Quote: Oh yes, that article I am aware of, and aware that Craig was looking at the recreation. I was not aware of the year that happened, therefore didn't put the two together. It actually makes sense though as Craig is a breeder of Dorkings, so I am thinking that is where those birds probably...

Quote: I would be interested in seeing or knowing where you read that. In all my research of the breed, I have not seen that.

Quote: I know Craig and have spoke with him several times. He was helping me out with my project, however as far as I know he did not, and does not, have Lamona's. I could be wrong, but in all the times we spoke, he never mentioned or hinted that he had them. I have also been keeping in very...

Quote: Jim - did you hear anything on this? I got a very similar response when I inquired, however it came back as no information on file. I would be very interested in these as well.

Quote: When I started my project I tried to get the information from Beltsville Lab. It was like hunting for a needle in a haystack and the final response I got was that it was not housed with them. If anyone finds the information I would very much like to hear about it or have a copy (just in...

You know.... I think Sandhill Preservation Center has Single Comb White Dorkings. Might be worth checking out so you don't have to mess with the rose comb. Just a thought, and something I just thought of. http://www.sandhillpreservation.com/catalog/chickens.html#dorkings

One thing to note. The Peach Laced is the only way I could think to describe them. If there is a more correct color name, please let me know. I have been told that they were Gold Necks, however I don't know so much about that. However I am not familiar with what the gold neck looks like. (I may...

Quote: Thanks Dan, I am glad I found the group and I am happy to share my knowledge. My original breeding was a trio of White Leghorn bantams, a White Rock bantam rooster, and a quad of Silver Dorking bantams. I mated Dorking hens to the Rock and Leghorn males. I mated the Dorking rooster to...

Here are some of my whites. The one stamped with feather site IS my bird, and I HAVE permission to use the photo from Barry with feathersite. The middle picture is a young trio. My males were always long in the legs until they were about a year old, that is about the time they seemed to "settle...

Peach Laced Lamona's, this color pattern never wanted to breed true, but every one that I produced was just as good as the previous. Just that if I hatched 20 chicks, I would only get one peach laced. If you look close at the males sickle feathers you can see the nice lacing. I hope when you...

Oh yeah, I estimate that there are less than 20 birds from my line alive yet. In fact, I might not be pushing it to say there are less than 10. However that Wyoming flock is an outlier as they got 8 dozen eggs. They claim none hatched, and due to the situation, I hope that is true! However, I...

Quote: All my birds were lost in the fire, I have nothing left for Lamona's. All I know is that my line is still being bred on the east coast by 1 breeder. There also may be a flock in Wyoming, however they will not speak to me because they did not pay for their eggs or birds. In my haste to...

Quote: Hi Ryan, Just seen this thread on Lamonas> I will be seing Jeremy in the next few weeks at the fair. I know he was having trouble with fertility and has put alot of time into them over the years. Don't know if he has them anymore. I do know that he has shipped them around the U.S...

I do not have any photos, but I have raised them. Depending on what you are looking for I may be able to help. I will say if you are looking for show quality, they are not anywhere near that quality. If you are looking for color, they do for the most part meet the colors they represent, with a...

Depending on what you are getting, Ideal can have some very good birds. I have ordered from them in the past, and was amazed at the show quality birds that I received. Other times they are a major let down when it comes to show quality. With that said, as with any hatchery, they are about making...

Take a look at the tail or neck feathers when they are in your lap. If they are pointed, they are males. If they are rounded, girls. J.

Both males, pointed feathers. J.

Rooster. Don't look at color, look at the feathers. Males will have pointed feathers, the girls will not. J.

First, to save you time, I will not ship these and I am part of the WI Tested Flock program. I have Black Sumatra bantams, Columbian Wyandotte bantams and Silver Pencilled Plymouth Rock bantams for sale. I also have a large fowl Phoenix cockerel for sale. All are between 4 and 7 months old...

I have an aquaintance that is looking for a pet chicken for her brother who is a 4H member that wants to show chickens. She is going to give it to him for his birthday. They are looking for something "special" for him. I would like to find him a nice bird that he has a realativly good chance of...
