Rightio - what do I breed.
I have
-
Araucanas - lavender and coloured
Light Sussex
Dark Barred Rocks
Light Barred Rocks
White Rocks
Silver Laced Wyandottes
Pekins
A few odd Hamburgs and Isa Browns in my layers pen.
For sale - lots of roosters from these breeds, some Barred rock hens, some SLW hens, some Araucana hens.
(all back yard quality only, apart from the Ara roosters which ar Show Quality
(TO answer Luke's question for the 3rd time - I know they are show quality because I bought the eggs from the person whose birds won First prize
at Warragul Poultry Show.
Eggs - the only eggs I have at the moment are Dark rocks, Some Araucanas, some Pekins/frizzle, and cross bred layers eggs.

I would love it if you can collect/keep me some ara eggs ash.
Ash I think Luke asks because there is a lot of talk on poultry sites about what classes as show quality. I have seen many a debate over the years, I have seen most listed for example as from show winning parents but with the clause of may not produce show quality, It seems to usually come down to finding out the standard for that type of chicken and breeding something as close to perfect as you can from them.
I have pekins and D'uccles from show winning parents... Are they show quality? wouldn't have a clue but they are darn fine looking birds to me.
Another debate on the subject I have seen is . I could for example take my marans to all the little country towns out here and win. I may be the only person that has marans and therefore I win and can sell my birds as show quality,. While I breed as close to standard as I can my birds may not compete with birds from the bigger city shows but I can still sell them as show quality,
My personal opinion on the subject... and that's all it is my opinion.. I would not sell anything as show quality unless that bird won a show... That's not how a lot of others do it and that's fine by me too, each to their own.

You have a nice variety of birds there Ash. Are you still doing your ara/barred rock crosses?
No - cross bred chickens are a waste of time nd money.
The only cross breds I will have from now on are from my general layers pen- several different hens of good laying strains, with an Isa Brown derived rooster over them
