    There are not many folks with Javas up this way. You could try Noelle in Lubec. I know she just got into Javas. I would ask where her stock came from though.

    People do arrange for sales and swaps at shows. Its fairly common. I will be at the NECP and while I don't have any Javas for sale I will be looking to see what else is there. I would love to take this one Java pullet to the show but I can't manage it with the two days of the show and the...

    I have a pullet who, while flighty, is pretty nice. Between her and my Russian Orloffs I will be showing two breeds at the spring shows that several local judges have never seen. I don't expect them to 'do well' but it sure will be fun to have the folks looking and asking about them. We have...

    Size and eggs are the things that seem hardest to breed for though. I think I would be tempted to keep the best of the big ones and ignore small flaws because of how tough working type is.

    Any chance you are coming up to the Springfield show when the weather gets cold?

    a large mutt, probably in shades of black, white... mottling is recessive. Black and white tend to be dominant. More fluff too. Orps are not as hard feathered as Javas.

    I think things are better left alone. Its important that folks realize that BYC is cyberspace and that anyone can seem like anything if they want to or if you want them to. Its really important not to just follow someone who has a lot of letters by their byc name or who tells you they know...

    You are right. I admit I don't think there are a lot of folks who know Javas because they are so rare-- including me, but I felt I was clear that there are a few who do, hence my pointing to them and asking questions. Thanks Clover

    Most master breeders aren't in BYC. Don't confuse my question or lack of toading for being negative. I ask because I am curious. Having the mentors you are saying you have is pretty fantastic and sounds as though it will be very beneficial to your goals. Please keep posting and sharing...

    This bird looks more like it has Auburn coming through rather than gold. Shouldn't gold be much lighter, more yellow gold?? Very pretty here in this pic, though, almost gold laced.

    No, her birds are not, but they have had their birds much longer and done much more research than most of the folks posting in here or on the Java FB page in the US. They aren't out their honking their horns but they really are incredibly knowledgeable. That is so strange. Its part of a post...

    Most people aren't willing to do the kind of reading/learning that goes into keeping and breeding much less knowing the history of a breed. I like that 4H starts kids out learning the history of their birds. Thankfully for me I can still ask some folks here that have been keeping birds for 40...

    As a point of honesty, I don't know everyone with Javas... just some I reiterate, Javas of America is your best bet. And.... BYC is a nice community to socialize with.

    A pic of your bird is in the latest newsletter :) Nice. As I said above, it sounds like David above also had birds out of Mr Reynolds.

    I have pm'd you. If you are serious about this breed make contact with Java Breeders of America. You can find the articles bob is mentioning and much much more there. There isn't anyone I know of, anyone, who knows more about Javas than Polaris Farm in TX. Reach out to them but be prepared...
