Meyers nursery or hatchery in Polk Ohio had some pretty good quality pet quality black Sumatra if you're looking for show quality can have someone ship you some eggs from the Dallas-Fort Worth area if you want contact information just private message me.

Just curious how everyone's projects are going this thread has been silent lately. Best wishes. Pictured is my low gal on the totem pole she was the only bird that would venture out in the sun when I had my camera handy.

First egg from a Black Sumatra today! She was hatched out 21 July 2017, so good timing on putting a nice roo into the mix.

In a follow up post I am so looking forward to my next roo from Longtails. They had posted here previously in the Sumatra thread and are a Texas breeder. I am expecting to receive this roo Friday in the early AM and willing to bet he is totally bred to SOP. He may be a black or blue but I just...

A forum search for "Sumatra Eggs" should get you where you want to go. I would not recommend MPC for roos as they ship their chicks from Meyers in Polk, OH(at least in my case). They were all rather heat intolerant, 5/5 were of a foul disposition, and all had red wattles 1 had a red comb. I...

Unrelated to Sumatra, we are so happy. We have attracted a breeding pair of Green Jays to our property using 5 grain scratch in a bird feeder. This has been a goal for us since we moved into this area they show up just after sunrise and then every 3-4 hours until sunset. They have such a...

I was thinking of putting them under the deck/carport but my wife saw a hawk streak under the carport today. The correct search term for those restraints are " tie out gamefowl or rooster", regardless I am going to see if they are stocked here at the local feed store. I am pretty sure they are...

Yes my only potential predators are hawks, my wife and I were sitting on the porch in our rocking chairs watching the chicken TV. We had a hawk attempt less than an hour ago. The dogs did their thing, but we were thinking just provide good cover and food should be adequate.

Might even be a good idea too just in case the girls are getting abused to much when mating season gets here vs using hen saddles. And yep were talking the same thing lasso=leash.

Thanks! I'm just going to wait and see at 5 months and only small nubby spurs he isn't much of a threat yet. When I chased him around he respected my dominant chicken space quite well so I'm hoping this was a one off! When those hormones come in we will see. Being 99% vegetarian I'm not going...

Sorry so slow to reply, very glad the link helped you out. Definetely, pullet.

I think that since you are in New York you might consider Meyers stock vs Ideals. Since Meyers were bred in Polk, OH vs a Texas bread one from Ideal. I was seeing much heat stress from my OH stock last summer/fall/early winter for me with the OH bread ones. I think Meyers only sells the...

I do like her tail angle a lot, her face isn't really gypsie in color quite a lot of red in it vs pure black. Regardless I like this breed and her curves are just looking near perfect. Breed standard drawing included.

Mine are at 5 months, the boys are looking great (from Meyers stock) but I have three. I was out in the yard distracted on the cell phone and was struck from behind by one of the boys(first time occurance and we are at 60 degrees F). The single spurs are just coming in now. I figured it was best...

I say pullet let me send you a link to what I figured out sexing them. #1 no comb, #2 bifurcated heart shaped feathering, #3 no sicle feathers, #4&5 I need a top down photo. here is the link let me know if it needs to be made into an article sexing Sumatra, the females are so roo like in their...

OMG I'm loving this I have a rooster who is just starting to crow from my mid July hatchlings. It is so funny totally worth it for the giggle factor!

Hehe, I hoe nobody ever records me talking to my flock. That would be embarrasing. Wel I FINALLY figured out how to sex my flock just this evening and after subtracting 2 roo's (neighbor liked their looks). I have 5 pullets and 3 cockerel. The Cocks necks gave it away with all those painful...

She has a great looking gypsy face, with what appears to be the darker eye color from the breeder. I have them in dark and light brown eyes. Does your still tolerate being picked up? Not one of mine like it not one single bit they scream bloody murder until they are 100% securely tucked in to a...

@mistfall

I think I have a hatchery for you I just posted pics on the most current page of this thread. If that is what you are looking for in a Large Fowl Sumatra, these were ordered from My Pet Chicken but drop shipped from Polk, Ohio so with 99.9% certainty by Meyer Hatchery...
