Look true to breed so much better looking birds that I saw my first time two years ago. Thanks for the pictures and post. Anymore pictures out there you folks are proud of to share with us?
Who has the best strain of Colored Mottled Javas? How long would it take to improve this color miss match. What is more important good Java type first then improve color. I have seen breeds that have good color but have poor type and with out good type do you have the breed at heart. It seems...
Don't Forget David he has the pure McGraw line and lives about a mile from where Dr. McGraw's son lived who had the stock after his dad died.
So if he has plenty of females this year he should or if he has time be able to supply the real gene pool to those who need Mottled Javas of this line...
When my snow mobile is over hauled this Jan I could try to make the trip.
No just kidding. I have to sit in a King Cab with Matt 1616 to make it to this show in Baton Rogue. This will be as far as I am going this year.
Have a surplus of Mottle Java Large Fowl from Dr. McGraws line. Will be bringing two pair to the Baton Rogue Show in November to share with interested Java want a be breeders who want to help keep this old line form 1959 going.
Send me a personnel message if you want a pair or the two pair. bob
Up date on our Mottle Java project. We have orders for all but one lot for next spring of ten started chicks which will be shipped out to the interested die hard Java breeder. These are a lot of Mottle Javas that we found from Dr. Albert McGraw in Alabama a old line form 1969. Never been crossed...
If you got javas from a son in Alabama it would be Dr. McGraw's son as this is where the adult birds I have which where two old males two hens and a pullet came from. Dr. Mc Graw died about 7 years or so and he kept them and the guy who gave them to me got them from his son about five years ago...
Got the pre issue of the Java Club Newsletter today and great issue promoting the history of the Mottled Java and my old strain I found of Dr. McGraw’s line of Mottled Java’s. I will try to help you get a copy of this issue. May be able to go directly to the club web site I have not researched...
Nice first egg. Yes this is a big Genetic Find for me. Never did I think these birds went back 60 years and still pure Mottle Javas. Most people have crossed blacks on them to get type better.
I think someday with six or eight hard core breeders this old line can rise to the heights as the...
talked to Jim tonight the strain started out in 1959 he raised up two hundred birds at one time and improved the egg production from 15 eggs to 150 eggs in about 30 years. This is a old strain of Mottled Javas. Jim is going to get ten chicks from us next spring. Hope to have ten more to share to...
DOEES ANYONE HAVE A CONTACT NUMBER OR EMAIL ADDRESS FOR Jim WARD JEFFERSON OHIO.
I am trying to contact him about a old line of Mottle Javas I found from the late Dr. Albert McGraw of Alabama .
I have two sources who have this old gene pool. One in Texas and one in Pensacola Florida. This is...
Sorry I thought you where some one else. Then you are Mrs. Java. There was a great lady from your region once here name was Goldie who had Black Jersey Giants.
Thanks for the information on the Mottled Javas. It could be that many who have these birds today are from his old line. Therefor if...
We all know you are Mr. Java and have done so much for this breed over the years. I will post the picture that was sent to me. I am after the lost genes the Dr. McGraw had in his flock. His son had them and just let them breed naturally and not to maintain or improve them. I have done this be...
Marty we where talking about you today on the phone a freind and I. He asked me did Dr. Albert McGraw have a so so flock of Mottled Javas? Does anyone else have his old line or not? Does it really mean anything if they do are they really worth trying to keep his old line going for the Java...
