    Campine Chicken thread?

    just saying hello and happy new year -- my main flock is still recovering from a late molt this year, so no pictures -- but i also have an extra pair of young silver campines, in case anyone here is in northern CA and interested? i will get pictures once this crazy rain lets up! laura

    Campine Chicken thread?

    just saying hello to all you campine folks -- i haven't been on BYC much at all this spring, but my small flock of silver campines is still doing well -- very regular layers, and i swear every egg that is incubated hatches successfully. haven't done any concerted breeding (have been focusing on...

    Campine Chicken thread?

    and, here's a little video of them out and about: my rooster doesn't have any long tail feathers at this point, not sure why -- he really blends in with the girls!

    Campine Chicken thread?

    i will take some more once we get a break in our rain! standard, although they are a smallish breed.

    Campine Chicken thread?

    took a photo of my little flock (9 pullets/hens, one rooster) of silver campines yesterday -- they were happy for a brief break in our rain!

    Campine Chicken thread?

    i have not weighed any of my campines -- they are super-flighty and do not like to be held, and it seems unnecessary to stress them out at this stage, when i'm not even sure i'm going to breed them seriously -- it may be too much of a challenge for me! i have one rooster and six hens, one...

    Campine Chicken thread?

    excellent attitude! i'm planning on separating the rooster & one or two of the whitest-necked girls for egg collection a little later in the season, to see if i can get a hatch with better hackles... something to shoot for, at least!

    Campine Chicken thread?

    i'm seeing the same thing in my girls -- although one that had no black in the hackles in her first year, does after last fall's big molt -- so i wonder whether it varies from year to year? i've still got tails that are too high, too...

    Campine Chicken thread?

    wow, such fascinating photos! i ended up hatching all five campine eggs i'd set (along with seven other chicks) -- they seem incredibly vigorous and healthy after a week! here's another picture from right after they hatched:

    Campine Chicken thread?

    hello all, and happy new year! my life got crazily busy this fall and I've not been on the BYC site since October, but i did take a couple of photos of my silver campines (7 all together) recently, and so thought i'd share here: they are all (six girls plus Fred) doing great, and have been my...

    Campine Chicken thread?

    i've been off of BYC for a while, just too darned busy (and also wayyyyy behind on getting new photos of my campines), but just wanted to say, hey @Wisher1000 the photo of your pullet's banding is impressive! it looks quite a bit cleaner than mine, i think (although mine are so skittish...

    Campine Chicken thread?

    agreed, i have yet to see any that are particularly close. i'll have to try to get some photos of my flock this weekend, for comparison!

    Campine Chicken thread?

    very cool image! i'm home after a week's vacation and now doing some chicken-pen reorganizing -- and i think i've decided which of my five silver campine rooster/cockerels to keep, as only one of the boys has NOT inherited their dad's squirrel tail -- so, he stays. have separated dad & the...

    Campine Chicken thread?

    all of my chicks, both genders, have looked exactly the same -- light down with leopard-like spots.

    Campine Chicken thread?

    mine look like Deb's, kind of leopard-spotted -- the packing-peanuts ones look more chipmunk-y on their backs?

    Campine Chicken thread?

    thanks Deb -- i don't have a copy of the standard yet, have been holding out since i hear there will likely be a new version next year? i think i saved some images folks have posted here though... thanks for the guidance! (and for my founding rooster, since he came from eggs from your flock!)

    Campine Chicken thread?

    yay for the grandchicks! so i have one campine rooster and four young cockerels (roughly 3 months) -- is it too early to cull? their dad has a squirrelly tail, and it seems like a couple of his sons have better ones -- and i realize they aren't completely feathered in yet, so can't tell how...

    Campine Chicken thread?

    i just weighed the four eggs from my one laying hen that i have on hand -- they are 46, 47, 47, and 55 grams. she's just a little over a year old and hasn't molted yet -- i'll be interested to see whether they get larger after her first molt?
