someone, I think it was ChampionSumatra asked for a pic of my Blue laying Sumatra hen and her egg. I call her "Lil Blue" As she is tiny, blue and lays a blue egg. She is 6 years old now. Still an egg laying and egg hiding fool. She is very feral and camera shy so I got these through the living...
the books I am refering to were written well before color photagraphy was invented. So I can only go by what they write, not what they looked like by pictures
I pee standing up. I'm a rooster not a hen
Every time I put my opinion or my results from my flock out in this thread I'm...
I don't have troubles with any one who breeds. I take issue with being told what happens with MY flock is impossible. When I see it time and time again. Yes it isn't high school. Although many of the responses by "educators" were very high schoolish
You the man
it should not.
Raph, yes, why are my results, that I document for myself in question? It is my flock. I have worked this flock for 5 plus years now. I know MY flock.

I have one like him but even better. Except for now as he is moulting. I have another young red head who I think will look even better yet. I get a few a year as red naturally occurs in Sumatra's. Even though SOP say not, it does.
Good looking boy you have there.
that is just passion from my end. I am passionate about my birds and can only report on the results of my flock. Passion kicks in when I'm told I'm wrong about my own experiences with my own flock.
I'm the outcast here. I don't and will never show. I think most of you do or want to. To each...
It does answer it. Blues were present in the 1850's. It is a naturally occuring color in Sumatra's. As is red. It is in the initial writings. Yet SOP says black. Why? Because a couple of elitist guys sat around a table looking at caged chickens and decided what was best in a breed. Black won out...
historical records show blues since Sumatra's were found in 1850. Those records tell of MANY different colors in the wild. A few Americans decided way back when that only blacks were std. Which is why I won't show. I see you guys going back and forth on what judges want. Which in most cases has...
