THANKS FOR POSTING THE PICTURES AND MAKING COMMENTS. I crossed my large fowl Reds onto a bantam female 25 years ago I shrunk them down. The males in the wire cages where males I shrunk down they where about a pound over weight. I sent two of them to a breeder in Oklahoma and he crossed them on...

Ten year go picture 15 year old picture five year ago picture I don't have any pictures of his old line but they kind of looked like this line I have. Brick shaped dark true to breed old fashion Rhode Island Reds. Today we have two types of Rhode Island Reds you have to decide which ones...

When you try to improve a breed you got to figure a long range goal of at least ten years. Most people give up in three years on projects heck they give up with just a normal breed. If you go to a poultry show and visit with people and ask them how is the rocks or reds or orps doing they will...

Good ones will go for $75 to $150 a trio. Depends on the breeder. I may have to pay $50 for a breeder hen from a breeder in the spring to cross into my line maybe $75. I want this strain as its the strain I have from Ohio. I don't want to cross another line in as it will set me back three...

Wow that guy has type. Just think I could have had a pair of these in 2000 when we pulled these guys out of a box that was shipped to the APA convention in Lincoln Nebraska. That is where they where first introduced to American at that show. Got to give these guys credit in 13 years they sure...

lLoks like this thread is dead. No interest in H bantams I guess. bob Then how about feed store hatchery bantams. Bet we could get a hundred post on those scrubs. Easy to order bantams from those folks they have pretty pictures anyway.

old male five years ago his grand son Bill Bowen from Ohio. He is dead but a few of us still have his great classic line. He was the Brahma King of Brahma Kings. Great bantam and great mothers. That is why I have them I used them for my Call duck eggs if the egg was fertile they would hatch...

http://cdn.backyardchickens.com/4/44/44f879a5_66877_dsc_8007.jpeg been reading this tread. good reading like this method of soaking for day and half or less then finding this on your sack. I have some old poultry books that showed old oat spotters and then used a old gas or oil burner to heat...

Great idea I fiddle with sprouted wheat is oats better for fertility? During the winter I give them a pinch ten or so leaves they love it. Its all about semi free range. If they could get out and run they find the stuff they need. When it comes to a finish on a bird free range is the secret...

From the Indiana state Fair Site Champion Feather legged Bearded White Silkie hen Shari McCollough Your Delaware Bantams may be better than some large fowl that we looked at three years ago for color and type. Nice pictures. Do many of you considered having bantams to hatch your eggs for...
