I have 14 straight run Appenzeller Spitzhauben chicks I would like to sell, if anyone is interested. 5 were hatched on 3/22/2017, and 9 were hatched on 4/19/2017. They are really beautiful chickens. I love my flock.

Yeah, and he is just 4 months old. He is going to be tall!

Young Splash BLRW roo.

I agree. I sure do like my RIR hens though, they are among my favorites. Its too bad the roosters are not as nice as the hens. I am sure there are exceptions though. I have some very well behaved roos.

Its my prerogative as to which birds I cull. If I have a bird that has really great lacing, body shape, head shape, tail, color, and a single comb, I will keep her for my breeding program. That is just how I do it.

Life is too short to have an ornery rooster!

I had a great hatch. I think I am done hatching for the year.

I have a good time with it.

Yes, the lacing and colors will come in nicely with age.

9 new Spitz babies to add to my flock. Hatched 2 days ago.

The single comb is a recessive gene that hides in many BLRW's. If you bred two birds together that carry a single copy of the single comb gene, 25% of their offspring will have the single comb. I have a beautiful hen that has a single comb. Does that single comb mean that she is not a BLRW...

No judgment intended. I was just curious as to where they went at night.

What a great pic!

Two of my baby Shamo's.

So you free range and don't have a coop for them to shelter in at night?

I was just on another thread talking about the risks of free ranging their birds. One persons comment was that their own dogs were their biggest threat to their birds. I have a dog, I love her, but if she killed my birds she would be a memory.
