questions and hope someone can help...
First, we just completed a consecutive BCM hatch in the Sportsman 1202E.
Last hatch (two weeks ago):
Hen 1, successfully hatched out 7 chicks from 10 older eggs.
Hen 2, hatched 7 out of 10 old eggs.
Hen 3, ZERO hatched and all of her 20 eggs...
