I just listed a dozen Black Mottled egg on the 24 hr auction thread, if anyone is interested. Selling low right now, so I don't get backed up again.Those little suckers lay like crazy!
Lowrider has the funniest little crow. Took him a while to even look like a roo. About a year. Then one day I heard this little crow and thought "Nooo", but there he was, under a tree with no one else around. A few minutes latter, there it went again. Even his breeder thought he was a hen. His...
Sounds like a Jap. My little BTB, Lowrider was my first Japanese. Never been able to find hens for him and he's gorgeous. He's been raised with anything from Marans to Rocks and doesn't realize how tiny he is. I've seen him bucked off the backs of huge hens and the other hens sound like they're...
Oh were you asking about the Jap as the breed? Looks like it, but I don't have black, so not sure about the white tips unless their going to change. Does he have short legs?
I've heard that the most. I don't have hatchery birds and it takes a while to sex these birds. I thought I had more pullets than roos in the growout pen, but took a look yesterday and not the case. Figures. But I couldn't sell day olds or even month olds as sexed. These birds are almost 4 months...
Hatchery birds are probably your only option for sexed chicks. I have some 3 and 4 months old and I'm just now able to sex them. Still iffy on a couple of them.
She's really pretty. I've though about getting BTW, but I really only got my Mottled for 2 main reasons. One, I was about to get an extremely nice pair. Two, I had been and still am looking for BTBs. LOL I have a really nice roo I hatched out almost 3 years ago. Only one to hatch from some...
I need knew pics too. Lowrider still has the gargling crow and he's a;most 3. One of my neighbors loves his crow. LOL Thank goodness, cause he could have said it was irritating. Do these eBay sellers have SQ stock? I need that or at least BQ.
OMG! I've so been there. Thankfully I live 2 blocks...
Thought I'd let you all know I have Black Mottled eggs up for auction

Oh of course I come in and see BTBs!! I swear I just can't find those suckers. I'd happily trade some Black Mottled eggs for some Black Tailed Buff eggs, or even a single pullet for some eggs.
I'm having issues with being able to take pics, but I hatched out 3 of the BMs for the Easter Hatch...
OK I guess I have to go another route, so thought I'd ask the experts. Is there a chance I could breed BTW or white to my BTBuff? I want BTB really bad and he's gorgeous, so I want more just like him. Which color would be my best bet?
I'll have to remember to check. Thank you!
Yeah, good luck with the BTBs. I've been trying to get girls for my roo for 2 years. Poor guy's is gonna die a virgin cause he's attracted to Marans and seeing that is just heart breaking. Think bucking bronco. I think I may give him a couple of OEGB...
