Blue Andalusian thread!

[Lobos]

My Andies are beautiful. At 10-11 weeks old, the roo already has a large flowing tail, and a HUGE comb (like, 2-3 inches tall, which he has had since around week 7) and last week, he began crowing! I just simply call him Big Grey. He's the same size as my 11 week old Jersey Giant roo. He's gonna' be a big boy!

I lost 4 of my 5 Andalusians, the hunting terrier got into thecoop.
Does anyone have any for sale - S Can?

What are you looking for?

Maybe a young trio or a couple pullets

There is a show here in Fallon next weekend. I don't know if you were planning to attend or if you know someone who is. What are your goals as far as raising Andalusians?

I know I have a blue male that can go. As far as pullets though, I don't have many to choose from and you would need to understand that they are NOT show quality. I know I have one blue girl that can go but I'll have to check and see if there is another. I didn't do a lot of breeding last year of my large fowl so don't have many to choose from... and even fewer I want to hang onto. I have LOTS of bantam project females.

Send me a PM if you're interested. We don't need to tie up the thread with this discussion.

We didn't set out with the idea that we would be breeding, but not that we have a rare, heritage breed flock we have decided that is probably what we should do with some of them. Particularly those that are good examples of the breed. Do you know a good source for a cockerel as you have described?

NYREDS lives in New York state which is fairly close to you. There may be others in the area that have them but NYREDS would know. He gets on here and will probably be on in the next day or so or you can find him (type the name in the search box and then click "user") and send him a PM.

if by chance you are coming to northern california, i have a young blue andalusian cockerel - he is only 3 months, i was thinking to breed with him next spring...but he will probably end up at the feedstore eventually ....his parents are from sandhill preservation last year.

Any thoughts on when I can expect my blue andalusian pullet to start laying? She is 28 weeks old today and still nothing...
