the correct variety is called "Light Brahma"

We bred several from our Splash Blue Laced Red Wyandotte cock over Barred Plymouth Rock hens. All of the females were solid blue and the males were blue barred. Very cool project for a while, but we sold them as a laying flock and the cockerels went to be butchered. K&S

We have a Dun/"Chocolate Project" Ameraucana bantam rooster for sale. He is genetically DUN, meaning you will hatch both DUN colored male and female chicks from him in the first generation when bred to blacks. He has a very nice dark chocolate color overall, a little lighter on the breast and...

Does anyone on this thread breed Mille Fluer cochin bantams? I am starting a project and am in search of a hen...but I wanted to see if there was something around here before I go elsewhere to look? K&S

Male pigeons and female pigeons share nest duties! Our males usually sat from 9am-4pm and then the females took over. If you look it up, there are references everywhere to nesting behavior.

I wanted to put it out there, that I am once again certified to test poultry in the state of Indiana for the NPIP program as well as for county fairs, shipping birds out of state, and moving birds across state lines. I am located in West Central Indiana near Greencastle, but can travel. There...

Call Lou Horton, Acorn Hollow Bantams, he's up near Chicago, but he will be your best bet, he may not have anything now, but should have some this Summer/Fall. There are quite a few Hoosier breeders with them, you just don't find them hanging out on BYC. K&S

Try Holderread's farm. When I had blacks years ago I bought a Runner assortment from them and ended up with an extremely nice trio of blacks and some blues. They did really well when we showed them, but unfortunately we couldn't keep so many varieties so we sold them and only concentrate now on...

We try to show a gold in each class: Old Male, Old Female, Young Male, Young Female, and then we show at least that many silvers as well, but we will take more than one old female or young female etc...

We have steadily seen the class sizes grow in Indiana over the last few years but we always take a dozen plus Welsh Harlequins to show ourselves so the classes look nice with just ours but we have two other breeders that we have been able to meet and help build their flocks locally and now there...

Try Quacky Acres Waterfowl Farm they are on Facebook but I don't think she is on BYC. She has blues and I am pretty sure blacks as well.

I think you will find they are not monogamous for life...They may not breed this season, but we've seen them switch mates when in flocks. You shouldn't have any issues. I laugh when people say that ducks and geese are strictly monogamous! We've never seen it! Maybe in a few wild duck/goose...

That sounds quite reasonable we paid $25.00 for one pair and paid $50.00 for another, but also paid $50.00 for single bird as well. I would expect to pay anywhere from 25-100.00 for a nice pair of East Indies depending on breeder and show and around 20-50.00 a bird for Calls. Our first Grays...

looks fine to me, our ducks look very "busty" after they eat, it helps me monitor who's low on the totem-pole so I can add feeders or pull out birds from the flock.

Quick reply as I am working...the Welsh Harlequin has a honey or creamy colored base color. Snowy & Appleyards have a white base.

Cool! We are huge fans of our Ikea down comforter and down pillows. LOVE THEM! My one issue with your article is that ducks and geese DO NOT mate for life. Ours are indiscriminate breeders and males will breed with all females. We often switch breeder males out in our flock and have no issues...

I seriously doubt they will be fertile, but you can try to hatch them if you have eggs. We normally try to incubate all of the Call eggs we get because we don't get very many of them in any particular breeding season. Typically you don't have great fertility until the daylight hours are long...

Not a Welsh Harlequin, it has much more of an Appleyard pattern and it has a orange bill like an Appleyard female does, Welsh Harlequins should have a dark bill. Appleyard Female (from Google Images) Welsh Harlequin Female (ours)

We sell our show quality birds for between $15-25.00 per bird. Sometimes $25.00 for the pair. If you are like minded and someone that we know and are serious, we give some extremely nice birds away. Many breeders are of like-minds. We've traded birds between breeders for years. I hear people say...

blue fawns maybe with a runner-pattern gene, unless they are mule-ducks (Muscovy crosses) and then I don't know. Never seen anything like that in Mallard-derived birds, but have seen Muscovy crosses with similar patterns. Typically from Muscovy Runner crosses.
