So you got rid of your mottled Javas too. What was your expericence with them? They will probably be the next breed I get. I know they're not the best layers, but they're a really rare breed and I would like to help preserve them. I would also like to have the black variety, but I also...
It was not an easy decision deciding what breeds would stay and which would go when I decided that I had to cut back on breeds some. They were very pretty birds. The rocks, the mottled javas, my RIRs and my buff orps were the ones who lost out. Wish I could have kept them all.
I had some bbs rocks, but I sold them. They were nice birds...I just decided to go with my bbs orps and bbs wyandottes instead. My rocks started laying earlier and had very good fertility.
Here's some pictures of the ones I had when they were still fairly young.
