    She's lovely! I'm still waiting to hear from my possible Java egg contact...

    Thank you for that! I've done quite a few searches online looking for Javas in the UK and for breeders, any mention of them really, and found nothing at all. I'll contact the rare breeds club and see what I can find out.

    Java Thread

    Well, my little rooster started performing finally and I've been getting eggs from at least one of the bantams. I'm thinking off incubating 2-3 of those to see what they look like. I haven't been able to locate a Java breeder here and the guy I bought the chickens from hasn't been able to get me...

    Java Thread

    I looked through the emails and you did send me that article. I've read through it briefly. I have a question though: where on earth do I go from here with these guys? I haven't the foggiest idea what they got crossed with and how many generations back etc. I don't know how much of the Java...

    Java Thread

    I think that would be a very interesting project. I can't sell eggs here like I did in SA and chickens are also more readably available here + there are awesome breeds and types to pick and choose from here, so the market for chicks is not as good. I've been wondering what I can do so this could...

    Java Thread

    Well, I got to the bottom of why my little chickens look so different: they are not pure. The guy bought Java 6 eggs from a breeder in Belgium (who's contact details I'm trying to get now). He brought them here, hatched them and crossed them to his other bantams (unknown breeds). The chickens I...

    Java Thread

    Would it be possible for one of you to give me a list of requirements or the standards of the US Java's? Or a good body shot and head of one, so I can see how they compare? I've read things like they have black beaks, white earlobes etc. Sorry, the pics I posted weren't the greatest and they...

    Java Thread

    There is no way I'm paying for DNA testing LOL I'll try and get to the bottom of where they came from and, if at all possible, talk to the original breeder who's eggs came to Ireland. I asked the guy very nicely to get me more information. It's just frustrating for me that I cannot find more...

    Java Thread

    Do you think these guys I've got are Javas? I'm still not 100% sure. They do tick some of the boxes, but I need to see more pics to compare. But then if the European ones are a bit different from the US ones? The black and white one's gorgeous, but that comb confuses me a bit. I've looked at...

    I just had another good look at the black and white pullet. Her comb is still developing, but it looks like she's going to have a rose comb. I read Javas have single combs.

    Java Thread

    I tried to get more info from him and he said it was a friend if his Dad's that brought the eggs from belgium, but he's not sure. I asked him to find out and if possible, get contact details for the guy the eggs came from. I've tried and tried to get info online, but no joy so far. I got some...

    Java Thread

    That's all I could get from him, but I'll do some research tomorrow morning when our internet's a bit faster. And DH started this by seeing that hen at market and buying her! So he can't complain! He's now kicking himself for not buying me an incubator when we were at the feedstore to buy the...

    Java Thread

    Yeah, I couldn't get more info from him, but I'll do some research and see what I can find. We went back into town/market and stopped by to say hello to a cute rooster the guy had for sale there. He said he's probably got a Java rooster to spare for me and I told him I'll take all the Java hens...

    Java Thread

    I went back and spoke to the guy selling Javas at the market. He got his stock from a friend who imported the eggs from Belgium. Says he knows they are rare, but he's breeding them along with all the other breeds he's got as a hobby. Got a few incubators going etc. Unfortunately he didn't bring...

    Java Thread

    You will laugh when you see the pics I got! Trees and bits of coop with blurry bits of white chicken in-between and some really nice ones of her backside I'm going to ask DH to hold her for me sometime, IF we can catch her. We tried. She's very good at flying too!

    I tried and tried to get a good pic of my girl, but the moment she sees the camera she's off. And our camera won't zoom properly... I'm going to see if I can get more of them at the market tomorrow and I will "interrogate" their breeder

    Java Thread

    I've heard that chickens can see more colours than humans, so I won't be surprised if that plays a part. Funny thing is the 2 brown leghorns don't pick on the RIR, the BR or the Blue Bell, who is dark grey, almost black. They picked on the Silver Leghorn for a day or 2, but then they settled...

    Java Thread

    Thank you, that is very interesting! My 2 brown Leghorns decided they don't like the bantam so they've teamed up on her and she's refusing to leave the coop. We're going to build her her own little coop and run this week and see about getting her some friends on Friday. I really hope that guy...
