Hatching Eggs! Super Excited...

Did you ever have any success with these chickens did they hatch?

I have been looking in a few places but can't seem to find anyone who is selling these birds. I would like some good breeding stock to start my own flock. Preferably from a few different lines. Looking for Blue Wheaten/Black Breasted Red/Black/ or Spangled. Would like Standard size not Bantam...

So did anyone get any of these chickens. I heard that the Vietnam government didn't allow export of this breed. I tried to click on Old Orchards website and it won't work. It would be really neat to have some of these birds just for the sheer fact that they're so cool looking lol

Well, after much chaos in the shed scooping them up. The pair do have pink flesh around the eyes I can't really tell with the shade of brown being that I can't really hold them side by side. Looking at them, also I can see they are slightly smaller built then the others as well. I'm not entirely...

I am in the US. When search the internet for breeders all I get are people in the UK. But, I did find a Brecon goose club in Michigan. I'm going to catch them tonight and see if they have pink around there eyes too, also I read that Brecon's have Hazel eyes and American's have brown eyes. I'll...

Okay, I started reading this thread because I recently came upon a Craig's list add from a local breed who was getting rid of his breeding flock of American Buffs. I purchased from him two males and three females he told me the he got the trio one place and the other two from quite a ways away...

Well, I have always had dual purpose birds just for the sheer notion, I just think it makes more sense. Also the birds I have right now are getting old they're just not laying as good anymore. I currently have one separated to see if she is laying so far it's her second day, and I have yet to...

http://scratchcradle.wordpress.com/2012/07/08/gms2-breeding-for-blue-eggs/ I found this little article on egg genetics if anyone felt like reading it since no one seems to know to much about egg color. by Heather Nicholson on scratch cradle.

Cool this seems like a neat little project for me to take up I think they would turn out to be a very pretty and interesting bird. :) Thanks for answering my questions.

Quote: Okay another question would the prodigy breed true after such a cross?

So lets say I used a Barred Holland (white eggs) instead of a barred rock (brown eggs). Then I would get blue eggs instead of green right?

I was wondering, and playing with the idea, would it be possible to get a Blue Barred chicken (like a barred rock/barred holland but instead of black, be blue like the blue laced wyandotte) that laid blue eggs?

Hello, I know I really late on this but I was wondering if you still happen to raise these birds and if you happen to have some available as eggs/chicks? Thanks.

Hello, I was wondering if you had any chicks at the moment or any coming hatches. I would be interested in purchasing some in the near future if you do. Thanks, oh and 'm in PA.

Thanks, I was thinking about getting them both, just have to hope the roosters get along. I have the backyard all fenced in it's roughly 100' by 100' so I believe they could stay away from each other with their hens.

Oh yeah, I'm from NW Pennsylvania.

Hello, I have been researching Barred Hollands now off and on for a few weeks. Trying to decide if they should be my new chickens or not. I have snooped around on this thread a bit and it seems most of you guys start with stock from Ideal Hatchery. I have found 2 other places to get them (Sand...

Hello, I stumbled upon your site while I was researching exactly what breed I was going to get after I restart my current flock. I'm currently torn between Barred Hollands or Blue Laced Red Wyandottes. The Roo I have currently is the later (Splash) and I absolutely love his temperament but I...
