Maybe it is just the picture, but Magnus does look like a Magnus to me. The hackle and cape feathers appear to be fairly sharp/pointed. No idea on the second one.Hey there all!
SpringPeeper I had to respond to these 2 things
First you have Australorps??? where did you get them? I don't need to be put on a list at this point because I am assuming it will be more than a year before I "need" some but I would love to know more.
The Australorps were ones I was looking for a good local source on, but family members gave me four pullet chicks as a thank you for tending their flocks while they took a five-week road trip. One of the females turned out to be not so pullety after all. She said she got them at 'the feed store'- which for her *likely* means C bar D in Chico. I don't remember which hatchery they get their birds from. I l know she got the two ducks she later ave my kids from there. They're not laying yet, but if you're only looking for hatchery stock I could set you up with eggs or chicks later on. Either that, or we'll help each other keep an eye out for good local stock. If it is a next year type thing, maybe I'll have some nice ones laying by the time you are ready.
Quote: No, it does make sense. Still hoping the histology and cultures will tell me more. Speaking of which, time to check my email!
